Necklaces

A necklace chain that is secure is essential in ensuring a beautiful, worry-free piece of jewellery. Fortunately, there are several simple solutions to make sure your chain is securely fastened. One option is to replace the clasps with a lobster claw closure or a box clasp, as they are easiest to open and close but offer a strong hold when secure. You can also solder jump rings onto the ends of your chain for an extra sturdy link. If you're worried about tampering, opt for a jewellery adhesive to keep each link in place – just be sure to use a quality product for longer lasting protection. Whether you’re using classic accessories or modern techniques, making your necklace chain more secure will help keep it looking great for years to come.

Storing necklaces correctly is key to keeping them in top condition. To begin, make sure all pieces are neatly coiled or draped when storing necklaces and avoid having the chains tangled together. Additionally, long necklaces should be stored flat or on a bust form so they don't become knotted while in storage. If your necklaces feature stones or metal components, consider investing in a soft cloth pouch to keep away dust and dirt particles that may accumulate over time. Lastly, use jewellery boxes with compartments or necklace stands specifically designed for jewellery to ensure items are stored optimally and safely.

When it comes to accessorising your look, layering necklaces can be a great way to express your personality and turn an ordinary outfit into something extraordinary. The key to successful necklace layering is finding the right pieces that complement each other in proportions, colour, length and texture. Start by picking a focal point such as a statement piece with bold colours or design. Then, choose one or two delicate necklaces with similar tones for contrast, and you can even add charm pieces for a charming finish. Before wearing your layered result, consider balancing the lengths so they aren’t awkwardly asymmetrical or all lumped at one end of your chest.
