The pendant is one of the oldest jewelry. The craving for beauty made women hang shells, stones, animal fangs and wood crafts around their necks. Over time, the pendant has become a means of demonstrating the status of a person, his belonging to a religious or social group. And now, in addition to the listed motives for wearing pendants, there is another important one - the desire to express your personality.

How to choose and with what you can wear a pendant to emphasize your beauty and tell the world about your views, interests and values? We understand this issue.

Where and which pendant to wear?

To the office and to the party, the pendants are commendable, but their style will vary greatly.

Before a crucial event, hang a horseshoe on the rope - an eternal sign of good luck.

For an informal evening party, wear classic or retro accessories. Match the same exquisite decoration to an exquisite expensive one. Let the chain be thin, made of a precious alloy, and the pendant on it - large or refined, with sparkling stones. Let your party image sparkle and shimmer in the rays of warm artificial light, bewitching others.

   To meet with a group of friends, you are free to wear what you want. With loved ones, you can’t hide the hidden corners of the soul, expressing yourself in extraordinary, avant-garde jewelry.

Clothing plus a pendant - the perfect combination

Choose an accessory in accordance with the situation - half the battle, you still need to decide on suitable outfits. So we are going to once again review the contents of the closet or boldly run to buy a new outfit for your favorite pendant.

• Wear a turtleneck, shirt or blouse with a closed neckline to work under the pendant in a restrained style. This is the case when it is necessary to wear jewelry on top of clothes, often with a high collar. The exception is a fairly short chain.
• But pendants full of loose stones look spectacular and seductive in the neckline of a feminine blouse or evening dress on naked skin. What is not an option for another date at a restaurant or going out to an elite reception?

The color of the medallion can successfully harmonize with the tone of your outfit:

Try to match the decoration to the shape of the costume. Let the cut line be repeated in the shape of the pendant. For example, to a triangular neckline of a blouse - a pendant-triangle or rhombus, to an oval - the same shape of a medallion, to a round - a rounded talisman. And then try to achieve the opposite effect. Focus on asymmetry and contrast.

   Stylists insist that very tiny pendants should not be worn over clothes. After all, they are so “lost." Large ones can be placed both on naked skin and on top of the fabric. Massive medallions on sweaters, jackets and even coats look great.

Determine the style

Since they decided to draw maximum attention to the neck and décolleté, then let the pendant become an independent decoration and differ in color and shape from other clothes and accessories. Only one uniform style should be aged. So let's figure it out in style directions:

In the fashion of 2017, individuality and extravagance reign. Buy accessories in your style, but follow a series of tips in order to be in trend:

Suspension Secrets

Often a pendant is sold as a single product, and the task appears to choose a chain to it. Follow these few style rules:

In the past, they tried to find a set of earrings, rings and necklaces. Now it is not necessary to follow this rule. The pendant has turned into an independent, full-fledged decoration of a woman. The exception is pearl and diamonds, they can not do without a pair.

Give in to the spirit of experimentation, play around with decorations:

   Stylists do not advise women with a lush bust to wear large pendants and long chains.

If a girl has set a goal to seduce a man of dreams, she can resort to one method: let the pendant be on a chain of such length that it will be lost in the neckline of clothes. Attracting attention to the chest, a beautiful decoration will emphasize the naked tender skin of the neckline.

The pendant is deservedly considered a very liberal piece of jewelry. It can be of any color, shape and size. Egyptian, Indian, African ethnic pendants fascinate with original color, and graceful keys, hearts, gold flowers speak of the craftsmanship of the jewelers who created them. Now you know how to wear pendants, but the choice is yours.

The new pendant can refresh your usual everyday wardrobe without any special expenses, and in solemn moments make you a real queen.

Unlike earrings and bracelets, which require a more biased selection, pendants leave us more room to choose. But he also needs to observe certain principles. Perhaps the most important rule on how to wear a pendant is to match the style of decoration with the overall image of the owner.

We add pendants to the general style

With a colorful ethnic outfit, appropriate accessories that emphasize certain motifs (for example, Indian, Egyptian, African, and so on) look appropriate. Exquisite evening outfit is combined with classic pendants, vintage or retro. Unusual products will suit lovers of avant-garde ideas. The business suit allows for classic pendants without bright accents, bulkyness and overly catchy finishes. The cross as a fairly intimate decoration during business meetings is best worn under clothes.

