HOW TO CHOOSE A GOLD CHAIN

Before you invest in a gold chain, you must get down to the nitty-gritty of buying it. There are a lot of factors to be considered such as if the chain is solid gold, what karat is it and what kind of link the chain is made up of. Fraser Ross Gold chains come in a variety of styles, designs, and lengths and it can be a challenge to pick the perfect one. They can be worn with or without a pendant but before you buy a gold chain, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

KNOW WHAT YOU WANT

There are different types of chains available suitable for different purpose and personalities. Knowing what you want and how often you have to wear the gold chain will help you make the right decision. The most common type of gold chain is bead chain, box chain; cable chain, Figaro chain, rope chain, and snake chain. You can choose the one you like based on several factors including durability, affordability and amount of gold used.

STRENGTH OF CHAIN

If you intend to wear the gold chain daily, then you must look into how strong the chain is. Chains with link are the strongest such as cable, Figaro and anchor chain. This is because they are soldered individually and don’t have any bending point, which means they can withstand knotting, bending, twisting or folding. Even if the link breaks, link chins can be repaired easily.

KNOW THE MATERIAL

It is important to know the material that the gold chain is made of: solid gold, gold filled, gold plated and hollow gold chains. Solid gold can be made in 24 karats, 22K, 18K or 14K. Higher karats result in a weaker chain that can be broken easily and lower karat chains do not have the best gold colour. Hollow chains have a hollow tube-like space inside. The reason for this is to reduce the quantity of gold used inside which is why it is less expensive and lighter than solid gold chains. Out of these, the solid gold chain is the best option to buy as it will not only be durable but will also never lose its value. But if you are on a budget, then you must go for hollow gold chains that have more resale value than the gold filled and gold plated ones.

EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF GOLD

Gold is an expensive and in-demand metal which is why there are people will try to out-smart you by selling fake gold. The trick is to know the required information beforehand and not fall for these traps. You should know how to identify if a gold chain is fake or real.

There is a tiny engraving on the surface of the gold jewellery known as the Hallmark. This will indicate the purity of the gold used. All reputable gold chain manufacturers will always include a Hallmark on their chain. Porcelain test determines if the material used is fake or not by rubbing it on an unglazed porcelain tile. Another way the authenticity of the product can be checked is through Magnets. There is no such thing as magnetic gold. If the gold is attracted to a magnet, it means that the ornament has iron or nickel in it. You can also go with Acid test and Appraisal which is a sure shot way to check for the quality of your gold but it may also be expensive.

CHAIN THICKNESS

Gold chains can be thick or thin according to their use and not only to serve an aesthetic purpose. If you want your gold chain for a pendant,  you must consider the size of the pendant. Make sure the chain has the strength to hold the pendant. Women with long hair avoid wearing gold chains because they feel smaller, thinner chains can easily tangle in the hair. So people with long hair should opt for thick chains.

LENGTH OF CHAIN

Too long of a chain will get tangled in hair, buttons or just cause mere inconvenience, while too short can stick to your neck or choke you. Chains with a length of 14 to 22 inches are the common ones for regular wear. Shorter chains are good for regular use but you have to make some room for movement of the chain otherwise, it can leave marks on your skin. Longer chains are best for when you plan to head out, usually to an outdoor event or party.

INSPECT THE CLASP

When deciding on which chain to buy, you must pay heed to the clasp. Ensure that the gold chain has a clasp that closes well is not easy to break. The lobster clasp is one of the best choices. It is solid and does not open easily if your chain is pulled harder. Avoid going for ring clasp which is spring-loaded, for they are cheaper and less durable than lobster clasps.

CHOOSING KARATS

When choosing karats, you will have to remember, the purer the gold, the weaker it will be. If you plan to use your chain regularly you should skip 22Kt or 20Kt gold instead should buy 10Kt or 14Kt chains, which are harder and do not break easily because they contain a higher percentage of non-gold alloys. Before buying a low Karat gold chain, make sure you are not allergic to nickel. Many low karat chains contain this metal to make it inexpensive and harder, resulting in a durable chain.

KNOW YOUR STYLE

Your style preference will decide what chain to buy. If you like an elegant look and classy designs, you may choose a thin, delicate chain with a simple dainty pendant to go with it to create a minimalistic look. If you are someone who would like to make a statement and turn heads with your accessories, then an eye-catching larger chain will do the job for you. If you can pull it off, you must flaunt it!

