Diamond Necklace

If you are going to a stylish or formal event, the ultimate accessory is a diamond necklace. To quote Marilyn Monroe, diamonds are a “girl’s best friend”. She may have meant that she was interested in the monetary value of the necklace, but there is more to it than that. A diamond makes a woman sparkley on the outside as well as increasing her inner beauty. For men, giving a diamond necklace to the woman you love means a lot because you know how happy it will make her. Bear in mind that such a necklace will only be worn for specific events, so there is no need to think of a necklace as a practical purchase, as it is most likely that it will be taken off at the end of an event and stored away in a safe. If you are considering buying a necklace, whether for yourself or as a gift, you may wonder which type you should wear?

The ultimate necklace is the one that holds the Hope Diamond, the world famous blue diamond. This diamond is set in a necklace studded with diamonds itself. No one wears the Hope Diamond, of course, but it can be visited at the Smithsonian Museum. However, it does show that even with the world’s biggest “pendant”, the necklace should also still be encrusted with diamonds. A full necklace is also more suited for very formal affairs, whereas a diamond pendant (whereby the chain of the necklace is plain gold or silver or any other precious metal) goes better with semi formal events.

There are certain situations where a diamond pendant will suffice, particularly if the pendant is very big. A diamond necklace with a very large pendant, particularly one on a long chain, can be the ultimate accessory, depending mainly on what clothes she will be wearing for the specific event.

A choker necklace is one that hugs the neck, whereas a full length necklace hangs down the chest in varying lengths. A choker is particularly fitting for someone with a long neck, which will accentuate this feature even further. For those with a short neck, a choker can still be exquisite, but should be as thin as possible. Of course, the neck can be made to look longer by putting the hair up.

Taller people are able to wear both long or short diamond necklaces. A choker will take the emphasis of the length of a person and accentuate the neckline, drawing attention to the face. Shorter and more voluptuous women are more suited to a full length diamond necklace. Another great benefit of a full length necklace is that it draws attention away from any skin imperfections such as wrinkles.

The length and shape of a diamond necklace will also have an effect on accentuating or elongating a woman’s overall facial shape. If a choker is worn by someone with a round face, the roundness will be accentuated. A longer necklace, however, will elongate the facial shape. Oval-face women, however, can wear any necklace and make it look elegant.

As you can see, a diamond necklace is the ultimate accessory. It also makes the perfect gift. From the information above, you should be able to choose the right necklace for yourself or your wife or girlfriend. Pay attention to her overall height, neck length and her overall facial shape. If you hope to surprise her with a necklace for a specific event, try to find out what dress she will be wearing, to make sure that the necklace will fit her overall look as well. For example, if she is wearing a black velvet dress and is putting her hair up, a choker would be the perfect accessory. For a dress that has a plunging decollete, a long necklace with a beautiful diamond pendant will accentuate her breast line.

Offering a diamond necklace as a gift will certainly make your wife or girlfriend incredibly happy, but showing that you have used care and attention in choosing the right necklace will make her even happier!