The choice of suspension on the situation where it is planned to wear

For everyday wear, a small sophisticated pendant is suitable. For special occasions, you can allow yourself something brighter and more eye-catching. The same principle is considered true for age categories. The younger the girl, the more elegant her pendant. At the same time, it is youth fashion that offers all kinds of unusual and original forms and ideas. It is appropriate for respectable ladies to wear elegant, stylish, stone inlaid jewelry.

The pendant does not have to go “included”

Today's fashion is not very categorical as to how to wear pendants - a set with earrings, a ring, a bracelet or an independent accessory. The general tendency to minimize any restrictions allows you to freely express yourself. Therefore, a compulsory ensemble is not required. For example, Western stylists generally advise against picking earrings or rings in a set for suspension, except when it comes to diamonds or a pearl headset .

How to choose a chain to a pendant?

Today it is believed that it is enough to combine jewelry with each other in style, color and material. A silver pendant, for example, is not worn on a gold chain. But a white gold product can be worn on a silver chain.

The pendant should also match the chain by weight. Massive suspension will look inharmonious on a very thin chain. It is advised to select the pendant to the chain so that the weight of the chain is approximately 2 times greater than the weight of the pendant. Chain weaving also matters - too complex and ornate will distract attention from the pendant.

What is the suspension combined with?

Color spectrum   jewelry should be in harmony with the basic tone of clothing. This is especially important in relation to pendants with stones. Looks great and full contrast. There are also some nuances in how to choose a pendant, focusing on skin and eye color. Red and white gold look great on a bronze skin tone, yellow gold goes to white-skinned ladies. Dark eyes successfully emphasize pendants with stones of reddish-brown shades, any colors are suitable for gray eyes, and for holders of green eyes - pendants with purple stones.

Decoration can also be combined with the shape of the suit, repeating bends of cut lines or vice versa , intentionally seeking contrast or asymmetry. But at the same time, stylists urge to remember that the pendant is absolutely not necessary to “combine” with anything. Like any jewelry, pendants are sometimes good on their own and bring the right shade to your look, even if you don’t pick them up “under the eyes”, “to the earrings” or “to the shade of the dress”.

We wear fashionable large pendants on long chains

Very long chains - “opera” or “lariat” - again became extremely popular. They often carry large pendants of simple geometric shapes - round, oval, pyramids and the like. In the West, this type of catchy conspicuous jewelry has its own name - "Statement jewelry"   (expressive, "loud" jewelry). And precisely because of their "volume", the most important thing when wearing large pendants is to maintain balance. How to do this?

Firstly, the best large pendants on a long chain look at long tops or other long or wide clothing - tunics, maxi dresses and the like. For clarity, imagine that you are trying to hang a huge picture on the wall of the smallest room in your house - it is unlikely to look harmonious. In addition, clothes with “Horizontal” line of shoulders   (for example, a cutout with a "boat" without straps or with a lowered shoulder) also looks great in combination with these "vertical" lines of chains.

Secondly, a large pendant is the center of attraction, and with it it is undesirable to wear other catchy jewelry - earrings or bracelets.

And finally, it is important to consider the moment with proportions. Pendants on long V-shaped chains visually create an elongated line that lengthens and shaping your figure . However, if you are not tall, too long a chain with a pendant, on the contrary, will visually make you smaller than you are.

More examples of images with large pendants on a long chain:

The trend for layering has also touched pendant chains

The trend for multi-rowness could not ignore neck jewelry - fashion necklaces, for example in the style of punk rock, multi-layer fashion beads ..

Chains, including with pendants, are no exception, and stylists give tips on how to combine them correctly to achieve an interesting effect.

Multi-row chains look better in combination with a light top - a blouse.

The number of rows is desirable (although there are different opinions) should be odd.

An interesting "dynamics" of the image can be obtained due to the contrast of the texture of the chains, for example, combining thin and coarser chains, or smooth and "ribbed". For example, smooth pearls can be worn together with an angular metal chain, and a regular chain with a string of beads. Large square rhinestones will look great together with a golden chain or a string of pearls.

Separate study requires length combination   and the volume of chains. For example, it makes sense to have closer chains that are closer to the neck and leave more distance between the chains as you move down. This arrangement draws attention to your face.

Chains similar in style   or texture, can be worn closer to each other so that they look like a single chain For example, to place close rows with beads or pearls of different sizes.

And finally, about pendant chains , which can also be worn in several rows, although this idea at first seems absurd. To combine several pendants on the neck, the most important thing is to put them on thin chains so that all the attention is focused on the pendants. Pendants closer to the neck should be the smallest and lightest. Between the rows of chains you need to leave enough space for each pendant to fit freely - this is achieved by the difference in the length of the chains.

