How to choose a necklace that emphasizes your uniqueness

From delicate, elegant lines to striking solitaire pieces with diamonds, necklaces can be jewellery, art and collectibles all at the same time.

The right necklace will complement your outfit, and say a lot about your personality and style. In the luxury segment, you will come across masterpieces made of the finest materials and set with precious stones. Choose the right one.

The choice of material determines the character of the necklace

When choosing a luxury necklace, the material is a crucial factor that affects not only the look, but also the value and durability of the jewellery. In the luxury segment, you will mainly encounter gold necklaces.

• Yellow gold in 14 or 18 carat purity offers a warm, timeless look that flatters all skin types. Its rich hue creates a wonderful contrast, especially with darker garments, and stands out on evening occasions.
• White gold will appeal to lovers of modern aesthetics. This alloy of gold and white metals is electroplated with rhodium, giving it a characteristic silver sheen and exceptional durability. White gold is an ideal choice for diamond necklaces as it emphasises their purity and sparkle.
• Rose gold brings a romantic touch to the world of necklaces. Its soft pink hue is created by adding copper to the gold alloy and has enjoyed a strong renaissance in recent years. It is the perfect choice for women who appreciate sophisticated tenderness and are not afraid to be a little different.

How to choose the right necklace length

The length of a necklace fundamentally affects its appearance and the way it complements your outfit and face type.

• A choker (35-40 cm) is worn tightly around the neck and creates a dramatic effect. This length is ideal for evening occasions and will stand out especially with necklaces with bold stones or design elements. The choker visually lengthens the neck and suits dresses with a wide neckline.
• Princess (42-48 cm) is one of the most versatile. The necklace in this length ends just below the collarbones and flatters most types of necklines. It is an ideal choice for everyday wear and formal occasions.
• The matinee (50-60 cm) allows the necklace to rest at breast level. This length is practical for layering with other jewellery and suits necklines of all types. Bold necklaces with large stones in this length look sophisticated and elegant.
• Opera (70-90 cm) creates a dramatic effect suitable for evening events. Long necklaces can be worn individually to create an elegant line, or doubled for a richer look.

Types of necklaces by design and style

• Pearl necklaces

Pearls are a symbol of elegance and femininity. Luxury pearl necklaces are distinguished by the use of pearls of the highest quality. These natural gems are characterized by their perfect round shape, deep luster and uniform size.
Pearl necklaces are an investment that will pay off for a lifetime. A classic white pearl necklace belongs in every elegant woman's jewellery box .

• Necklaces with diamonds

Diamond necklaces represent the pinnacle of luxury jewellery. Solitaire necklaces with a single central diamond are a symbol of pure elegance, while rivier diam onds - continuous rows of diamonds - create dazzling sparkle along the entire length of the necklace.
When choosing a diamond necklace, it is important to consider the 4C's - carat (size), clarity, colour and cut. The highest quality diamonds feature a perfect brilliant cut that maximizes their ability to reflect light.

• Designer necklaces

For women who value originality, prestigious brands offer artistically crafted necklaces inspired by nature, architecture or abstract motifs. These unique pieces often combine different materials and processing techniques.
Necklaces with floral, animal or geometric motifs are popular and can be set with coloured gemstones such as sapphires, emeralds, rubies or aquamarines.

Jewellery that will last for generations

Luxury necklaces from prestigious brands represent an investment that pays off not only aesthetically, but often financially as well. High-quality jewellery made of precious metals and with precious stones retains its value and can become a family heirloom over time .
When buying a luxury necklace, don't forget to check the quality certificates of the precious stones and the guarantee of the authenticity of the materials. Prestigious jewellery houses provide a lifetime guarantee on their products.
