Silver Pendant Necklaces and Gemstone Necklaces for Women at Zesoul

The best necklace is the one you put on in the morning and forget about until someone compliments it. That usually means something light, simple and comfortable that goes with most of what you own, such as a thin silver chain with a small pendant.

Then you need one or two pieces with more personality. A gemstone pendant in a colour you love, a bold collar for evenings or a pearl pendant for dressier days. Having both ends of that range means you are never stuck deciding what to wear.

Silver is the easiest metal to wear. It suits cool skin tones, goes with jeans and with black dresses and does not look like it is trying too hard. Sterling silver marked 925 contains 92.5 percent pure silver mixed with other metals for strength, which is the standard for good silver jewellery. For more pieces, browse our 925 silver jewellery collection.

Moissanite is a real gemstone with strong sparkle and good durability, and it is a popular alternative to diamond. The elegant moissanite pendant necklace on an S925 silver clavicle chain and the karat moissanite pendant necklace are simple, clean and made for daily wear. They give you the look of a diamond pendant at a much lower price, though they are not mined diamonds. Check each product page for the stone and size.

The infinite pendant 925 sterling silver diamante necklace is a good choice if you like an infinity necklace, with a flowing shape and a touch of sparkle. The S925 sterling silver floral pendant necklace and the rotatable 925 silver snowflake necklace are lighter and simpler, and they work well for layering or as a gift.

If you like a pendant with a bit of meaning, the dainty 925 sterling silver natural gemstone compass necklace is a minimalist lucky charm, and the 925 sterling silver plated white chalcedony moon necklace has a soft floral and moon design. These are small, pretty pieces that suit everyday outfits.

Gemstones add colour and personality in a way that metal alone cannot. Each stone has its own mood, so it helps to know what you are choosing.

Amethyst is a rich, calm purple that looks lovely against silver. The luxurious S925 pure silver natural gemstone amethyst pendant has a vintage pattern and comes on a long sweater chain, which makes it a statement piece for knitwear and layered outfits. It sits at the higher end of the collection, so check the product page for the stone details and chain length.

Green gemstones are among the most popular in jewellery. The emerald green gemstone pendant necklace in 925 silver with an 18K platinum plated finish and the 925 silver clavicle necklace with a green chalcedony agate emerald style pendant give you that deep green at an affordable price. These use stones described as emerald style or green chalcedony, so read the product description to see exactly which stone you are buying. The luxurious emerald bridal jewellery set pairs a teardrop gemstone necklace with matching drop earrings.

The handcrafted rough tourmaline pendant in 925 sterling silver has a raw, natural look, and the natural black onyx protection necklace has an organic textured pendant with a handmade feel. The white chalcedony moon necklace is softer and paler. Rough and natural stones vary from piece to piece, so no two pendants look exactly the same.

If you are looking for a sapphire necklace, take a look at the premium sapphire jewellery set, which pairs a sparkling necklace with matching earrings for parties and events. For other stones, check the product details on each pendant, since the stones used differ from style to style.

A pearl necklace is soft, classic and easy to wear. It looks good with a plain shirt and a dress alike, and it suits almost any age. The 925 sterling silver simulated pearl pendant necklace comes on a long chain, which gives it a relaxed, modern feel, and the handcrafted pearl flower jewellery set pairs a floral pendant with stud earrings and genuine tourmaline. The simulated pearl is an imitation, as the product title says, so it costs less than a natural or cultured pearl. For more pearl pieces, see our pearl jewellery collection.

Pearls dislike perfume and hairspray, so put your necklace on last.

Gold looks warm and polished, and platinum plating gives a bright, cool finish. A quick note on what that means here. Gold plated means a thin layer of gold over another metal, and 18K gold plated means that layer is 18 karat gold. Platinum plated works the same way. None of these are solid gold or solid platinum, which is why they cost much less.

The hip hop lightning 18K gold plated pendant necklace with micro pave zircon is a bold statement piece, and the cat's eye gemstone 18K gold plated set pairs a round clavicle necklace with earrings. The emerald green pendant mentioned above uses an 18K platinum plated finish over 925 silver. If you are searching for a gold pendant or a platinum necklace, these plated pieces give you the look at a fraction of the price.

A clavicle necklace sits just at the collarbone, which makes it one of the easiest lengths to wear. The clavicle chain necklace for women is a minimalist short chain that works on its own or under a pendant, and the gemstone clavicle necklace and earrings set adds colour. If you like a snug fit, the colourful gemstone choker necklace in stainless steel with a geometric pendant sits closer to the neck.

If you are looking for a cross necklace, the elegant cross ornament set pairs a matching necklace and earrings. We do not currently have a large range of standalone cross pendants, so check the product page for the details of this set.

For pendants with a spiritual meaning, the seven archangels gemstone pendant necklace, the natural crystal seven chakra pendant necklace and the natural black onyx protection necklace are popular choices. They work as gifts and as personal pieces that carry some meaning.

Some necklaces are meant to be noticed. The hip hop colourful gemstone necklace is bold and bright, the multicolour African collar necklace is a short statement choker and the vintage bohemian jewellery set pairs a statement necklace with drop earrings. For something quieter, the real dandelion flower pendant in glass, the mandala flower glass pendant and the unisex horse pendant on a gemstone sweater chain have a handmade, nature inspired look. The vintage style lady necklace adds a retro portrait pendant for people who love unusual pieces.

A big part of this collection is jewellery sets, which save you the effort of matching pieces yourself. The 2 piece crystal jewellery collection, the gold plated crystal 3 piece set, the sunflower cubic zirconia set and the premium semi precious stone 4 piece set are all ready to wear straight from the box. Sets also make easy gifts, since everything already goes together.

Length changes how a necklace sits and what it goes with. A choker sits at the base of the neck and suits open necklines and off the shoulder tops. A clavicle chain sits at the collarbone and works with almost everything. A princess length, around 18 inches, falls just below the collarbone and suits round and V necks. Longer chains, such as a sweater chain, hang on the chest and look good over knitwear and shirts.

As a simple rule, match the shape of the necklace to your neckline. A V neck suits a pendant that points down, a crew neck suits a longer chain, and a high neck suits a long pendant that sits on top.

Layering is easy if you vary the length. Start with a short chain at the collarbone, add a medium pendant a few inches lower and finish with a longer chain if you like. Keep the metals consistent, or mix gold and silver on purpose and repeat both somewhere else in your outfit. Leave at least two inches between chains so they do not tangle, and keep one piece as the focus.

A little care keeps necklaces looking bright. Take them off before showering, swimming and exercising, since water, sweat and soap wear down plated finishes and dull stones. Put them on after perfume and hairspray, and wipe them with a soft dry cloth when you take them off.

Store each necklace separately in a pouch or a lined box, and fasten the clasp so the chain does not tangle. Silver tarnishes slowly, and a soft cloth is usually enough to bring the shine back. Keep pearls and softer stones away from hard knocks.
