15 Types of Necklaces and How to Style Them
Introduction
There’s something incredibly special about necklaces. They always feel like they’re filled with love, perhaps because they’re worn so close to the heart or because they’re often gifts from loved ones. For me, an outfit isn’t complete without the perfect necklace to complement my look. Do you feel the same?
The Significance of Necklaces
I’ve realized necklaces often hold special meanings. Whether it’s a gift from someone special, a purchase to mark an important life event, or a memento from a special occasion, necklaces can represent cherished memories and milestones. For instance, a necklace from a graduation, a new baby, or even one worn on your wedding day carries immense sentimental value.
Personal Connections
Having a necklace that completes your outfit every day is a joy. Each piece can remind you of a favorite memory, a loved one, or even an important resolution, like my Word of The Year necklace, which boosts my confidence every time I wear it. Necklaces can showcase your personality, story, or values, and personalized pieces, like my Jumble of Love necklace with charms for each of my boys, often draw compliments and spark conversations.
