Necklace

A necklace, worn around the neck, could be made using diamonds, pearls, gold, silver or any other metal or gems. Necklaces could also be made using a cloth, wood or shells. They are often attached with a pendant or locket. Necklaces that are worn high on the neck are known as choker. The choker may have either one or a number of bands circling the neck. Chokers come in a range of materials like beads, velvet, leather and metal. They could also be adorned with sequins and studs sporting many colours and shapes. Some of the different types of necklaces available today include pearl necklace, princess necklace, matinee necklace, opera necklace, sautoir or rope necklace and bib necklace.

Amongst necklaces, particularly popular are diamond necklaces. These generally make extensive use of diamonds or come with a diamond pendant. Diamond necklaces may or may not include other precious stones like sapphire, emerald, ruby, etc. Diamond necklaces that have a single diamond are known as solitaire diamond necklaces. New and used necklaces made of silver, gold, diamond, pearl and antique necklaces can be found on many online shopping portals.
