The same or different? Do you know the difference between the two? For better or worse, which is your go to and why?
Originally both a necklace and a pendant are incredible pieces that come in such a wide variety of styles. More and more as designers become more experimental with trends. There will always be a necklace or pendant built for the occasion.
Spot the difference
A necklace and pendant can both be worn around your neck but the differentiation between the two is the small pendant at the end of the necklace. Usually a pendant is a small heart shaped diamond with a white gold setting. To add some fun and versatility to a pendant is that it can be interchangeable to attach to an anklet or any part of your body with a chain.
The different types of necklaces
A necklace can come in many shapes, sizes, colours and designs. They have the ability to make or break an outfit. They can pull it together or throw all your hard work away, or maybe in other cases a necklace is your saving grace to an outfit. Okay, let’s list off all the different types of necklaces that you can have.
Choker
This is a popular design that tends to sit above the collarbones. Some people even prefer to finish the look with a gemstone to enhance the look.
Cascading necklace
This kind of style is truly magnificent because it tends to feature a gemstone to tie the whole outfit together. Common pieces worn with this style are strapless dresses and anything with a high neckline.
Single strand necklace
This can come in many lengths and is commonly seen with diamonds or pearls.
Princess length necklace
After a necklace that’s not too long and not too short? A princess necklace is going to be a staple in your jewelry box! It hangs just below your collarbone.
Opera length necklace
Much like the name hints this type of necklace is a very dramatic styled piece. A statement piece if you will. It is long and hangs extremely low down over a dress or blouse.
Solitaire diamond necklace
If you are looking for something more stylish this type of necklace tends to be more sophisticated and features a singular round cut diamond that sits on a beautiful chain.
