If you want to rock a diamond necklace, you're going to need to master the art of wearing a diamond necklace. There are so many ways to wear a diamond necklace, you should never feel limited in your style choices. Whether you are going for a simple elegant look or opting for a dressy sparkly number, you will always be on-trend and never out of style.
The most important thing you need to know about wearing a diamond necklace is this: there is no single 'right' way. When it comes to wearing jewellery, there are no hard and fast rules. Your personal preferences will be the determining factor as to whether or not it's right for you.
I've been wearing diamonds for more than twenty years and I can't imagine my life without them. I've created a set of guidelines that can help you make the most of your necklaces.
Wear your necklace to show you have good taste
In the 1960s, sociologists conducted a study where they asked subjects to rate the attractiveness of women who wore a necklace compared to those who did not. The necklace was described as being made of glass. The women who wore the necklace were rated as more attractive than those who did not wear it. The same experiment has been replicated many times since then. The most important factor is the "cuff" effect. When you look at a person wearing a necklace, you subconsciously assume that they have good taste which most people find to be an attractive attribute.
Wear your necklace high above the collarbone
This might seem a little unusual; by wearing your necklace high above the collarbone, you will subconsciously force your chest forward creating a more open posture. A simple way to ensure this posture is to make sure that you are standing in front of a mirror with your neck facing the mirror and your head slightly tilted to the side. You can also wear a choker to help with this posture.
In addition, this is a great look when wearing a necklace at work. It works well with a blouse buttoned up high and calls attention to your neckline and face. The diamonds will add just the right touch of sparkle to your appearance.

Your diamond necklace should be a focal point of your outfit.
The first principle of wearing any necklace, not just a diamond necklace, is making your necklace a focal point. A big necklace can overwhelm a simple outfit, but a small one can make you look too cluttered. If you're wearing a jacket or shirt, the necklace should complement it, not compete with it. Don't worry, when you get it right, everyone will see it!
For the most part, people tend to notice jewellery before looking at other items in a woman's ensemble. If you want to make sure you're attracting attention, it's best to wear a necklace that stands out. This doesn't mean you should go gaudy, but it does mean you shouldn't wear the same type of piece every day.
When you wear a diamond necklace, don't forget to accessorise.
Don't forget the accessories. Diamonds, while beautiful, are not a fashion statement. They're a lifestyle statement. To really make a diamond look amazing, you need to pair it with the right accessories. Accessories can either go with your diamond and help make it more meaningful, or they can just be another accessory in a sea of other diamonds.
The most important thing to remember is that you should never forget about your accessories when you wear a diamond necklace. The diamonds themselves are only half of the picture. A well-accessorised diamond necklace will truly make a statement. The best way to show off your diamonds is to wear them with your best outfits. A good rule of thumb is to wear your most elegant jewellery on your best days. If you're wearing everyday clothes, don't wear a heavy necklace or too much jewellery.
If you decide to wear two or more necklaces, make sure they look different.
What's the point of wearing two or more necklaces if they look identical? As mentioned earlier, the more things you have in your outfit, the less attention you draw. If two necklaces look the same, they'll attract the same amount of attention as if they were just a single piece.
Necklaces are the easiest way to amp up your fashion game. They look great and are super affordable. But if you plan on wearing two or more, it's essential to make sure they look different. One of the simplest ways to accomplish this is to choose a necklace from different colours, shapes, or materials. It's also vital that each necklace is unique.

Wearing your necklace with a low-cut top
A general principle with jewellery is to make it easy to spot, and don't wear it with tight, low-cut, or shiny clothes. In general, the more visible the necklace, the more people will take note of it. When you have something on your body, you're drawing attention to yourself. Obviously, wearing a low-cut top is not appropriate in all circumstances. Still, there are other guidelines to cover those situations
A necklace that lies low on your chest line will call attention to your cleavage. While you probably do not want to overdo it, a necklace that falls just above the cleavage can look very sexy and show that you have a good degree of self-confidence. The odd thing is that if we look confident in our appearance, we tend to feel more confident.
Pair your necklace with a bold eye look for maximum effect.
When you are wearing a necklace, you want to draw attention to it and make it really pop. To achieve this, pair your accessory with some bold and striking makeup. Your necklace is the outfit's focal point and will steal the show when you wear it with dark eyes.
The effect goes both ways; your necklace will also call attention to your face and its focal point, your eyes.
Wear your necklace with everything—as a statement necklace, as an accessory and more
You can wear any statement necklace with your ensemble, or you can make the statement with your other accessories. As we just mentioned, diamond necklaces are a great way to add a pop of colour, statement, personality and fun to your outfit. You can choose from many different styles and materials and use them to set the tone for your look. If you want to make a statement with your accessories, you need to choose something unique and will make people take notice. Choose a colourful accessory or accessory with a unique shape or pattern that stands out.
Again, choose your necklace and its style to match your mood and the environment. Your necklaces are a part of the messaging that you send out with your outfit and body language. Well-chosen necklaces are a potent form of non-vocal messaging.

Most people use necklaces to show off their personalities and express their individuality. The more unique the design, the more fun and interesting the necklace. When selecting a necklace for a particular outfit, think about how your necklace will contrast with what you're wearing. If you don't feel comfortable leaving your collar open, a nice, elegant choker might be a good alternative. When shopping for a necklace, look for colours that complement your skin tone, and make sure the necklace is comfortable enough to wear with a shirt. Check out our collection of necklaces here.

Enjoy wearing your diamond necklace!
We're often told to "enjoy wearing your diamond necklace", but we rarely get the opportunity to make the best of it. A diamond necklace is a status symbol, and it can make us feel good about ourselves. The people around us will respond positively toward us when they see that we are confident and have a positive mood.
But if you don't wear your diamond necklace all the time, then the benefits you get from it won't be as much. And if you do wear your diamond necklace all the time, then it might get in the way of other things you want to do or need to do. So perhaps the best thing to do is have several necklaces - not all of them with diamonds. Mix up your diamonds with gold chains in different styles, and then you can layer them to create a wider variety of looks.
It may be that some of the points made above are not entirely 'politically correct.' Most of us do not want to be thought of in that way - not all the time.
The important takeaway here is that necklaces, with or without precious stones, are fun; they make us feel good, make us look more beautiful, and help us enjoy our lives more. All of those are good things; political correctness be damned!
We have a wide range of diamond necklace designs, some with other precious stones such as emeralds, rubies and sapphires. All our jewellery is created by British designers and handcrafted in the UK. Our designs will enable you to choose exactly the right piece of jewellery for every occasion. When used together, carefully selected jewellery can create impressive looks that sets you apart from most women.
