NECKLACE STYLE GUIDE

NORTHEASTERN FINE JEWELRY’S NECKLACE STYLE GUIDE

Every woman has their own unique personal style, and necklaces are a timeless yet captivating way to elevate looks for every occasion. From delicate solitaire necklaces to thick and glamorous necklaces that sit beautifully around the neckline, women are always seeking rarity and versatility when discovering a unique, new necklace style.

SOLITAIRE NECKLACES

A solitaire necklace often consists of brilliant diamond or colorful gemstone that sits at the end of a delicate or bold chain. Solitaire necklaces are coveted for their ability to be dressed up or down for any occasion and come in a variety of hues and styles. Wear a heavy-karat diamond solitaire necklace for an appearance of luxury and glamour, or add a classically delicate solitaire necklace creation to your everyday personal style.

STATION NECKLACES

Using unique bezel settings to hold vibrant gemstones in place, station necklaces feature gorgeous metal chains with multiple stations of gemstones, precious pearls, or diamonds. Station necklaces are timeless yet chic and sophisticated, making them an ideal accessory for every fashion look. Wear a station necklace as the main focal point for any outfit, or mix and match different styles of station necklaces for an eclectic and bohemian feel.

CHAIN NECKLACES

One of the most popular necklace styles, chain necklaces are often worn as everyday fashion accessories to add flair to any outfit. Chain necklaces are often crafted from sterling silver or precious gold, linking together different shapes that result in various chain necklace styles. This style appears graceful and ethereal when worn alone. For a flirtatious look, wear several chain necklaces in different lengths with added charms or pendants.

LARIAT NECKLACES

Lariat necklaces are known for their dramatic lengths and unique pendant or tassel additions. Rather than resting against the neck or collarbone, lariat necklaces tend to dive deep below the collarbone resulting in a long oval shape. These necklaces can be worn backward to mix things up and pair expertly with backless dresses. Lariat necklaces are gorgeous when worn alone as the sole piece of jewelry for a special occasion, creating a daring focal point.

COLLAR NECKLACES

One of the most notorious and luxurious necklace styles, the collar necklace has been worn by women for generations. Much like a shirt collar, collar necklaces are an elegant way to adorn the neck when dressing up to impress. Collar necklaces are usually breathtaking and vibrant, created to sit regally against the collarbone. Unlike other necklace styles, collar necklaces sit flat against the body rather than hanging freely below the neckline.
