Quality gold necklaces and charms

Solid gold is the basis for some of the world's most beautiful jewellery. It stands to reason if you are going to create a stunning piece that requires great skill and hours of labour that you would work with the very best materials. For jewellery to stand the test of time it needs to meet a very high standard with regard to materials and it needs to be timeless. The more extravagant the design the less likely it will remain in vogue and the less opportunities there will be to flaunt it. A very simple, plain style of jewellery will always remain fashionable and will suit a wide variety of occasions and a range of fashions.

The best example is the extremely elegant yet very simple gold necklace chain in a curb, belcher or figaro design. These chains have changed little over hundreds of years and continue to enjoy and very high level of popularity. Worn alone or with a pendant they have a classical beauty that lends itself to adorning evening gowns as much as they do jeans and a t-shirt. The length of the necklace should suit the size of pendant attached, so that it sits at the correct height on the chest. The thickness of the chain should not distract from the pendant either, a very small delicate pendant demands a very fine necklace chain. This is especially true where gold charms have been chosen to be worn as pendants.

Curb chains are available in very fine widths and are very much suited to tiny pendants with diamonds or other gems where you wish the pendant to be the feature. With such fine chains, either the plain curb or a diamond cut curb can look great and should be chosen to compliment the charm or pendant attached.
