Unique Necklaces Are Dramatic

Natural orchid leather long flower necklace, 'Exotic Strawberry Bloom'
Unique necklaces can expresses YOUR fashion essence. This is a wardrobe investment that earns interest for years to come.

A necklace is dramatic way to update one's wardrobe and detract the eye from noticing older women's clothes or figure flaws.

Handcrafted, chunky, and unique necklaces remain a strong fashion trend.

Some blouses are incorporating the necklace trend into jewels or metal trim around necklines or down the front.

Here are some tips for purchasing unique necklaces.

  • Buy long strands that trail down the front of your chest if you have a short, stocky neck. A choker is not for you.

  • If you have chicken skin on the neckline, a longer necklace that draws the eye down is most flattering. Alternatively, wear a scarf with the short necklace strand layered outside.

  • A choker or short necklace that encircles the throat draws attention to a slender neck and beautiful skin.

Earthy Turquoise for Hecate
Goddess of Crossroads and Magic

Turquoise waterfall necklace, 'Ode to Nature'

This turquoise waterfall necklace is named "Ode to Nature." It is handcrafted in India and designed by Neeru Goel.

It is a stunning stand-out among unique necklaces.

The Hecate archetype, gardener of herbs and scents, resonates with leafy motif of this creation.

>How to select a necklace. The weight of the accessory should complement the weight of other garments you are wearing. Do not wear dark onyx in a heavy silver setting with a gauzy, white summer shirt. A very delicate necklace will not look good with a heavy sweater or bulky wool jacket.

Sophisticated Pearl & Garnet

Pearl and garnet necklace, 'Caviar'

Zeus cast aside his first queen, Metis, for Hera. Then he ate her, so that he could absorb the wisdom of this sophisticate who had helped him with the corporate take-over from the older gods of ancient Greece.

Novica compares the pendant to a cluster of caviar eggs. Deep colored garnets contrast with the small cultured pearls. Like so many unique necklaces, this one is crafted in Thailand.

Hestia, Domestic Diva

Moonstone pendant necklace, 'Sea Blossom'

Moonstones and a seashell pendant pay homage to Hestia.

As though born in the sea, a beautiful blossom appears in the center of a scallop shell. Created from sterling silver, the pendant centers a strand of moonstone spheres. This luminous design comes from Thai jeweler Somluck Komolmith, who crafts the choker by hand.

From a Customer Review of Somluck Komolmith:

I received my "Sunrise" jade and agate choker from Novica today and am very pleased with the necklace. It's very beautifully made, Somluck's craftsmanship is very refined and I'm very happy with it.

Drama in Green Transforms Old to New
