FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND BUYING GUIDE

Anjolee offers a large selection of designs including diamond tennis necklaces and chokers, diamond and gemstone pendant necklaces and multi-strand red carpet necklaces. All necklaces at Anjolee are made just for you and available in almost any length and carat weight.
Factors to consider when choosing a necklace include necklace length, neck size, height, and face shape. The “princess” length is the standard for most necklaces at 16 to 18 inches long and will fit most. All necklaces at Anjolee are customizable by length to ensure you get the perfect fit for your special gift.
Use tailor’s tape or sewing tape to measure your neck. Wrap it around your neck and note the measurement. Add about 2 – 4 inches to this measurement to find your ideal length for most necklace designs. Necklace sizes for women normally start at 14”, which would be choker length. The next size up is princess or standard length, in which the necklace falls at the collarbone, between 16” to 18”. Matinee length hangs just above the bust or chest at 20” while the longest necklace length, referred to as “opera,” can extend below the bust at 30”.
Factors to consider when choosing a necklace include necklace length, neck size, height, and face shape. The “princess” length is the standard for most necklaces, and at 16”to 18” long, princess-length necklaces suit a majority of individuals. Those with longer necks, however, may prefer a more fitted necklace such as a choker. Matinee-length necklaces, which are 20” long, elongate the neckline and as a result are usually favored by those with shorter necks. The matinee- or even opera-length necklace (up to 30” long) can also make a round face appear longer and more defined. But necklaces that are too long or large can overwhelm a shorter person. It’s also suggested that necklaces be paired with the right necklines. A pendant or multi-strand necklace, for instance, looks best when worn with narrower necklines, such as V-necks. However, diamond tennis necklaces are most flattering on scoop necklines. Anjolee carries all sorts of necklaces and pendants, each of which are available in different lengths so as to appeal to a wide range of preferences. Special length requests for necklaces can be submitted to service@anjolee.com.
Use tailor’s tape or sewing tape to measure your neck. Wrap it around your neck and mark down or note the measurement as you will need this figure to determine your ideal necklace size by necklace type. Add about 2” to 4” to your actual neck size. This provides a close estimate of what your minimum necklace size is for a standard-length necklace, unless you want a choker, in which case you can stick to your exact neck size. Necklace sizes for women normally start at 14”, which would be choker length. The next size up is princess or standard length, in which the necklace falls at the collarbone, between 16” to 18”. Matinee length hangs just above the bust or chest at 20” while the longest necklace length, referred to as “opera,” can extend below the bust or chest at 30”.
Clasps that open via a spring-loaded lever are the most secure clasps for necklaces of all types. The two types of clasps for necklaces that fall into this category are lobster claw and spring ring. Other types of clasps like the S-hook or toggle should be fine for lightweight necklaces or pendants but are not recommended for thick or heavy chains and charms.
The part that attaches a pendant to a chain is called a bail. Bail styles can vary from ornate to simple. Bails featured on Anjolee pendants include standard, decorative, and rabbit ear.
If a necklace irritates your skin, it is probably from an allergic reaction to the metal that the necklace is made of. Metals such as nickel or alloys containing nickel can irritate the skin. To avoid having an allergic reaction, it is best to wear necklaces that are made of hypoallergenic precious metals, such as platinum. Gold can also be a good alternative, although it is often mixed with other non-hypoallergenic metals to make it stronger, so purer gold is better. Most do not experience an allergic reaction when wearing 14K or 18K gold. Consumers can select their preferred metal type when shopping for necklaces and pendants from Anjolee.
Chains for necklaces can be divided into two main categories: woven and textured. The first category includes rope chains, snake chains, and herringbone chains. The twisting pattern of the rope chain contributes to its name, and it is among one of the most popular types of chains for necklaces. The snake chain has a sleek design featuring closely knit bands. A herringbone chain resembles the skeleton of a herring fish. This type of chain is made of interlocking flat links arranged in a V-shaped pattern. In the second category of necklace chains are box chains, cable chains, curb chains, figaro chains, and wheat chains. Box chains, also referred to as Venetian chains, are made up of interconnected square links. It is one of the most durable types of chains for pendants. Cable chains are created using oval-shaped links and are among some of the easiest types of chains to repair. Curb chains are similar to cable chains in that they are also made of interlocking links, however the links of a curb chain are twisted and flattened. Figaro chains feature a combination of small and large oblong links interconnected together into a defined pattern. The wheat chain by contrast is constructed from identically sized links.
The best type of chains for pendants include box, curb, cable, figaro, and wheat. These types of chains are durable enough to withstand and support the weight of most pendants. Chains that easily kink and snag such as herringbone chains and snake chains are not recommended for pendants as they are too delicate and difficult to repair.
A necklace is any type of jewelry that hangs around the neck, but a pendant is small ornament or charm that can be attached to a chain and worn as a necklace, bracelet, or other accessory.
When the clasp of a necklace keeps moving or sliding out of place it is because the clasp is heavier than the chain and requires a counterweight to stabilize it. The clasp should stay in position once a counterweight, such as a small charm, metal tag, or ball is attached.
