How to make your gold necklace stand out?
A gold necklace not only accentuates your style but also adds a final touch of glamour to your outfit.
To make your gold-plated necklace truly special, dare to combine it creatively. We recommend playing with different types of gold, whether it’s yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold. This mix of materials and colors will not only highlight your personality but also add that touch of originality you’re looking for.
Gold-plated necklaces don’t follow seasons or trends. Your golden necklace can make an excellent match with any silver accessory, whether it’s the silver-plated Dita Earrings or the Roma Bracelet made with links.
Contrary to what many may think, gold plated necklaces are versatile and easy to wear, whether their design is bold, discreet, youthful, or classic.
Gold necklace: long or short?
The length of your gold necklace will influence the type of clothing you choose to wear.
If you wear a 45 cm long necklace, the best choice is a blouse with a classic neckline. On the other hand, if you prefer high-neck or turtleneck sweaters in a solid color, consider pairing them with long necklaces as they elegantly elongate the figure.
However, these types of necklines also pair well with chokers or short gold necklaces.
In the case of V-necklines, the ideal choice is to wear shorter necklaces, princess necklaces, or chokers. This ensures that you highlight your neckline, creating a harmonious ensemble.
The origin of gold necklaces
Gold necklaces are among the oldest and most popular jewels globally, with archaeological excavations revealing them across the planet for thousands of years.
It’s believed that the first necklaces, made from teeth, bones, and shells, date back 75,000 years. The first gold necklace emerged during the Bronze Age, around 5,000 years ago.
These necklaces served both as adornments and carried symbolic meanings. Shell necklaces were associated with fertility and abundance, while those crafted from animal teeth were linked to virility and strength.
Gold’s durability and malleability quickly made it the preferred material for necklace craftsmanship.
Gold was discovered in streams and rivers in the form of nuggets, and as technology advanced, humans learned to extract gold from minerals.
Golden necklaces were worn for various reasons. In some cultures, they were believed to possess healing and magical powers, while in others, they served as symbols of power and wealth.
Necklaces in antiquity
Gold necklaces have always been highly esteemed in ancient civilizations. For instance, in Egypt, the nobility and pharaohs adorned themselves with intricately designed gold necklaces featuring precious stones and other materials.
Egyptian necklaces essentially served as talismans for protection against spirits and for establishing a connection with divine power and gods. They were often adorned with religious symbols, such as the Eye of Horus or the sacred scarab beetle.
In religious rituals, priests and priestesses used necklaces as symbols of wealth and social status. The craftsmanship of that era produced jewelry that still captivates us today with its beauty and sophistication, marking the fascinating evolution of gold necklaces throughout history.
In Ancient Greece, necklaces were symbols of wealth and power. Greek necklaces were crafted from solid gold and adorned with precious stones. Women wore necklaces as symbols of femininity and beauty, whether made of gold, silver, other metals, with or without precious stones. Men also wore necklaces but to a lesser extent.
In Ancient Rome, necklaces were made of gold, decorated with gems and coins, serving as symbols of authority and power. Gladiators and other soldiers also adorned themselves with necklaces.
