Dress up a gold necklace

Sometimes we like to dress up some of our plain jewellery.

A gold necklace chain can have a pendant added for example, but what if you would like a necklace to be worn alone and still show some individuality? Normally the clasp sits at the top of a necklace behind your head and isn't seen. An alternative to this could be changing the clasp for a Kartier, or heavy bolt ring, clasp and wearing it at the front.

This looks especially good on a heavier gold necklace for both men and women. You could instead decide upon a fob that was matched to the thickness of your gold chain. It is quite a common practice to have a heart shaped padlock on a bracelet, but these plain or filigree style locks look really good on a gold necklace as well. This give you another way of wearing a simple necklace chain that will be different from most other peoples chains.
