Tips For Choosing Beautiful Handmade Necklaces

By Stephanie Cox


Most people have jewelry lying around in their drawers. Some of these items may have been selected for you, while you may have bought others yourself. The next time you want to buy yourself or a friend something nice, consider getting beautiful handmade necklaces. These trinkets not only support local entrepreneurs but are also made to suit you or the person you are buying wearer.

Necklaces come in many categories based on their length. They range from chokers which are about fourteen inches, to lariats, which are over thirty inches and can be draped around the neck a number on times. The materials used to make these items can range from lace to metal. Therefore, to choose the right piece, you need to look at some factors.

Most clothes and accessories are either made for men or women although some can be worn by either gender. When buying for yourself, this will not be problematic, but for other people, you have to think about their physical traits, their sex being one of them. You can be a bit adventurous when buying for women since most of them have versatile wardrobes. With men, however, choose things that will not be too loud.

Consider the personal style of the wearer. This prevents you from buying something covered in gemstones for a casual dresser. In case you are buying them for yourself, determine to which occasion you will wear the necklace. To be on the safe side, pick something versatile which can be worn with any outfit, and to for any occasion be it to work or for a party.

Most people are not very concerned with knowing whether they have warm or cool toned skin. You should be able to tell where you fall by comparing how you look in both gold and silver jewelry and then choosing the one that falters you most. It is also advisable not to choose items with pendants, or gemstones that clash with your eyes or hair. This is especially necessary if either feature is a conspicuous color.

Allergies or even your beliefs may make it difficult for you to wear certain things. With handmade items, you can inquire about the particular materials used in the making of each piece, for you to eliminate any that may irritate your skin. You can choose to conduct a metal allergy test beforehand, but to make things easier stick to metal based items made from the purest quality.

The price of the necklace you choose will depend on the amount detail involved in the making the item, as well as the material used. If you want something made with precious metals or stones, avoid buying from street vendors because it will be difficult to ascertain its quality. Typically, these items may be a bit more expensive, because of the labor involved. The price will even be higher if you want something custom made.

There are some jewelry makers who will offer you excellent services and good quality items, based in Kansas. Look out for stores that not only sell jewelry but also appraise precious stones, and fix damaged necklaces. Places like these are less likely to peddle knockoffs, and in case your clasp breaks or some of the crystals fall off, they can replace them for you.