“Pile” of chains, including with pendants, around the neck is also an “expressive, loud” decoration. Therefore, you should not put on catchy jewelry at the same time on other parts of the body, especially the same piles of bracelets or rings. The best choice of earrings for this occasion is miniature carnations.

What else to consider when choosing a pendant or pendant?

A real test may be the need to choose a pendant as a gift. First of all, you need to focus on addictions and style of a person. It is unlikely that a romantic girl will like a solid pendant, and, for example, a lady aged - an extravagant youth pendant.

Body proportions and neck length   when choosing a suspension, you also need to consider. So, a short neck can be visually changed using an elongated form of a pendant on a chain middle length. The massive pendant emphasizes the short upper body. If the chain is short, then the suspension should have rounded smooth shapes. With low growth, as already mentioned, do not wear too long a chain with a large pendant. Also, similar pendants will not look very good on a lady with a large bust, especially if she wears a tight-fitting turtleneck or t-shirt.

Examples of pendants, the choice of which may raise doubts:

  Pendant on a long chain with a large bust

  Round pendant on a too small chain with a short neck

The pendant should fit the chain in size. The larger it is, the more massive and stronger the chain should be. The ratio is considered safe when the suspension is two times lighter.

You should regularly check the reliability of locks.

When choosing a pendant, you need to pay attention to its fastening, including whether it has a diameter sufficient to miss a chain or cord.

Careful wearing and careful handling of the jewelry (cleaning, avoiding contact with chemicals) will help to keep it in excellent condition.

A pendant is a type of pendant. It is worn on a lace or chain. Fundamentally from the suspension is no different. It is made of precious and base metals, may have inserts of precious or ornamental stones. It can be made, including, from glass (Murano), leather, bone.

Where to wear the pendant?

Unlike a pendant that can be attached to a bracelet on an arm or leg, to make a piercing with it, a chain with a pendant is intended only to be worn on the neck. Therefore, you need to know a few simple rules on how to put them on. It all depends on the length of the chain. If it is large, then the chain with the pendant will lie on the chest and emphasize the beauty of the bust.   On a shorter chain, the pendant draws attention to a beautiful neckline or pretty neck. If the chain with the pendant drops below five centimeters from the collarbone, then this will visually lengthen the neck. A pendant lying between the clavicles will emphasize the perfection of its shape. For a long elegant neck, a short chain with a pendant is suitable.

How to choose the right chain

From wearing jewelry, the chains fray and tear, and you can irretrievably lose both the jewelry and the chain. The ratio of the weight of gold or pendant should be two to one. Even more reliable, if the weight of the chain for the pendant is three times the weight of the pendant. In addition, the type of weaving affects the strength of the chain. The most durable - anchor and shell, as they are easily bent. This does not harm them. If you wrap such a chain on your finger, then it will lie smoothly, without creases. It is in this case that a gold or silver chain with a pendant will last a long time.

Image creation

The pendant can be selected in accordance with the circumstances when it will be used - in the afternoon or in the evening. It can be a retro style that never goes out of style.   Sapphire, ruby, emerald or alexandrite surrounded by diamonds is an eternal classic. But an ultramodern style is also possible, which will catch everyone's eye with its laconicism. Unusual, these golden figures are smooth and shiny, streamlined.

How pendants are distinguished

By appointment:

• Feminine, elegant and light. A flower is one of the most popular motifs.

• Gold, including from white and Since gold has always been considered a sign of wealth, then with a pendant it will indicate the success and independence of its owner.
• Silver can emphasize a person’s personality and style better than gold, and they are very good when worn daily. What is interesting is silver: the more often it is put on, the more its individual parts shine, while the others, while remaining dark, emphasize the shine and all the more it becomes interesting if it is the result of using a pendant with a chain, and not the work of a jeweler. It is silver that is most often used in the manufacture of children's chains with a pendant.

Forms and materials of pendants

The pendant itself can have a variety of forms. The imagination of jewelers has no limits. The materials that are applied are also varied. It makes no sense to list them - for this, imagine chains with pendants. A photo will show their diversity.

Firstly, it’s just an ornament that can have geometric shapes (circle, oval, rhombus, rectangle).

It is difficult to break away from listing everything that jewelers came up with and embodied in products.

And it doesn’t matter that this is a pendant with sapphire or amethyst, set in diamonds, or modern jewelry steel. You can only be amazed at the quality and variety of the pendants offered. Improvisations of jewelers do not allow them to be classified according to their appearance, because there are watches, aroma pendants, initials, amulets, flash pendants, zodiac signs, and much more.

