    • Necklaces as decorative costume jewellery: a dazzling variety

    Necklaces are among the oldest pieces of jewellery in human history and still enjoy unbroken popularity today. They are not only an expression of personality and style, but also important accessories that can enhance and complete an outfit. As decorative costume jewellery, necklaces offer an almost endless variety of shapes, materials and designs to suit every taste and occasion.

    Materials and workmanship

    The range of materials used for necklaces is enormous. From precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum to more affordable alternatives such as stainless steel, brass or copper - there is something for every budget. Natural materials such as wood, shells, stones, glass and even bone or horn are also used in the manufacture of necklaces. The different materials can be worked individually or in combination to create unique pieces of jewellery.

    Designs and styles

    Necklaces come in countless designs and styles, which can vary depending on fashion and cultural background. Some of the most popular styles are:

    • minimalist: simple, filigree necklaces with small pendants or geometric shapes are timeless and go with almost any outfit. They are particularly suitable for everyday wear or work, as they are not too overbearing.
    • statement necklaces: Striking, opulent necklaces with large pendants or eye-catching designs are made to be the centre of attention. They can enhance a simple outfit and are particularly suitable for special occasions or festive events.
    • vintage: Vintage style necklaces are characterised by their nostalgic look and romantic elements. They can be delicate and playful or opulent and ostentatious and are perfect for lovers of bygone eras.
    • ethnic: Necklaces with ethnic patterns, materials or symbols reflect the cultural diversity of our world. They are often colourful and detailed in design and are suitable for anyone who wants to emphasise their individual style.
    • Layering: Wearing multiple necklaces in different lengths and styles is a popular trend that creates a casual, individual look. Both delicate and eye-catching necklaces can be combined.

    Care and storage

    To preserve the beauty and shine of necklaces, regular care is essential. Depending on the material, different care products and methods should be used. Precious metals, for example, can be cleaned with special polishing cloths or jewellery cleaners.
