Pointers For Selecting Beautiful Handmade Necklaces

By Stephanie Cox


Most people have jewelry lying around in their drawers. Some of these items may have been selected for you, while you may have bought others yourself. The next time you want to buy yourself or a friend something nice, consider getting beautiful handmade necklaces. These trinkets not only support local entrepreneurs but are also made to suit you or the person you are buying wearer.

Necklaces come in many categories based on their length. They range from chokers which are about fourteen inches, to lariats, which are over thirty inches and can be draped around the neck a number on times. The materials used to make these items can range from lace to metal. Therefore, to choose the right piece, you need to look at some factors.

The sex of the wearer should also be considered. Although plain chains and those with pendants can be regarded as unisex, you have to factor in the gender and age of the person, who will wear the accessory. For younger people of either sex, flashier items may be appropriate, while older people may prefer something more low key. When buying these items especially for men, keep their personalities in mind to avoid buying something to avoid buying something they will not wear.

Consider the personal style of the wearer. This prevents you from buying something covered in gemstones for a casual dresser. In case you are buying them for yourself, determine to which occasion you will wear the necklace. To be on the safe side, pick something versatile which can be worn with any outfit, and to for any occasion be it to work or for a party.

Most people assume that gold and silver are suitable for everyone. However, you will find that people with cool skin tones are better placed wearing things with blue or silver hues, while those with a warm skin tone, can wear browns, reds, and gold colored items. The shape of your face will also dictate the length of your accessories unless you have symmetrical facial features.

Most people who are allergic to jewelry get a rash or feel itchy where that particular item lies. If you suspect you may be allergic to metal, you can get a necklace with a cloth or leather chain. This is especially necessary for things like chokers, which will be in contact with a large part of the skin. If you can afford it, choose something made of a pure metal, especially if you think that the wearer has allergies.

Sometimes, you find that handmade jewelry is more expensive that your regular accessories even when the features are similar. Consider that you are more likely to get a unique piece when it is handmade, and the artistry will also be finer. However, be careful when shopping because there are people who may use pieces of glass to make the pendants, and pass them off as precious stones.

If you live in Kansas, then you will find that there are some shops which stock these items. In some of them, you can even order for a whole set of bespoke matching items. In case you need repairs done on these necklaces, it is best to get them done at the same place you bought them.
