Talking about jewelry pieces, women never run out of them, their wardrobes are always loaded with plenty of jewelry pieces contrasting their outfits and necklaces are one of them. These jewelry pieces enhance your attire and give maintain beauty all day long.

Necklaces are said to be in existence since most ancient civilizations as their origins are concluded to be 25000 years ago with their first ever discovery being made in a cave located in Monaco. These discovered necklaces were created from fish bones. But in these latest times, these jewelry pieces are not made from fish bones anymore because necklaces are being created from many different materials with different designs.

A Brief History of Necklaces

As we discussed previously, the oldest necklaces were made from fish bones but as time flew the raw materials for creating these necklaces also changed and the necklaces were made from natural shells, stones, and teeth of dead animals. These raw materials, later on, were substituted with pearls, beads, gemstones, etc. Beads made from glass and polished pottery were used by the ancient Egyptians to create the beads.

After many decades these jewelry designs witnessed modifications and the pendant was invented. Within a very short period of time, the pendant became very popular among the Egyptians followed by the Romans and Greeks as well. The popularity of pendants increased so much that it was even considered a protective charm against evil for the wearer.

Necklaces again witnessed a popularity-gaining phase when they started to become a sign of wealthy social status. But soon after holding the popularity status for such a long time, the popularity started diminishing because of lace collars and high-neck clothes. 

Now that we have examined the short description and history of the necklaces let us now examine how to style them according to your outfit’s neckline.

  • Crew Neckline

  • This crew neckline is also known as a bib collar neckline because of its round and closed-neck-fitting neckline. As this neckline is not completely closed neckline it has a small empty area for your neck to be visible. To fill this gap you can wear a jewelry piece with a tabular pendant design at the center, or you can also experiment with another styling tip of stacking up some chains.
