Keeping several tips in mind can help while you’re trying to find the best necklace for you. 

• Consider your style. Do you want to stick to your usual style, such as romantic, or opt for something different, like preppy? The style you’re going for can significantly influence your decision.
• Factor in allergies. Being allergic to specific metals will take many necklace options out of contention. 
• Reflect on your preferences. Gold, silver or another material? Statement necklaces or thin and dainty? Pendant necklace or simple chain? Knowing what you typically prefer can help you narrow down your choices.
• Think about necklines. They’re an important factor if you’re buying the necklace intending to wear it with one or more specific outfits. For example, let’s say you’re wearing a V-neck dress. A pendant necklace will beautifully complement the neckline.  

Gold or Silver: Which One Suits Your Skin Tone

Some buy necklaces based on what best suits their skin tone. Silver necklaces are typically ideal for cool undertones, and gold usually pairs well with warm undertones.

How to Keep Your Necklaces Clean

Keeping necklaces clean is important, especially considering dead skin cells, sunscreen, lotion, perfume and other materials can build up on them. You don’t need anything fancy to keep them clean. Mix warm water and mild dish soap and gently scrub the necklace with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Dry it flat on a microfiber towel. 

If you wear certain necklaces daily, it can be beneficial to clean them once or twice a week to prevent buildup. Clean pieces every 6 months that you wear occasionally. Contact Augustine Jewelry if you have questions about the best methods of cleaning specific pieces.
