A women's necklace can look more appealing online than it does in real life. A necklace that's too short may sit differently than you expected, a coating can wear away more quickly when exposed to perfume, and a “pearl” may turn out to be imitation. Comparing your options carefully can help you avoid disappointment and choose a necklace that suits your style and how you plan to wear it.
A pendant can look large in a photo, even if it's only a few millimetres across in real life. Always check the chain length, the pendant's dimensions and the weight. A 40 cm necklace will sit higher on your neck than an adjustable chain measuring 41 to 48 cm.
When buying a pearl necklace, check the stated material. The range includes products described as “pearl” as well as styles explicitly labelled imitation pearl. This affects the appearance, care requirements and price. So don't be swayed by words such as “luxury” or “classic” alone.
For example, a silver necklace may have a plating or other surface treatment. Perfume, sweat, swimming pool water and cleaning products can damage the surface. If you're buying a pendant necklace, check the base material, finish and care instructions before placing your order.
First, choose a material that suits how you plan to wear your necklace:
The word “hypoallergenic” in a product name isn't a substitute for full information about the alloy, coating or possible allergens. If you have a reaction to jewellery, it's worth reading the material specifications and product information carefully.
An adjustable necklace is handy if you want to wear it with different necklines. A length of around 40 cm will usually sit higher around the neck. Styles measuring approximately 43 to 45 cm often sit lower, for example over a blouse or a fine-knit jumper.
Also check:
Jewellery will generally last longer if you keep it clean and dry. Put your necklace on after applying make-up, skincare and perfume. Avoid swimming, showering, hot springs, seawater and contact with cleaning products.
After wearing it, gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth. Don't use an ultrasonic cleaner or strong acidic or alkaline products on pearls. Store each piece of jewellery separately in a sealed pouch or jewellery box to help prevent scratches and friction.

We've put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Lengths of around 40 to 45 cm are often practical for everyday wear. An adjustable necklace offers more flexibility. Always check the measurements for the specific style, as the shape of the pendant and the clasp can affect where it sits.
It depends on the material, coating and how you wear it. Perfume, moisture, sweat and cleaning products can speed up discolouration or wear. Store the necklace in a dry place, wipe it after wearing and don't wear it while swimming, showering or exercising.
The price depends on factors including the material, pendant, finish and type of bead or stone. So compare more than just the prices: consider the length, material, clasp, care instructions and information about the seller responsible for the product. That way, you can choose a versatile necklace that better suits your budget and how you plan to wear it.
