Neck chains make the perfect accessories for people of all ages. Chains are some of the oldest accessories in the world. Gold and silver chains are common elements in the treasure hoards unearthed by archeologists and many of the oldest paintings and sculptures known to man show their subjects wearing gold chains.
In the modern world, neck chains are some of the most versatile of accessories, and can be worn with practical any outfit. Whether you opt for a thin gold chain(In Danish guldkæde) or a complex tiered set, chain necklaces offer a range of styles and designs to fit any style aesthetic.
Silver chains(In Danish sølv kæder) for example, are a popular choice with young women, especially when adorned with beads or semi precious stones. Birthday add-a-pearl chain necklaces are one such design. These necklaces are made of silver or gold chains threaded with pearls. The number of pearls is equal to the age of the wearer with an extra pearl added on each successive birthday. These sweet, meaningful chains make the perfect ‘first jewelry’ gift for teenage girls.
One of the best things about chain necklaces is that they can easily be customized using various pendants. This makes them affordable jewelry choices for young women. Rather than buying multiple pieces of expensive jewelry, all a young woman needs is a single chain which she can then tailor using a number of pretty and inexpensive pendants to fit every occasion.
These days, many women are also experimenting with wearing chains around their waist. Navel or waist chains have been a traditional jewelry design with all societies and many of the medieval paintings of nobility show the ladies as wearing thin chains of gold or silver as girdles.
These chains were also popular in eastern countries as well as in Africa, where they were seen as an important piece of adornment for both men and women.
Today though, waist chains are mostly worn by women. They are a great way to draw attention to a slim waist or to the curve of the hips and add cachet to even the plainest of jeans. Next time you go clubbing, drape a chain loosely around your waist so that it follows the natural line of your navel so as to give a sensual twist to your outfit. You are sure to hear plenty of complements.
