Jewelry 101

I thought I'd start a series of blogs focused on jewelry basics.  I'll call it Jewelry 101, 102, and so on.  The former college student came out...sorry.  For today, I thought of explaining the different names and sizes of necklaces.  However, QVC has a  way better site that explains it all perfectly.  Click here to view.  Pay attention, because there will be a quiz tomorrow....just kidding.  The nice and versatile truth about necklaces is that they flatter both short or long necks (no, I'm not talking about dinosaurs).  Go ahead and take a look in the mirror and see if your neck in long or short, I'm sure you are curious now...........(pause)...... Welcome back.  

If you tend to favor wearing a particular neckline more than others, then check the guide to find out what type of necklace will work more often for you.  If you are not used to accessorizing this next tip might encourage you.  Purchase a necklace that works well with most of your tops. This will increase the chances of you wearing it, because you know it compliments most of your tops.  It also saves you money, because you buy only what works for your predominant style.  For example, I tend to be a Tee- wearing lady, so I favor princess necklaces that fall just below the teeshirt  collar or the long opera necklace (that in my opinion elongate the torso and makes me look slimmer).  Now, if you're style is more dramatic and love jazzing it up, then buy all lengths.  You'll find a use for it.         Now, Have fun accessorizing.
