Name necklaceTeam Names4ever A name necklace: it is the piece of jewellery that carries your name. It also adds a special individual touch to your own look. People who wear such a necklace show the world around them who they are - fashion-conscious people with a good sense of detail. At Names4ever we have many different models of chains with names to choose from. Therefore, it can probably be difficult to choose one. In this blog we will show you how to choose the right model that really suits you. Photo by @juliesdresscode Silver or Gold? The first question you can ask yourself before making your decision is: Should your chain be made of silver or gold? This decision is easy if you know what suits you better. Of course, we have several tips for you to find out! Skin types: Your skin type is an important indicator of which jewellery really flatters you. The cool skin types "summer" and "winter" are particularly well suited to the cool colour silver. On the other hand, the warm skin types "spring" and "autumn" are flattered by a warm gold. You can tell which skin type you belong to by looking at the characteristics below. The winter type: He often has dark hair and light skin with a cool skin undertone. The eye colour is clear, like for example a clear blue. An exemplary winter type is the world-famous Anne Hathaway. Summer type: Summer types have a delicate skin undertone and their skin tans quickly. In addition, the eye colour is often multicoloured. The hair colour can be blonde or brown. Cameron Diaz is an example of the summer type. Spring type: Spring types have a golden skin undertone. They can have blue or green eyes, for example. They also usually have a strong blonde or brown hair colour. A prominent example of the spring type is Marilyn Monroe. Autumn type: The autumn type has a skin, from pale to dark, with a warm undertone. Usually the eye colour is brown or green. The hair colour can also be brown or red. The prominent Jessica Alba also belongs to the autumn types. Are you still having trouble determining your skin type? Then we have a few additional tips for you. It is not always easy to identify the right colour type. And then there are also mixed types… If in doubt, you can first look at your veins on the inside of your wrist. If they look blue or purple, you have a cool undertone. If they are green, you have a warm skin undertone. And if neither is true, you probably have a neutral skin undertone. You may also wonder how your skin reacts to the sun. People who quickly get sunburn are among the cool types. However, if you tan quickly without getting sunburn, you are likely to have a warm or neutral skin tone. Clothing: In addition to one's own skin type, clothing also plays an important role in the selection of jewellery. Especially if the jewellery is not worn directly on the skin, but on the clothing. This means that the warm colour gold is best combined with other warm colours. These colours include, for example, brown tones and strong red tones as well as pink and yellow. However, cool tones can better be combined with silver. These include grey or blue and green tones. Quality of our silver and golden jewellery Whether you are a silver or gold type, Names4ever has a large jewellery selection in both cases. We only have real jewellery. That means that our silver jewellery is made of 925 sterling silver. The gold jewellery, on the other hand, consists of 14 carat gold. Extra tip: Of course, real gold has a particularly high value. If you are a gold type and still want to order a gold-coloured necklace as inexpensively as possible, you can also order the gold-plated version. Gold plated means that you actually get a 925 sterling silver necklace, which is however covered with a 14 carat gold layer. In this way the necklace still looks gold coloured. Different models of name necklaces Now that you know if it should be a silver or gold chain, you can choose your favourite model. Does a simple or eye-catching name chain suit you? Should it be a necklace with one or two names? And so on. Below you can see our tips! One or two names Would you like to wear a single name around your neck or should the necklace be a proof of love showing that your name and the name of your darling belong together? If the second case applies to you, then you should choose a double name chain. A necklace with two names is also useful if you have a double name or if you would like to carry the names of your two children with you. Last but not least, a double name necklace is also a perfect gift! > To the product Eye-catching or simple In addition, ask yourself whether your necklace should have an eye-catching design. Striking necklaces go particularly well with extroverted people who also like to show this in their style. If you feel addressed now, then you can recognize your matching necklace, for example, by the fact that the name is underlined on the chain or other large ornaments decorate the name. Your name will be clearly brought into shape with these necklaces. > To the product Alternatively, you can select a simpler necklace. These models are particularly popular with more reserved people, who are also more discreet about their clothes. After all, if the clothing style is simple, a necklace without ornaments underlines this look perfectly and looks harmonious in the overall picture. In this case you can choose one of our bar name necklaces, which will have your name engraved on a classic bar-shaped pendant. With these bar necklaces you reinforce a minimalistic and discreet look. > To the products Photo by @federica__martina Tokens Name chains do not only have to contain a name. A heart or an infinity sign can also be located on the chain. Ask yourself: Which sign do you want to set with your chain? If, for example, you want to emphasize that the name belongs to you forever, then a necklace with infinity sign is a good choice. If the name is particularly deep in your heart or if you want to say that you should love yourself, then a chain with a heart suits you perfectly. > To the product Font of the name Last but not least, the chains also differ in the font, of course. From an ornate handwriting to clear block letters. The font can tell you more about your character than you think. At first glance it is obvious that a cursive model such as "Claudia" has an elegant appearance, while the "Naomi" model in large block letters is particularly suitable for cool people. But the font can tell even more, as studies by graphologists have shown. According to graphologists, a script that begins with a conspicuous or ornate letter shows that the person is proud and energetic. So if you're proud of your name, a font with a squiggly initial like "Claudia" or "Petra" will suit you well. > To the product According to graphologists, a clear font with block letters belongs to an uncomplicated, easy-going person. In addition, writers of capital letters are often very sociable. For people who have recognized themselves in the last two sentences, we can recommend our model "Naomi". > To the product Creative people be alert! The study also found that round letters indicate creativity. So a model like "Anouk" or "Monica" also fits very well to particularly creative people! > To the product On the other hand, there are also fonts with pointed letters. These often refer to intelligent and curious people. Do you feel addressed? Then the model "Ashley" might be something for you! > To the product Chain types and lengths Once you have chosen the material and the font, you are not far away from your name necklace! Now you can choose a matching chain according to your taste. We have Jasseron, Venetian or Figaro necklaces, for example. These chains are also all made of 925 sterling silver or 14 carat gold. They differ however in the form and arrangement of the links. Which chain suits you best is purely a matter of taste. When ordering, you can see what the different chains look like in the step "Choose chain". We offer the different chains also in different sizes. The short 42 cm chains look especially good on a narrow neck or with short hair and updos. The medium chain length of 50 cm stretches the neck nicely and can accentuate the chain pendant, since this often does not lie on the same height as the neckline.