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT EARRINGS FOR YOUR HAIRSTYLE

Accessories help define an individual by showing their personal style and preferences. No matter how beautifully one dresses up, without accessory no look can be complete. One such piece of accessory is earrings, which is simple yet quintessential for women. The choice of earrings plays a game-changing role in any appearance. This is because earrings not only draw attention to the face but they should also go with the hairstyle. It’s a science in itself to choose the perfect earrings that go with the dress and works in coherence with the hairstyle to create a look that is on point and Fraser Ross is here to help you find the perfect jewellery.

Generally, accessorizing with earrings is dependent on the shape of the face, length of neck and the hairstyle. In a nutshell, the choice of earrings to not compete with the face shape and hairstyle, it should rather compliment to give a totally flawless look. Below is a list of hairstyles and the matching earrings that will go with it

HAIR LET DOWN

For women who let their hair down and with long tresses, the best choice is to go for a pair of studs. Hair down is a distraction itself for anyone to notice your earrings. To make it look extraordinary, you can choose studs in the form of single gemstones such as black onyx, which will easily draw attention. Multiple piercing can create a soft look; by wearing small delicate studs one can carry the hairdo elegantly. Hair let down should not restrict your choice of earrings to studs only. You can also aim for lively colourful tasselled earrings to look classy.

UP-DO OR HIGH BUN

When hair is worn up or in a bun, there is ample of space available from the ears to shoulders to flaunt your choice of earrings. An up-do or high bun is a sophisticated hairstyle. Long, thin and delicate dangling is a perfect choice for this kind of hairstyle. A simple yet bold dangling will work just fine even if the frame of the face is surrounded by loose strands of hair, but it’s better if you chose a smaller size in this case. Another option for this kind of hairstyle is the hoop.

SHORTHAIR AND PIXIE

Women with short hair may feel they don’t have hair to experiment with hairstyles but little do they know, they have earrings to accessorize short hair for any event.

With a short haircut, the ear has more visibility than ever; women can go with ear jackets and cuffs. Ear crawlers will also make the hairstyle look edgy and classic. Single colour earring cuffs should be the go-to choice here as they make the short haircut look regal. Also, diamond and crystal cuffs make one look glamorous.

For short hair, massive bulky earrings should be avoided and. You should also keep in mind the time of day, the colour of your hair and the look you are trying to achieve with the haircut. Flashy and bold earrings are for the evening while keeping it simple during the daytime.

PONYTAILS

If ponytail is high then giant statement earrings will look great. Hoops are and ear cuffs are another choice for a high ponytail. With a low ponytail, one can always be laidback with their choice of earrings. A single pair of large studs, or multiple delicate small studs or snugly fit hoop earrings could be the choice. These looks will make you feminine but definitely not casual or underdressed.

CURLY HAIR

The choice of earrings for curly hair is a tricky thing. This is because the earrings can get stuck in the hair and the hair has some great movement which makes it difficult for the studs to get noticed. The ideal choice of earrings for curly hair is the hoop earrings which creates a bold statement look and does not tangle in the curly hair. For hoop earrings, one can choose from a variety of sizes and textures.

HALF UP-DO

Nothing can make women look more elegant than a perfect pair of delicate pair of strand earrings; especially if it complements the long neck. This hairdo is meant for long hair. With this hairstyle, keep the strand earring simple to give yourself a feminine look. Your best bet could be diamond studs or single gemstones such as pearls. Your hairstyle should do the talking while your earrings should take a back seat with half up-do.

SIDE SWEPT HAIR

It’s a party hairdo and with it, you just need something simple yet chic. The perfect piece to go with this will be pendant drop earrings. They will make you look elegant and lady-like.

Side swept hair gives you the liberty to wear the earrings matching or contrasting to your dress. Drop earrings that are too long should be avoided with this hairstyle as it will make the face long much elongated.

SHOULDER LENGTH HAIR

With shoulder length hair, women have a defined outline across their shoulders which make it an excellent reference point to decide the length and size of earrings. The ideal choice of earrings can be colourful but should not go past the shoulder-length. Statement earrings and chandelier style earrings will look flawless with shoulder length hair. In short, any earrings that fill the space created by your hair, around your face create will look fabulous.

To pull off a great look, it is important to match your hairstyle to your earrings. The right earrings and hairstyle can be a real game changer. Having said this, if you do have a pair of earring that you love, don’t let your hairstyle keep you from wearing it. After all, it’s the personal style and confidence that will make heads turn in your direction.
