25 Best Everyday Gold Necklaces for Women

I passed the first four years of my career working for a well-known jewelry company, studying all I could about methods, shapes, finishes, and so on. It was part of my work to remain on top of trends, so I can confidently predict that daily gold necklaces will be popular for a long time.

The first thing you should look at while purchasing for them is metals. The majority of costume jewelry is made of plated brass, which is more prone to tarnishing but also the least expensive. While it will not endure forever, appropriate maintenance will help it live longer (taking it off while showering or working out, keeping it tucked away when not in use, etc.) will reduce risk while increasing longevity. 

Some items are more expensive because they are plated with a thicker layer of gold or rhodium, making them more resistant to harm. Demi-fine jewelry is constructed of sterling silver and 18k gold plated sterling silver, often known as 18k gold vermeil. It is far more durable than costume jewelry, although it is still susceptible to tarnishing. You might be shocked to learn that the price range can vary greatly, as you'll see in our roundup.

Fine jewelry in solid gold, rhodium, or platinum is ideal if you want something heirloom quality. The initial investment is the most expensive, but it should survive for a long time even with continuous use.

When it comes to jewelry, you need also think about style. When it comes to ordinary gold necklaces, you normally think of stacking. The key is to combine parts while keeping balance and size in mind. While not a hard and fast guideline, if you're stuck for ideas, pile elements in order of daintiest to heaviest and space them evenly apart.

What was the most essential lesson I acquired throughout my time in the jewelry industry? Whatever you wear, regardless of quality or style, should make you happy and confident. Without further ado, here are the top 25 daily necklaces for women.
