How To Buy Beautiful Handmade Necklaces

By Stephanie Cox


Most people have jewelry lying around in their drawers. Some of these items may have been selected for you, while you may have bought others yourself. The next time you want to buy yourself or a friend something nice, consider getting beautiful handmade necklaces. These trinkets not only support local entrepreneurs but are also made to suit you or the person you are buying wearer.

Necklaces come in many categories based on their length. They range from chokers which are about fourteen inches, to lariats, which are over thirty inches and can be draped around the neck a number on times. The materials used to make these items can range from lace to metal. Therefore, to choose the right piece, you need to look at some factors.

Most clothes and accessories are either made for men or women although some can be worn by either gender. When buying for yourself, this will not be problematic, but for other people, you have to think about their physical traits, their sex being one of them. You can be a bit adventurous when buying for women since most of them have versatile wardrobes. With men, however, choose things that will not be too loud.

Most people have a habit of buying jewelry because it caught their eye. This is not bad until you realize that you cannot wear it with anything in your closet. In cases where you are getting something customized, the jeweler can focus on your personality and your appearance. However, if you are buying a finished product, ensure that what you buy is in line with your particular tastes.

You will find that you choose clothes based on things like skin tone, and body type. This should also apply when selecting necklaces. People with round and square faces should go for longer pieces, and those with heart and diamond shaped facial features should choose choker like accessories. Those with round faces, however, are lucky and can wear any necklaces of any length. Your skin tone will also determine which colors will be best suited for you.

Allergies or even your beliefs may make it difficult for you to wear certain things. With handmade items, you can inquire about the particular materials used in the making of each piece, for you to eliminate any that may irritate your skin. You can choose to conduct a metal allergy test beforehand, but to make things easier stick to metal based items made from the purest quality.

Things bought at the flea market will not cost the same as those bought at an upmarket shop. Therefore, keep in mind that although the material used will determine the price, so will the location of the jeweler. Most people avoid handmade items because they can sometimes be pricey. However, the quality of these pieces is usually higher, and the detailing may also be more precise.

If you live in Kansas, then you will find that there are some shops which stock these items. In some of them, you can even order for a whole set of bespoke matching items. In case you need repairs done on these necklaces, it is best to get them done at the same place you bought them.
