And that hasn't changed to this day, this piece of jewelry is and remains the icing on the cake. I'm sure you'll take one last look in the mirror before you leave the apartment and check your outfit. If you then have the feeling that the finishing touch, that certain something, is still missing, reach for chains.

The chains must match the outfit and the situation

It always depends on the outfit and occasion for which the piece of jewelry is worn, because these two points decide on the choice of model. There are completely uncomplicated necklaces that simply always shine and are the perfect companion for every day and every situation. For example, filigree classic link chains with a delicate pendant or simple pearl necklaces - you can't go wrong with these pieces. In the workplace, it is recommended to wear discreet yet timelessly elegant jewellery that matches business clothing. Ideally, even the color nuances are coordinated. Good taste in the choice of accessories leaves a valuable impression on the supervisor, because in this way you look solid and reliable, at the same time charming and self-confident. At Dinner for Two with your partner, it can be a little more and the jewelry sparkles in the candlelight with your shining eyes. Slightly thicker necklaces with colorful stones or rhinestone pendants are ideal here, which become a real eye-catcher on such evenings. At large events or one-off highlights in life - whether it's a glittering ball night or the celebration after graduation - it can also get pretentious, because big situations require big chains. Eye-catching necklaces and gold-plated jewelry with zirconia stones fit very well here. Stack a little lower with a pretty pearl necklace that stands for simple elegance and elitist taste. At parties, it can also be a little more unconventional, maybe you reach for feather headdresses, leather straps or models in a colorful ethnic style. For the perfect length of necklaces, the following applies: in the office rather short, in leisure time everything is allowed that pleases and fits the clothing style. The most popular measure has proven to be the length from 42 to 44 centimeters True jewelry lovers even take into account the time of year: for example, necklaces in a floral design are worn in spring, models with delicate, playful elements in summer, variants with colorful stones in autumn, and necklaces with pearls are more likely to be worn in winter.

What aspects should be considered when buying chains

Necklaces can only fully develop their effect when they fit the person, the outfit and the overall styling - only if the overall picture is right and everything is harmoniously coordinated, this piece of jewelry becomes a real eye-catcher. Therefore, if you choose a particular model among the numerous necklaces available, you should take into account some aspects when choosing. So it would be an advantage if the necklace also harmonizes with your other accessories, for example with bracelets, earrings and other gold or silver jewelry. In addition, it can also be matched to the watch, glasses or other things that complete a styling. It is equally important, in order to achieve a good effect, to pay attention to the proportions of the wearer in chains. Are you rather small and delicate? Then it's better not to wear clunky models, because they will visually push you to the ground. The same goes for a long, slender neck. However, if you are tall and strong, and your neck is a little shorter and more pronounced, then small delicate chains would "disappear" on you and not fully exert their effect. When it comes to the strength of the chains, the taste is decisive - the only thing to note: If the strap is too thin, a large pendant or charm could slip back and forth. As with all other products in our shop, the necklaces also undergo consistent quality control. Thus, we assure you of high-quality necklaces that leave nothing to be desired. Nevertheless, it can basically be said that the most stable pieces of jewelry currently on the market are king's chains and curb chains. The following applies: Specimens with robust and tightly intertwined links are more stable than filigree models.

The most important types of necklaces at a glance

It is not so easy to list all kinds of necklaces, as jewelry designers are always creating new creations - even the professionals find it difficult to keep track of them. But here are the most important models of necklaces at a glance:

1. Anchor chain

Stylistically modeled on the anchor chains of ships and boats, it consists of round links that interlock. Worn with or without a pendant, these necklaces are most likely to be paired with classically elegant outfits.

2. Pea chain

Pea chains have round links that interlock alternately vertically and horizontally. Simple and elegant, but also refined and unconventional, these necklaces with or without pendants ideally complement the chic and glamorous look.

3. Figaro chain

In this piece of jewelry, which is very well suited as a pendant chain, three round links are followed by an oval one, which is followed by three round links. Due to the elegant yet playful design, such necklaces are most likely to be worn with a discreet evening wear.

4. Herringbone chain

Here, the elements are triple intertwined and resemble herringbones. The classic necklace can be worn in everyday life as well as on special occasions and perfects every look.

5. King's Chain

6. Cord chain

This chain variant is characterized by an elaborate interweaving of the individual links, whereby the type of interweaving varies from model to model. Due to their sophisticated look, these necklaces are worn without pendants and work best with a simple business outfit or complete the elegant look.

The piece of jewellery impresses with its extravagant look and is therefore the perfect accessory for individual unconventional styling - for example with jeans, a T-shirt and biker jacket or a maxi dress in a boho look.

8. Curb chain

In this type of chain, the links are particularly flat and aligned horizontally so that they are as level as possible. Curb chains are real all-rounders and, with their subtle chic - depending on their thickness - fit almost any clothing style: thin to elegant or classically feminine, thick to glamorous or austere masculine.

9. Venetian Chain
