When it comes to jewelry, layering is a popular trend that has remained in style for years. Whether it's a necklace or multi-strand bracelet, the look of layers can provide a bold presence. If you're in the market for multi-strand jewelry, sterling silver remains one of the most affordable options for getting a beautiful design without breaking your budget.
In terms of jewelry, the term 'multi-strand' can be used to describe a variety of styles. The classic definition would be one that incorporates varying lengths to give the appearance of a layered look. For instance, a multi-strand necklace could feature a 16", 17" and 18" chain so as to give the illusion that three different necklaces are being worn when, in actuality, the wearer has only one. Depending on the style that you prefer, you can choose from a simple 2-3 strand necklace up to designs that feature 20 strands or more.
The 'bib' or 'drape' necklace, another popular term used to describe multi-strand jewelry, often features multiple smaller chains created to gracefully accent the neckline using a cascading combination of loops and drops. Because of the intricate styling and workmanship, these necklaces remain highly sought after and can easily be worn in a formal setting. At the same time, these popular styles can be worn casually with your favorite pair of jeans.
When choosing which type of multi-strand necklace to wear, a significant part of the deciding factors will be based on the shirt that is being worn. For instance, a turtleneck will typically require an 18" or longer necklace. An open neckline, such as that found on a v-neck, square neck or even a button-up shirt will accommodate any length of necklace that can be comfortably worn and easily seen.
In addition to necklaces, multi-strand designs are also a popular style in bracelets. The movement of flowing chains combined with the width created by using multiple strands will provide a flattering and bold look. Depending on the weight of the piece, it may be accented with an oversized spring-ring or even a toggle clasp. These accents are designed to be especially large to provide a focal point for a bracelet or necklace. In many cases, these findings are perfect for a larger multi-strand design.
If you are in the market for multi-strand jewelry, sterling silver can provide you with an impressive look at an affordable price. Because it ranges from 2.5 to 2.7 on the scale of hardness, it is stronger than some types of gold. As you can see, sterling silver is both durable and can allow for a larger jewelry collection at a more feasible cost.
When shopping for multi-strand jewelry online, look for a retailer who specializes in your precious metal of choice for the best selection. If sterling silver is your favorite, you may even be able to find additional styles that will catch your eye. And best of all, you won't have to spend a fortune to get an impressive jewelry collection, but it will certainly look as though you did.
