How to choose a symbolic necklace

A symbolic necklace is not just an accessory. It's a statement, a reminder, sometimes a talisman. Here's how to choose the right one to truly make it yours.

 

Start with meaning. What do you want this necklace to represent? A commitment to yourself, a symbol of your femininity, a reminder of your strength, a tribute to something you hold dear? Personal symbolism trumps universal symbolism — an object that is meaningful only to you often has more value than a conventional symbol.

 

Consider visibility. Do you want a discreet pendant that isn't necessarily noticed, or a piece that attracts attention and sparks conversation? A choker-length symbol blends effortlessly into your daily life; a more imposing piece becomes a statement in itself.

 

Choose your metal based on your style and skin. Silver harmonizes with cool tones and contemporary looks; gold-plated brass brings warmth and character. If your skin has warm undertones, gold or gold-plated brass will often suit you better.

 

Think about chain length. A pendant worn at the throat is intimate and visible; longer, it descends towards the décolletage and takes on a more sensual aspect.
