What's the best style of Necklace?

There are many different necklace styles to choose from, discover some of the most popular options below and why they're a great choice for particular outfits and occasions.

• Pendant Necklace: A classic and versatile option, featuring a decorative charm or gemstone suspended from a delicate chain. Pendant lengths vary, but a popular choice is the princess length (43-46cm), which falls just below the collarbone. Pendants can be simple and elegant or statement-making, perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.
• Layered Necklace: A trendy look that combines multiple necklaces of varying lengths. Layered necklaces (often featuring a mix of chain, pendant, and choker styles) add a touch of bohemian flair and can be dressed up or down.
• Cross Necklace (Silver Cross Necklace for Women & Womens Gold Cross Necklace): A meaningful symbol of faith, available in a variety of styles and materials like silver, gold, and rose gold. Cross necklaces come in various sizes and can be worn at any length.
• Pearl Necklace: A timeless and sophisticated choice, featuring lustrous pearls. Pearl necklaces (often favoured for formal occasions) come in various lengths and colours, from classic white to trendy black.
• Shaker Necklace: A playful and eye-catching necklace featuring delicate chains with charms or beads that move freely, creating a gentle tinkling sound. Shaker necklaces add a touch of whimsy to any outfit.
• Statement Necklace: A bold and dramatic piece designed to be the focal point of your look. Statement necklaces can be large, colourful, or feature unique textures and materials. They are ideal for adding personality to a simple outfit.
• Chain Necklace (Womens Chain Necklace & Womens Silver Chain Necklace): A simple and elegant option, featuring a single chain without a pendant. Chain necklaces come in various thicknesses and materials like gold, silver, rose gold, and even platinum. They can be worn alone for a minimalist look or layered with other necklaces.
• Drop Necklace: Similar to a pendant necklace, but with a longer chain that allows the pendant to "drop" lower on the chest. Drop necklaces are often delicate and feminine, ideal for highlighting a neckline.
• Choker Necklace: A short necklace that sits high on the neck. Chokers come in various materials and styles, from delicate to bold. They can add a touch of edge to an outfit.
• Locket Necklace: A sentimental piece featuring a compartment that holds a photograph or memento. Lockets come in various shapes and sizes and can be a cherished gift.
• Birthstone Necklace: A personalised necklace featuring a gemstone representing the wearer's birth month. Birthstone necklaces are a thoughtful and meaningful gift.
• Diamond Necklace (Womens Diamond Necklace): The epitome of luxury and elegance, featuring sparkling diamonds. Diamond necklaces come in a variety of styles, from classic solitaires to intricate designs.
• Snake Chain: A sleek and elegant chain style with smooth, interlocking links that resemble a snake's body. Snake chains are available in various thicknesses and materials.

What finishes do necklaces come in?

At Rackhams, you'll find necklaces in a variety of finishes, including the most popular: gold, silver, rose gold, gold-plated and platinum.

We also offer fashion pieces in other finishes like brass and stainless steel. Consider the occasion, your personal style, and other jewellery you typically wear when choosing a finish.

How to choose the right necklace?

• Consider the Occasion: A delicate pendant necklace might be perfect for everyday wear, while a bold statement necklace is ideal for a special event.
• Match Your Neckline: Certain necklace styles complement specific necklines. For example, a choker necklace can accentuate a boatneck top, while a longer pendant necklace flatters a V-neck dress.
• Think About Proportion: Balance the scale of your necklace with your body type. Petite women might prefer delicate necklaces, while taller women can rock statement pieces.
• Personal Style: Don't be afraid to experiment and choose a necklace that reflects your unique personality.

How to care for your necklace?

• Store your necklace in a cool, dry place when not wearing it.
• Regularly clean your necklace with a soft polishing cloth.
• Avoid exposing your necklace to harsh chemicals like chlorine or perfume.
