Basic knowledge about jewelry Part II
Now moving to the neck and upper body:
Necklaces and neck chains are available today. First, two simple distinctions. A strand is a line of pearls or beads strung on thread. A necklace is the finished piece one or more strands together with a clasp. In a uniform strand, the beads are about the same size. A graduated strand shows a progression from the largest beads at the center to the smallest at each end.
Here are the standard pearl necklace lengths with their traditional names:
Choker: 14-16 inches (falls to the hollow of the neck)
Princess: 18 inches
Matinee: 20-24 inches (falls to the crown of the bust)
Opera: 28-32 inches (twice the length of a choker)
Rope: longer than 32 inches
Necklace lengths vary, depending on the size of the clasp and whether strung beads have knots between them. More important than the exact length in inches is where a person wants the necklace to fall. If your try on the necklace, make sure you are comfortable with the length.
Depending on its size, materials, and construction, the clasp can be a big selling point for pearl and bead necklaces. A fancy clasp is often worn in front to show it better.To get more versatile use from long necklace optional clip-ons called shorteners let you double or twist the strand.
A popular multi-strand necklace is the torsade(tore-SOD), in which the strands twist around each other. These come in different lengths. Each strand in a torsade is usually uniform, but the bead sizes may differ between strands.
The bib, a more traditional multi-strand style, has three or more strands of different lengths. The lowest hanging strand generally does not exceed matinee length. The highest may be choker length or longer.
Chain necklace styles fall into two general contours: flat or full. The herringbone chain is a flat style: the rope chain is full. There are many style names for chains. You should recognize these basic types:
Cable
Curb
Snake
Herringbone
Rope
Some fancy styles have Italian names – Bianci, Figaro, Gucci. One variation you sometimes see mostly on flat styles is the chevron in which the links are V-shape
The ornaments that hanging on neck chains and other necklaces are called pendants. Lavaliere (Lav-uh-LEER) is another term for a pendant on a chain. Certain pendants have specific names.
A locket is a hinged pendant that holds a picture or memento of a loved one.
Medallions are large, flat usually disk-like pendants with a figure or design on them. Sometime, you may find frame mountings for coins to be worn as medallions.
Tassels are pendants that resemble drapery ornaments with dangling filaments.
A keeper is a loop on which several charms are hung; the whole unit serves as a pendant.
A watch worn on a neck chain is simply called a pendant watch.
A neck chain ornament called a slide has slots on the back the chain to go through, instead of hanging from the bail (the loop on the pendant)
Riviere (reev-YAIR) is a uniform or graduated series of stones in simple individual settings are linked close together.
Collars fit close to the neck, most are wide: some add a pendant.
Sautoir (so-TWAR) falls almost to the waist. Sautoirs can be made of beads, chains, or linked sections that often end a pendent.
Next we move from the neck to upper body garments.
The pin or brooch was once a practical item that held clothing together. But since buttons, snaps, and zippers are now common, most pins today are purely decorative, except those used as scarf fasteners.
typical brooch is fastened with a pin stem- a pointed wire mounted on its back (usually in a pivot joint). On some two-in-one brooches called pin pendants, a bail that swings lets them be worn as pendants. Small accent pins are known as scatter pins.
The stick pin- a long pin stem with an ornament at the top. Its pointed end goes through a clutch that friction-fit around the stem and keeps it in the fabric.
Small emblematic lapel pins worn on the coat may fasten with a pin stem and catch, or with a short post that fits into a clutch or screw back.
Tie tacks and tie bars add a decorative touch while keeping a tie from flopping around. Most tie tacks fasten with a clutch back. This has an attached chain or toggle bar that slips into a button hole. The tie bar or tie clip clamps the tie against the shirt instead of piercing the fabric.
The bolo tie- a string tie with a slide often set with cabochons- is a favorite of rockhounds, lapidaries, and those who like Western wear.
Collar tips are metal accents that fasten over the points on shirt collars.
Cufflinks serve as cuff buttons on some dress shirts, held in the cuff buttons on some dress shirts, held in the cuff holes by a rigid flange or a bar on a pivot. In a traditional combination, the design of cufflinks and tie ornament or shirt studs match.
Next moving out the arms to the wrists,
we come to the bracelet. Many bracelets are made in the same bead, chain, mesh, and linked section styles as necklaces,
Parure (pah-RURE) is a bracelets designed for inclusion, a matching set that includes a necklace and a pair of earrings.
A charm bracelet is a chanin bracelet with charms ---ornaments having sentimental meaning for the wearer---attached.
An identification or ID bracelet is a chain bracelet with a plaque for the engraving of a person's name or initials.
Several bracelet styles have a more rigid construction. Bangle, is a closed circular slips over the hand.
Holoith bracelets are bangles carved from a single stone. In a first cousin of the hololith, two stone semicircles are fitted together with a short tubular hinge and clasp.
The cuff bracelet is usually oval and broad. It may be a single piece with a gap at the black, or have two hinged sections that spring or clasp together.
Echoing the trend in neck chains, bracelets have become fashionable for men. Although in past decades they wore only the traditional ID bracelet, today men choose from a wide variety of chain, linked section, and cuff styles.
The most practical wrist accessory for men and women is the wristwatch. These range from workaday models fastened with a plain strap or metal stretch band to flashy dress styles set with diamonds. In some the watch case is smoothly integrated into the band so the whole unit looks more like a bracelet.
RINGS ON YOUR FINGERS
Shall we look at the large assortment of rings? Although most rings used to show up on the ring finger, people now wear them on all fingers- even on the thumbs! Some people wear several rings at once on both hands.
But the most special digit for ring wearing remains the ring finger of the left hand – for engagement and wedding rings. These make up the bulk of most jewelry stores' annual sales volume.
The solitaire or single stone ring is the classic favorite diamond engagement ring.
