Options for an Amber Silver Necklace

There are a lot of different ways that you can put your own personal stamp on an amber silver necklace. These pieces are fairly inexpensive but the really interesting color and shapes make it look more expensive than it actually is. This is one of the more classic ways to wear the color orange. Often times these warm tones don't work with every kind of coloring. However, if you really want to look a little brighter or just feel different for different seasons then just try incorporating color into your jewelry. You can still fit it in with your design style.

This is a natural complement to the antique kind of setting. Just envision a amber and silver necklace with a lot of intricate scroll work and even marcasite details. This can really have a wow factor. It can even be appropriate for formal wear. The really great thing about this is that there's a juxtaposition. The setting is very elegant while the stone itself is more rustic.

It can also have kind of a Victorian feeling to it. You might find one with flower or fairy details on it. This can really give a whimsical sense of style to your wardrobe.

Another option would be to go with an amber bead necklace. You'll want to be aware that these pieces can be quite heavy so you might want to try them on and leave them on your neck for a little while before you buy it just to make sure that you can handle the weight. This is really going to give a very organic feeling. Then the beads can all be slightly deformed so each one has a very unique look. You could also go with round beads to give a totally different look to a silhouette that is basically just used for pearl necklaces or costume jewelry.

You will want to pay attention to the clasp. This is a very small detail but whether you go with silver or gold is really going to determine how often you wear it and the overall feeling of the piece, whether it's casual or elegant. Sterling silver is usually thought to be a little more casual and gold is usually thought to be a little bit more high end but it just really depends on your own personal taste.

One area where you usually don't see this kind of jewelry is in the modern or contemporary style. This really has a lot to do with the color, shape, and organic elements of the piece. If you can find a solid sterling silver setting surrounding this with a high polish it is really very striking. You don't have to compromise on your own design aesthetic just because you want a specific piece or style.

You might discount this kind of jewelry just because you aren't thrilled about orange. In this case you should go with a green amber necklace. This is a color that is very difficult to find in jewelry. It's not as bright as an emerald green. It has almost a muted appearance to it. This can be very subtle, but it still does add a little bit of color to your outfit.

Now that you know all the different ways to buy this kind of jewelry you might be wondering how to wear it. At first, you might think that it will only match different orange or pumpkin colored shirts. However, this can really go with all different kinds of outfits. For instance you could use a chunky amber necklace underneath a button down shirt. This is really going to give kind of a rustic feel to a crisp shirt which will add a little bit more formality to it.

You can match this with all different kinds of colors. Of course, it will work with kind of an autumn inspired color palette. It will be beautiful next to yellows, reds and oranges. You can also really change up a basic gold or tan outfit. You may have a lot of success just by pairing it with chocolate brown. Chocolate brown has really been all over the fashion world for the last few years. This is a way to put your own mark on it and make it a little bit different just because it has been around for so long.
