Chain necklaces are a timeless, classic fashion statement. Whether you’re channeling your 70s style with a double strand of pearls or opting for something more quirky and modern, chains add that extra touch to every outfit you choose.
Here are six good reasons people like to wear chains.
1. They’re timeless
A chain necklace has the potential to be worn again and again, making it a great choice for all ages. Vintage necklaces, like this one featuring a large whale pendant, can be found at antique stores and second-hand shop. They can also be handmade by skilled jewellers.
2. Chain necklaces add individuality
People who have chosen to wear chains will have made a deliberate style choice – many of these pieces are hung alongside brightly coloured clothing so they stand out against their wearer’s off-white wardrobe. Chains can also be very intricate and beautiful, like this black and silver snake pendant.
3. They can be simple or complex
Chains can come in all shapes, sizes and colours – you can wear a double strand of pearls, a large pendant on a thick chain or a long choker around your neck. You don’t have to go all out – you could opt for just one chain to jazz up an otherwise plain outfit.
4. They’re versatile
As well as adding an edge to every outfit you wear, chains look great when teamed with other jewellery pieces such as rings, bracelets and earrings. They can also be worn inside the neckline of a jumper or tucked into a dress – you’ll find them being worn with necklaces on both sides, like this double chain necklace.
5. They’re easy to wear
Chain necklaces are usually small and simple, so they are easy to slip over your head. You can also wrap a chain partway around your wrist or have it fastened using a choker style clasp, which is easier to do than pulling the whole thing through your hair.
6. They can be layered
Chain necklaces look great by themselves, but they can also be layered. A thin chain looks great worn over a thicker one or alongside a pendant – this open-weave choker with a gold bell on it would make a nice addition to any outfit.
Conclusion:
There are plenty of reasons to love chains. The larger chains can be made from heavier materials like silver and gold, or even precious gemstones and semi-precious stones. They’ll stand out against any outfit, and have the opportunity to be decorated with charms, charms, charms. They can become a new fashion staple or simply become your favourite choice of accessory.
