Classic Necklace Styles for Fashion Mavens
Article by Bradley Smet




Everyone knows at least one serious fashionista. You might not be into fashion and style all that much for yourself, but chances are, you know at least one girl who would rather go hungry than go without her subscription to Vogue, who has too many pairs of shoes to count, the girl whose closet is overflowing with "nothing to wear." She's the girl who always wears heels to the office and only owns one pair of sneakers - the ones she wears to the gym. She's the girl who has an entire jewelry box chock full of earrings, necklaces and rings. The girl who probably has a different scarf for every day of the year. The fashionista means business. She's a Carrie Bradshaw in training, a style star just waiting to be spotted, and chances are, with the holidays coming up, she's quite difficult to shop for. How do you impress the girl who has it all, or at least, has enough taste to discern what is worth purchasing and what isn't? Read on for some ideas on how to purchase necklaces for the fashion maven in your life - without that horrible promise that she'll definitely be re-gifting your present.A six strand gemstone necklace is a great statement piece, offering bold, saturated color with a rhodium plated sterling silver base. This necklace is full of lovely, real gemstones that sparkle in the light - they come in your choice of red agate, gorgeous brown/orange tiger's eye and amethyst. Consider this necklace in a friend or girlfriend's birth stone, and it will remind them of the celebration and significance each time they put it on! This piece looks great with a low cut blouse - it's not a dangling necklace, nor does it clasp as tight as a choker; instead, it's somewhere in between, making at a great statement piece with just about any neckline besides a halter. For the girl who already has it all, consider a vintage-inspired sterling silver and Baltic amber, tiger eye and orange sapphire drop pendant necklace. This necklace looks like an antique, with its polished rhodium plated sterling silver and palladium with small touches of 18 karat yellow vermeil. The real show stopper of the piece of jewelry comes thanks to its pear shaped Baltic amber cabochon, as well as one round shaped smaller Baltic amber cabochon and a tiger eye cabochon and a tiny round cut of orange sapphire. These gemstones together with the sterling silver create a gorgeous, eye-catching piece of jewelry that looks rare, expensive and positively exquisite!Another great option for a woman who loves a vintage look is a multi-gem necklace. This gorgeous piece features polished sterling silver and palladium with 18 karat yellow gold vermeil, as well as a drop shaped multi-colored cabochon that dangles in the center. This piece looks a bit like the costume jewelry of years gone by - it's the kind of piece that will be passed down from generation to generation, carrying with it the history of the girl who wore it previously. As these stones are all natural, you'll have to allow for variations, but that just makes it all the better, as each piece is just as individual as the woman who wears it!If you're looking for something that is simple, eye-catching and perfect for the more mature fashion maven (here's looking at you, Mom!), consider a regal yellow gold necklace with a center faceted cut piece of amethyst or citrine. This gorgeous necklace is 14 karat yellow gold, and more important, it's created by the electroform technique, which is used by talented jewelers around the world to create hollow pieces of gold jewelry. This means that the necklace, and other pieces like it, are weightless when they could easily be extremely heavy. It's this process, which is time-consuming and very expensive, that makes the necklaces wearable. This necklace is at once trendy/modern and exquisitely classic - it's totally timeless, making it a great potential heirloom purchase.Every fashionable girl appreciates a long, fun gold chain necklace - and there are plenty that fit the bill. Consider one with five polished chains, in varying choices of gold-tone, silver-tone or rose-tone, combined to create this young, hip and fun look! Each 53 inch box chain is interspersed with delicate circles in various sizes, making for a piece with a great deal of movement. Best of all, the different portions of this necklace come apart, meaning you can wear them all at once for a bold look or just one at a time for a look that's more delicate. As you can see, regardless of your budget, or your own personal tastes, there are plenty of necklace choices out there that are perfect for your fashion maven. Whether it's mom you're looking to surprise or a best friend in need of a pick me up, you're sure to find a piece that works for you. About the Author