Short are considered chains up to 50 centimeters long. The minimum factory size is 34 centimeters. The gradation of lengths differs by 55 millimeters. That is, jewelry of 35, 40, 45, 50 centimeters is considered to be non-long. Intermediate sizes are possible. Those are made only to order.

The advantages of short chains

Short items tightly encircle the neck, drawing attention to it. The chain will emphasize youthful skin. The jewelry also focuses on the length of the neck. If it is a swan, a short option is permissible. A short piece of jewelry cuts off the neck. The visual deduction of a couple of centimeters is fearless only if it is long.

Short models are good in terms of safety. They do not cling to hair and other objects during movements, bends. Short options are less likely to be thwarted by criminals. Chains up to 50 centimeters in length are difficult to grasp, especially to grasp unnoticed. Short samples are usually inexpensive. Thieves are initially set to search for more expensive and longer jewelry.

Short chain shortcomings

Disadvantages arise from virtues. For short necks the same jewelry is not suitable. The verdict of stylists - short chains visually cut off the neck. If it is already not a swan, a suitable option is a long product. It focuses on the décolleté zone. In addition, the line of the chain, as it were, will continue the outlines of the neck, lengthening it visually.

Short neck chainsattract attention to the skin. If it is flabby, wrinkled, with scars and other flaws, a short decoration will make them more visible to others.

It matters and convenience when fastening. The product fitting around the neck is more difficult to fix on your own, you have to fiddle for a long time, or ask for help from others.

Short Chain Selection Rules

If the product is purchased under the pendant, you must pay attention to the weight of the necklace. With the wrong ratio of the severity of the suspension and the chain, the latter may break. To prevent this from happening, the chain should be at least twice as heavy as the pendant.

If the model is lighter, but I liked it, it’s worth the risk in only one case. This case is an integral product of simple shapes. If this is damaged, any jeweler can easily restore it. In addition, options without internal cavities, in principle, withstand greater loads than inflated ones. A simple link pattern also lends itself to any master. Ornate patterns of chains, usually taken to restore only at the factory.

For pendants of five types of chains, anchor and shell ones are preferred. Names are derived from weave types. The remaining three types: fantasy, perlins and stamped sedentary. Under the weight of the suspension, they will not be able to gracefully bend.

This rule applies gold short chains  and other metal options. Rubber cords and necklaces made of leather are not subdivided into species depending on weaving. Their materials are flexible in all configurations.

It is advised to make a choice in favor of a short-chain precious chain for those who daily create spectacular images with a needle. A short product always remains in sight. Gold is disharmonious with casual, casual outfits. Alternative models of rubber, leather, plastic are suitable for such.

If you certainly want silver and gold, long chains are more universal. They are easy to hide under clothing with a sporty look or, simply, an ill-conceived bow. In the case of a spectacular outfit, the decoration can be put on public display by placing it in the neckline of a dress or putting it on over a blouse with a collar.

The short chain should not be equal to the circumference of the neck. The desired length of the product is 3-6 centimeters more than this indicator. With head tilts, heat, emotional bursts, neck parameters change. A close-fitting jewelry will surely break.

With a non-independent choice of a product, and receiving it as a gift, a jeweler will come to the rescue. The master will add several links to the chain, making it comfortable to wear. An excessively short sample is fraught not only with the risk of tearing, but also with scuffs on the skin of the neck.

Short chain prices

Gold options cost from 2 thousand rubles. So much is asked for products from the 585th metal sample. At the same time, the length of jewelry is no more than 40 centimeters.

Silver samples are estimated from 450 rubles. Such, for example, are exhibited by the OZON store. Chains are made of an alloy of the 925th test. The weaving is the simplest - anchor. The models are thin, which is good for young women and slender women. The length of the chains is 40, 45 centimeters.

Rubber cords cost from 100 rubles. This is the price for samples without additional metal inserts. Metal elements can be made of non-precious raw materials, for example, bronze. In this case, the margin will be only 50-100 rubles. If the inserts are made of silver and gold, the check for the chain should be at least 600 rubles.

Leather options are similar in price to rubber. In the presence of metal inserts, the cost is affected not only by their material, but also by the number of additional elements and their weight. As you know, the price is set per gram of precious metal.

Famous brands often combine gold and platinum with satin ribbons. Precious links are put on them. Products are tied on a bow, creating a feminine, sophisticated, aristocratic image. In typical collections there are no such samples, therefore, the cost of jewelry is high. For example, the brand chain "GRAZIELLA" cost from 5 thousand dollars.
