Oh, what a thrill it is to hunt down that perfect women’s necklace in gold! This is similar to searching for buried gold, but your style guide will lead you instead of the map. The perfect piece may seem impossible to find, but your neck might deserve nothing less than brilliance. Additional info about the different styles of 18K gold necklaces is available here.
First of all, you should consider the occasion. Do you wish to make a statement at a black-tie occasion? You can also use it to add a little flair to your brunch outfit. Just like when choosing a wine for dinner, you don’t choose a Cabernet to accompany your morning toast. You should also consider when and where you plan to show off your newfound gold.
We will now explore the budget side. Gold can be just as versatile and funky as a playlist for a Yoga teacher, but it is important to know what you are willing to spend. It’s not necessary to open up your piggybank. However, you don’t wish to have MS Paint instead of the Mona Lisa. Be sure to consider all options before you commit. A dollar could save you another one for a later dazzling purchase!
Design is the main attraction in the necklace display. Your gold necklace should seem to wrap around your throat like magic. There’s the classic elegance and then there are the avant-garde styles which make you stare at them with wonder. Bold or delicate, long or shorter–each necklace is different, and each piece has a story.
Are you more an artisanal enthusiast? Handcrafted treasures provide an individual touch; they have a charm you won’t get from mass-produced trinkets. Like wearing a handshake secret that only a handful of people have. Find these items by visiting local artisans and markets.
We must not forget our own taste. Oh, darling. Your necklace should speak secrets only you know. If you want to find a necklace that speaks to you, look for designs, textures or etchings. This is like picking a new pet. It’s not about choosing one–it’s about the animal choosing you back.
Authenticity is also worth exploring. Authenticity is key. Beware those who will tell tall tales thicker that pea soup, to pass sparkling imitations off as the real stuff. Search for hallmarks to ensure that your treasure is not a pirate conundrum.
Get hands-on. Chains pendants chokers – they beg to tried on. This is a tango of your skin against the metal. You won’t be able to tell how they feel unless they rest against you. The metal and your skin will dance together in harmony. Choose a piece which dances to your rhythm.
Consider going online if you are part of the couch-climbing community. Although you may not be able to physically feel the sensation, many websites offer close-ups and detailed pictures that can tell a story without talking. Read reviews to see what other treasure hunter’s have discovered.
Remember, gold is not a transaction that you can rush into. Trust your instincts. When it’s the right piece, you will hear your heart calling out. It’s like when you fall in love.
That’s it, fellow treasure hunter. Your quest for an enchanting necklace — wittiness, smarts and a heart resonating with gold. Now sparkle!
