A gold necklace is one of those pieces that always works—whether you're dressing up for an event or just running errands in style. But with so many chain styles, lengths, and looks out there, how do you pick the right one? Don’t worry—we’ve got your back. Here’s your easy guide to choosing the perfect gold necklace for any occasion.
Start with the Occasion
Everyday looks call for something simple and timeless. Think a fine chain with a pendant, or a subtle paperclip necklace for a touch of edge. For date nights, weddings, or anything that calls for dressing up, opt for a statement chain or a gemstone pendant—we love using Zambian emeralds or aquamarines for that extra pop.
Get to Know the Chain Styles
Here’s a quick breakdown of some of our favourite chain types at Masaat:
- Paperclip Chain: Sleek, modern, and perfect for layering. It’s a go-to for minimalists who want a little edge.
- Curb Chain: Classic and bold. This one lies flat against the skin and adds weight and shine to your look.
- Figaro Chain: A mix of long and short links, giving it a slightly vintage, European feel. Great solo or layered.
- Rope Chain: Twisted and textured, this one catches the light beautifully and feels more luxe.
- Box Chain: Strong, structured, and great for showcasing a pendant.
Consider the Length
Shorter chains (16–18 inches) sit at the collarbone and work well solo or stacked. Mid-length chains (20–24 inches) make room for pendants, while longer styles can be layered or worn over high necklines.
Match It to Your Style
Are you all about sleek and minimal? Go for a fine box or paperclip chain. Prefer something bold? A chunky curb or Figaro chain makes a strong statement. Mix and match, layer different textures—gold is made to play with.
Final Tip?
Pick what feels right. A well-chosen gold necklace doesn’t just elevate your outfit—it becomes part of your story. And that’s what we’re all about at Masaat London.
