Simple Chain Link Necklace

This handmade necklace design is without any bells and whistles (figuratively and literally). While these handmade necklace designs may vary in lengths and have up to two strands, there are no drops or pendants present. The simple handmade necklace designs work well with almost any neckline and may be worn to compliment other "chain link with drop (aka Y-Necklace)" or "chain link with pendant" necklaces, which will be described in the next article. Of course, they can also be worn alone, and they look magnificent.

All of the necklace designs use either sterling silver or 14kt gold fill wire and some also use matching chain in between the handmade glass beads, Swarovski crystals, pearls and semiprecious stones. All handmade necklaces are secured with a clasp. Depending on the intended length, some necklace may have an extension. These extensions are usually added to shorter necklaces, as it can be difficult to predict the neck size that necklace design will end up with. All extension are embellished with matching beads, bring the whole necklace design together as one.

At this time all of the double strand chain link necklaces are designed to be worn as two strands. What do I mean? New designs are coming to Kincaidesigns in "great lengths", which can be worn as the trendy long double strand necklace or a shorter triple strand necklace. The design is basically one long necklace, also known as the Opera Necklace (26-34 inches in length) or the Rope Necklace (longer than the Opera Necklace). This style may end up having a category of its own, however, at this time they will be with the chain link necklaces. Not only can they be worn as 2, 3 or even 4 strand necklaces, they can also be wrapped around your wrist as a multiple strand bracelet. Now THAT is versatility.

No matter which way you wear it, the chain link necklace is a must have in your jewelry box. Compliment other necklaces, wear it alone, wrap it around your wrist, or make up a fashion statement of your own.

Necklace Styles-Chain Link with Drop

Well, we've already discussed the handmade triple strand necklace in the previous article. The next handmade necklace style you'll find in the Kincaidesigns Necklace Boutique is the Chain Link Necklace with Drop.

Chain Link with Drop
For more simple and delicate handmade jewelry, the chain link with drop necklaces are the perfect choice. This necklace is otherwise known as the Y-necklace due to the shape, however, many people aren't aware of this necklace type. These necklaces are constructed using sterling silver or 14kt gold fill chain and embellished with Swarovski Crystals, handmade glass beads, pearls and semiprecious stones. The drop itself acts as a unique pendant. Each drop is different based on the necklace, some have clustered dangles, others have 2-3 drops, while the most standard chain link with drop necklace in the Kincaidesigns collection has one drop with a matching bead combination finishing off the piece as seen in the photograph. These necklaces can be paired with matching chain link necklaces to create a double or triple strand necklace, which is a stunning evening look or even a trendy everyday look. Wearing multiple strand necklaces is a huge trend right now, one of many trends that the jewelry designers are hoping will stay around for awhile.
