Necklaces

The two main categories of necklaces are, designer and fashion. Both categories are stylish, designer necklaces tend to focus more on metals, stones, and the craft of the jeweler. Fashion necklaces, on the other hand, are all about variety and style. Designer necklaces are more likely to become family heirlooms while their fashion counterparts are more fun to mix and match.

What You Should Know About Fashion Jewelry Necklaces

In the age of Instagram, necklaces have become vital accessories that complement photographs and easily become the center of attention. For Céline McArthur, a journalist and newscaster for a Vermont television station, a sterling silver necklace with pendant in the shape of a stylish sun became an unlikely personal fashion statement. As a TV broadcaster, McArthur is often loaned very expensive jewelry to wear on the air, but this particular fashion necklace, which she purchased for a very affordable price, turned out to be so popular that the word “necklace” now appears along with her name when you search on Google.

At Penelope, we know all about the unique power of necklaces and how they can accentuate beauty features or put the finishing touch on the apparel you select. Let’s review a few of the pieces we currently have in our selection.

Chunky Costume Jewelry Necklaces

There is a difference between chunky chains, which in hip-hop culture are called “ropes,” and chunky necklaces. A princess necklace can be chunky with stones, which for the most part will be fantasy, while a bib necklace can feature large gemstones. The choker necklace is intended to have an interesting design hugging the neck very closely.

The Multi-Stone with Tassel Necklace is the epitome of statement jewelry. You can wear this with a plain outfit and still make a statement. Accessorize your costume with it or wear it every day for an eclectic and fun look.

Fashion Statement Necklaces

These can be smaller, less playful, and thinner than chunky necklaces, but they can be very striking. In the past, these pieces were called matinee and opera necklaces, and they were exclusively made by jewelers with expensive metals and precious stones. Modern fashion statement necklaces are more likely to be of the fantasy kind; the focus is on the intricate designs and variety of colors.

The Gold Chain Necklace with Multicolor Drop is a playful yet elegant piece. An array of colors will dance on the surface of this multicolor three stone drop necklace, catching the light no matter which way you move.

Unique Fashion Necklaces

As their name suggests, these necklaces will sometime defy description, but they are not very thick and tend to call greater attention to the pendant design. These necklaces are among our most popular sellers, and they appeal to shoppers of all ages. One of the most interesting pieces in our stores is the multi-strand beaded pendant necklace, which happens to be very colorful and can be worn with casual clothing as well as more formal dresses in darker colors. Turquoise disc circles hanging from thin chains are also popular, and the same goes for ivory pearl necklaces that are coming back into fashion.
