Necklaces and Pendants

A necklace sits closest to the heart, which is why the right one so often becomes the piece you never take off. From fine gold chains to South Sea pearls and diamond pendants, necklaces for women from Leskes Jewellers are made for layering or wearing alone. Choose a length that suits your neckline, or create a pendant around a stone that means something to you.

      Necklace Length and Pendant Style Guide

      Length changes how a necklace sits and how it frames your face. A 40cm chain rests at the collarbone and suits open necklines and delicate pendants, while 45cm is the most popular length, falling just below it. Chains of 50cm to 60cm drop to the neckline of most tops and pair well with larger pendants, and longer styles work beautifully over higher or structured necklines. Match the pendant to the chain too. A small pendant looks best on a finer chain, while a bolder piece needs a slightly heavier chain to hang well.

      FAQs

      What is the meaning of a necklace?

      A necklace can hold personal meaning, from a treasured gift or family heirloom to a piece that celebrates a milestone. Pendants can add even more significance, representing initials, birthstones, symbols, diamonds or gemstones. Whether sentimental or simply beautiful, a necklace can become a piece you wear and treasure for years.

      How do you layer or stack necklaces?

      Layering necklaces works best when you start with one piece you love and build around it with different lengths and pendant sizes. Combining shorter and longer chains keeps each piece visible, and mixing yellow, white and rose gold is part of the fun.

      What are classic styles of necklaces?

      Classic necklace styles include fine gold chains, diamond pendants, pearl necklaces and elegant gemstone pendants. A delicate chain can be worn every day, while a diamond or gemstone pendant adds a touch of luxury and layers beautifully with other pieces.

      How do you pick the right size for a necklace?

      The right necklace length depends on your personal style, neckline and the look you want to create. Shorter lengths sit closer to the collarbone, while longer necklaces create a more relaxed look. Consider the size of the pendant too—a larger pendant may suit a longer chain, while delicate pendants can work beautifully on shorter lengths.

      How do I choose the right necklace for me?

      Start by considering your personal style, lifestyle and how you plan to wear the necklace. Think about your preferred metal, chain length, pendant size and whether you want something subtle or statement-making. Your existing jewellery can also provide inspiration. At Leskes, we can help you find a necklace that feels uniquely yours.

      What necklaces go with different types of clothing?

      Fine, delicate necklaces work beautifully with casual tops and everyday outfits, while statement necklaces lift a simple dress or evening look. Yellow gold adds warmth and white gold creates a cooler, contemporary feel, so let your clothing colours guide the metal.
