What size chain should I get for a pendant necklace?

When it comes to wearing classic silver necklaces, lockets or a chain and pendant set - the length of the chain completely depends on your personal style. A long chain can give a boost to your outfit and attract more attention to pendants, while a short chain creates a more minimalist look. 

Multilayered chains are a great way to add a bold, impactful aesthetic and allow you to wear several pendants. You could match your pendants for balance or opt for a few different charms with mixed metals like sterling silver and rose gold.

Can any pendant go on any chain?

Consider several factors when selecting a pendant for your chain - firstly you need to achieve weight balance - heavy pendants may require a stronger and thicker chain that can manage it's weight while lighter pendants may be overshadowed if the chain is too thick or bulky - so it's better to go for a slender chain. 

Different pendants look better with different chains - for example traditional pendant necklace designs with intricate patterns pair great with classic chains like wheat or rope for a more vintage look. On the other hand a more subtle pendant may work better with simple, sleek types like snake and box chains that complement the modern style. 

Coordinating materials and colors is also important - you may prefer to match your metals such as by pairing a gold pendant with a gold chain or mix them up for a trendier vibe - like pairing a sterling silver chain with a rose gold pendant.

What is a locket pendant necklace for?

A locket pendant necklace is perfect for connecting with loved ones and holding onto cherished memories. Across history, lockets were worn as a family crest or talisman to help identify which family someone belonged to. 

In the 16th century, lockets were typically hand painted and had the family crest engraved on the surface. They were the height of fashion during Queen Victoria's reign, and even today they are loved by many as a timeless fashion piece and a way to keep memories close to our chests.
