Women’s fashion: Silver chains Video Guide

Classic white silver jewellery is particularly suitable for women with a light skin tone and blond or red hair. It nestles itself simply and elegantly around the neck and accentuates tanned skin in an elegant way. Longer models set accents on a beautiful décolleté or stand out attractively from dark top fabrics. Due to its unobtrusive charisma and versatile processing, the classic silver is just as suitable for a casual leisure outfit as for a conservative business look.

Silver chains in bicolor combine white silver with yellowish gold tones or delicate rosé gold. This not only brings more variety to the look, but is especially true for women with a dark complexion and brunette or black hair colour. The exciting contrast between cold and warm material colours brings out the advantages of both precious metals. Many silver necklaces are only complete with a pendant. Whether simple cross, friendship pendant or luck symbol – the selection is almost overwhelming, so that the right one can be found for every occasion and taste. Coloured jewellery or precious stones, matt shining pearls or even diamonds can also be perfectly combined with silver chains to form an ensemble. And if real diamonds are too expensive, zirconia or Swarovski stones sparkle almost as beautifully

The length is decisive for the optimal effect of a silver chain. The rule of thumb applies: The larger the carrier, the longer the chain should be. The reason for this is the optical effect – while a chain that is too short quickly looks lost to tall people, chains that are too long also compress straps that have grown too small. But of course the ideal chain length always depends on the outfit.

Are you unsure which chain length is right for you? The easiest way to determine your desired length is to measure an existing chain. For this, open the silver chain and lay out the piece of jewellery lengthwise. Now use a tape measure to determine the length from closure to eye. If you do not have a pattern chain at hand, measure your collar width and add at least 8 to 10 centimeters to determine the minimum chain length. Note that a chain with a thick neck is different from a chain with a thin neck – you should therefore choose a chain a few centimetres longer for safety

Men’s necklaces are available in different standard lengths. Also men should consider collar size and body size when choosing the right silver chain. For smaller men with small collar width a silver chain with a maximum of 45 cm is completely sufficient. The standard length of silver necklaces for men is 50 cm. These models are most commonly worn and usually reach up to the base of the neck. For unbuttoned shirts or shirts with V-neck longer chains are also available. Chains from 60 cm in length down to the breastbone should only be worn by tall men for optimum effect.

Because silver chains knot easily, it is best to store them hanging or separately in separate jewelry compartments. If you want to prevent them from tarnishing, you can store them in an airtight case together with a piece of chalk. Silver jewellery can be treated with a special cleaner. Toothpaste, denture cleaner or soaking with aluminium foil and salt in warm water are popular household cleaning agents.
