Necklaces and Pendants

Sometimes, you may notice that the necklace clasp is in a different position than when you first put it on, getting from the back to the front. This happens when the clasp is heavier than the chain itself.

If this is a persistent issue for you, we recommend getting a heavier chain where the weight is more balanced and/or a more substantial pendant to hold the chain down. Alternatively, you can consider getting a pendant that weighs at least half of the chain itself to act as a counterweight.

When it comes to necklaces, the length matters because it determines where it will lie and whether it will fit well with the neckline of your chosen outfit.

A princess length refers to necklaces that are approximately 46cm and hangs over the collarbones. This is the most common length for necklaces. It works well with almost every outfit, hence, this is the perfect necklace length for many girls.

51cm to 61cm is known as the matinee length, with the necklace falling between the collarbone and bust. This is best suited for business or casual wear.

In general, pendants look best near the collarbone, so we pair most of our pendants with chains that are approximately 40cm in length. Single chains, on the other hand, tend to look better when they are a little longer.

You can always reach out to our Live Chat to find out more information on styling your necklaces. Alternatively, you can also head down to any of our stores in Singapore to try on the various necklace lengths before making a purchase.

If you are going for the trend of wearing more than one necklace, it’s important to have a good necklace stack. It is recommended to wear necklaces that lie at least 1-2cm apart from each other.

Do make sure that all your layers are short enough to show over the top of your outfit or long enough to lie over the neckline. Otherwise, the necklaces may end up hidden behind the line of your collar.

It’s also best to keep the necklaces to a maximum of three. Too many of them may bring down your overall look and style.
