An elegant necklace can transform an outfit. But how do you choose the right length and style for a particular occasion?
A necklace is a piece of jewellery that takes centre stage - it frames the face, accentuates cleavage and can transform a simple outfit into an extraordinary one.
The shortest type of necklace that practically encircles the neck. This style is ideal for accentuating a long neck and creates a dramatic effect that immediately attracts attention. Choker necklaces are most often made of yellow or white gold, and can be set with diamonds embellished with fine pearls.
The most versatile length that flatters most neck and cleavage types. A necklace in this length rests just below the collarbones and is perfect for a wide range of outfits - from business attire to cocktail dresses.
Luxury princess length necklaces often combine different types of gemstones or feature sophisticated chain compositions in 18k gold. This length is also ideal for engagement and bridal jewellery.
A necklace in this length reaches approximately to the top of the chest and is a more elegant alternative for women who prefer less conspicuous jewellery. It is ideal for a business environment where you want to appear professional yet sophisticated.
Gold matinee length necklaces often include unique pendants or a central stone that becomes the center of attention (without being too flashy).
A dramatic length that reaches to the belly or even the waist. Long necklaces are synonymous with evening elegance and are particularly suited to formal occasions. They can be worn in one long line or doubled (to create a multi-layered effect).
In luxurious designs, they often contain precious pearls, long rows of diamonds or combinations of precious stones that create a fascinating play of light as they move.
For casual wear, delicate princess-length chain necklaces are ideal, as they won't get in the way while adding an elegant accent to your outfit. Opt for simple designs in 14 or 18k gold, complemented by a subtle pendant if required.
Pearl necklaces in classic lengths are a timeless choice that can match any style of dressing. High-quality pearls from cultured sources stand out for their natural lustre and add a sophisticated touch to any outfit.
In a professional environment, bet on gold necklaces that underline your competence without attracting too much attention. Matinee lengths with minimalist designs or delicate pearl necklaces are ideal.
Avoid overly prominent stones or long dangles that could distract from your professional qualities. Gold necklaces with clean lines always look authoritative and elegant.
For gala nights, premieres and important social events, you can reach for dramatic opera lengths or striking diamond-set chokers. These necklaces are designed to enchant and leave an unforgettable impression.
Combine different lengths to create a multi-layered effect - for example, a short choker with diamonds complemented by a longer necklace with a large central stone. This layering technique is popular with celebrities and fashion icons.
For romantic occasions, choose necklaces that accentuate femininity and tenderness. Delicate gold chains with heart-shaped pendants or princess-length necklaces with pearls are ideal.
Rose gold adds extra charm to romantic situations with its warm, gentle hue. Necklaces with opals or moonstones create a mysterious, dreamy effect.
Almost any length of necklace will work with this classic neckline. The most elegant are princess or matinee lengths, which create a harmonious line with the rounded shape of the neckline. Avoid chokers, which can visually widen the neck.
A pointed neckline requires a necklace that follows its line. Triangular pendants or necklaces with gradually shortening elements are ideal . The princess length is the safest choice here.
A wide, horizontal neckline requires a distinctive choker or short necklace to fill the space between the neckline and the neck. A pearl choker or necklace with a wide central element will perfectly complement this elegant type of neckline.
Bold choker necklaces or dramatic opera length necklaces are ideal for strapless dresses. Medium-length necklaces can look unbalanced, so lean towards the extremes - either very short or very long.
The choice of necklace material should match not only the occasion, but also the season and overall style of dress:
Choosing the ideal necklace requires not only knowing the rules, but also personal fitting and a sense of proportion. At the BENY boutiques in the centre of Prague, experienced jewellers will help you find a necklace for every occasion - day wear or gala evening.
