The right necklace or pendant will
add style to anything she wears. In addition to being a fashionable gift,
giving her a necklace gives you the opportunity to perform the classically
romantic gesture of putting it around her neck for the first time.
In general, a necklace is defined as any type of
chain or length of precious metal or gems. A pendant features a single jewel,
pearl or charm, usually suspended from a chain. A pearl strand is a length of
closely strung pearls.

Chains go with everything. A fine platinum chain in a choker length will add
just a touch of shine. Consider giving her an 18-inch, sterling silver or 18k
gold chain to add an element of visual interest to her wardrobe

A pendant is something she
can wear with a dress or jeans. The simple design of a solitaire pendant allows
all the attention to focus on a beautiful pearl or diamond solitaire. Other pendants
feature shapes like a heart, or a cross made of precious metal, diamonds, or gemstones.

At Kabir Jewels, many necklace lengths fall between these sizes. We measure the length of the necklace from the tip of one end to the other, including the clasp. Ex. A necklace chain may be 16-inches-long, but the clasp may add an additional .75 inches

Many
women start out with a strand of faux-pearls, so a strand of freshwater pearls
makes a very nice gift for a young woman. If you have a special occasion like a
birthday or your first wedding anniversary, consider a solitaire pendant
featuring a pearl or diamond. For a very special occasion like a five- or
ten-year anniversary, you might give
Akoya pearls,
which are the most beautiful white pearls available. She'll remember the
occasion every time she wears the gift.
If it's a gift for a fun occasion, like a vacation or
a promotion, consider a pendant featuring an 18k gold, platinum, or sterling
silver charm — these are fashion pieces just for fun.

Classic Diamond Jewelry
Necklaces show off a woman's
neckline and provide the finishing touch to her ensemble. Unlike other forms of
jewelry, there are appropriate occasions for specific types of necklaces, and
it's important that she have a necklace for every occasion.

A diamond solitaire pendant is a classic accessory that is
valuable for its versatility. It easily goes from day to night with anything
from a V-neck sweater and jeans to a cocktail dress. We suggest a diamond size
that is noticeable but not ostentatious, so it can be worn every day. Choose
from platinum, or our more affordable metals, 18k yellow or 18k white gold.
Diamond pendants start at $350.

A pearl strand can moonlight as
a professional, formal, or a casual accessory. It is perfect for work, a night
concert, or it goes perfectly with a cashmere sweater on any average Saturday.
The classic size of pearl in a pearl strand is in the
5.0-8.0mm range. Keep in mind the larger pearl sizes, like 10.0mm, should be
reserved for special occasions. Pearl
strands start at $125.

an 18k gold, sterling silver, or platinum pendant or locket in an oval or heart
shape. And she'll think of you every time she wears it. Engrave able pendants
