Why do people wear coloured gemstone necklaces?
People wear coloured gemstone necklaces for their vibrant beauty and personal significance. Gemstones like sapphires, rubies, and emeralds add colour to an outfit and are often chosen for their symbolic meanings, such as love or strength. These necklaces allow individuals to express their style and personality, making them a meaningful and unique accessory.
Can I wear more than one gemstone necklace at a time?
Yes, you can absolutely wear more than one gemstone necklace at a time. Layering necklaces, whether they feature gemstones or not, is a popular trend that allows you to create a personalised and stylish look. When wearing multiple gemstone necklaces, consider mixing different lengths, colours, or types of gemstones to create contrast and balance. Just ensure the necklaces don’t tangle or overpower each other—layering can be both sophisticated and elegant when done thoughtfully.
How are coloured stones weighed?
Coloured stones are weighed in carats, with one carat equalling 0.2 grams. To ensure accurate measurement, specialised gem scales are used, designed to provide precise readings. These scales are highly sensitive and calibrated to deliver consistent results, making them essential for accurately valuing coloured gemstones.
How do I determine the right length for a coloured stone necklace?
To determine the right length for a coloured stone necklace, it’s important to consider both personal style and how you want the pendant to sit. The most popular length for women's necklaces is 16 inches, which typically rests just above the collarbone and suits most necklines. For a slightly more dramatic look, 18 inches is a versatile choice, resting at the collarbone or just below. Ultimately, the right length depends on your style preferences and how you envision the necklace complementing your wardrobe.
