You should not wear a chic piece of jewelry to work, and against the background of a festive look, a modest small pendant can get lost.
How to choose?
- The choice of a pendant is directly related to the choice of a chain. A small pendant will look ridiculous on a thick massive chain, and a thin chain may not withstand a massive heavy jewelry. When choosing, try to maintain the optimal balance.
- When choosing a pendant, make sure it is of high quality. It should be free of jags and burrs that could scratch the décolleté area. Make sure the insert stones are secure and not wobbly.
- A pendant with jewelry enamel should have a smooth, uniform coating - no bald spots or spots.
- Choose a piece that matches your everyday style. Most often, girls choose classic or minimalism. The avant-garde will look appropriate on someone, fans of the boho style will like ethnicity.
What to wear with?
Miniature pendants will look great in business looks. Most often they are worn in the neckline of a blouse or jumper, but it is worth noting that this should be a very small neckline.Large pendants on a string or chain can be worn over clothing. They will decorate a plain sweater or turtleneck, enlivening and diversifying a boring look. For a coarse-knit sweater, a volumetric decoration is suitable, for example, in a geometric shape or in the ethno style, with inserts of gems or wooden elements.
Remember, the thinner the fabric, the smaller the pendant should be, and the more elegant the chain. This applies, for example, to a chiffon tunic or a high-cut silk top.
In general, there are no restrictions in the choice of clothing. As mentioned above, the style of the decoration you choose is important. A small, modest piece will even match a sports bow, and a massive pendant with a scattering of precious stones will complement a spectacular evening outfit.
