Statement Necklaces

Welcome to so fashion basic. I'm Catherine, so after taking a look at my dog I'm sure you guys all know what I'm going to do today. I'm going to show you how to style statement necklaces. I will explain the outfit with statement necklaces idea, with four different occasions.

Each occasion I will show you three outfits with three different kinds of statement necklaces. All the clothing items I'm going to use, it's the transitional items from early fall to winter. I hope this will give you an idea about how do you utilise the necklaces in your everyday life.

The first occasion I'm going to do is work days. Statement necklaces it's always great for work. Here I'm showing you a little black dress that everyone has in your closet for work with a detail and silver colour lace like statement necklace. It gives you a very pretty neckline but still makes you stay in an appropriate attire to please everybody in your office. The second can work outfit is a black shirt, shirt is always great for work but it's always boring but by adding a statement necklaces, here is a chain necklaces under the collar which makes it more fun but it's still less dramatic.

The last shirt I'm showing you for work is a coloured shirt, it's our green shirt that you can wear on your casual Friday workdays. So here I'm adding more colours by adding a blue colour stone statement necklace. We play this more fun to welcome the weekend, second occasion is about school days, being in school is always the happiest thing and fun thing. That's why we're playing very interesting by adding a full colour statement necklace which is covered by pearls and faux stones.

This would definitely makes you more younger looking and fun. The second fun school outfit is a very popular animal, bigger print shirt, to make this more fun we added another kind of statement necklace. Who says statement necklaces has to be something cross over your neck?

Here I'm adding coloured bow clip to my neck line which gives a very bold statement. The last outfit of school shows you when it gets cooler and colder, we have to put another sweater over. That's when we need to add a statement necklaces to make the boring outfit more fun and don't forget your glasses for class. Third occasion is about stay off casual days. In those day off and casual days we always want to stay simple and comfy, so here I opt for a shift dress but to make this more classic and stylish, I add a very artistic statement necklace over my neckline.

There's times we want to be very fashion-forward on our day offs, so here is a time to add a dramatic necklace over a dramatic top, to get your strong personality. Since now we're in the fall we want to look like in the season, that's why I choose a brown leather necklace over a false dial faux leather top to create a very fall look.

If you think it's too simple for you, add a gold chain necklace on top to make this even more chic for your day offs. The last occasion is going to be about dress-up days. Right now of course is the party season, that's why I'm showing you a right statement necklace for parties. This pano pearl and bead necklaces can totally give you that look even you are covering under a little black jacket.

Maybe when you are going to a wedding, you want to choose a pro stone with colour necklace to put over your white lace top to makes you looks very happy and bright and appropriate to create a new wedding couple.

If it gets really cold, how can we make a jumper or a sweater fancy? Definitely add a statement necklace on top of it. You can be warm and still fancy. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time. Please remember to check out the other videos as well, bye. 

How To Wear Jewellery: Style Tips!

Hi everyone, thank you for tuning in to Lindsay's latest. I have a very special guest on my channel today. This is, well, and very famous too. This is Molly Sims. Thank you so much, and she is here today. You actually brought everything too. I did, I come with jewellery, and I come with accessories, one of my favourite things.

Well I love jewellery, I know all of you guys out there love jewellery, and today we are going to show you guys how to accessorize. What is your biggest tip when mixing up your jewellery? Normally start long and go short, so I will do my longest piece first and then I take it almost like a grid all the way up; with about 3 inches apart and I normally wear something always here.

I'm wearing a lot of jewellery by the way. This is another tip that I always tell people if you're doing big up here you keep it small here, if you're having it here to keep it small here. Don't be afraid also now it's a little all that 80’s style but you can wear your jewellery on the outside. Oh absolutely, even outside of your denim jacket, outside of outerwear. Exactly, I love, I love, I love that.

I'm also a big wear of, like I don't do too earrings in the same much anymore. So right now I'm wearing like a little safety pin, can you see that, but then I'm just wearing like a little stud bar on the other side. So are you saying that symmetry and balance is out with jewellery? Symmetry and balance, all colourful bright mix metals like I have to say like I think the new trend is that anything goes.

I agree in that, I love anything goes because it makes it easier. I want you to give us a little tutorial. Okay. I want you to show us how to layer jewellery, you said the long and yeah but can you just enjoy like a quick like a few pieces. I know isn't it? Can that be my parting gift?

I actually have a little parting gift for you. Oh you do? Yeah great, I guess you just got to ask for things. I would always start long, start with the long, and like I would also like layer something like this. Yeah going to be too long, but I also play with links, depending on what you have. We can go like even shorter. This is also very slimming because it draws the eye up and down. Exactly. Which is like this dress, that's really tight.

Molly has a lot of things to share you guys and she has her own channel, so please make sure you subscribe. I'm going to put all the information to her channel in the description below. Okay, seeing what you're doing this looks for trying so good, no mirror, no I’m your mirror, but I'm the foreman on this whole job right now and I am like, good job. This looks great, okay, funky and I let me just make sure remember like you could even drop another one in here but really play.

Like I always say, mirror 360, go in front of a mirror like if you don't have a friend that's going to tell you have back fat, yeah and she's not your friend okay? So listen to me, it's like you know it, just put it together. Just put the end about it, so I think about it, you play like if something doesn't work clearly don't wear it. Thank you so much for your jewellery and accessories tips, I'm sure you guys got a lot of information from this.

This was so fun and hello look at this professional setting. You guys are used to being in my style studio so it was nice to kind of take it on location, with you, an amazing YouTube space. Yes and you guys make sure to subscribe to Molly's channel. Again and I also put the link to your new book that just came out this year. So everything will be in the description below. Thank you so much for watching, thank you and you guys, I will see you next week, bye.

Shopping for Solid Gold Necklace - Custom made Australian Jewellery

Shopping for a new solid gold necklace can be intimidating, there are so many styles of gold chains to choose from, not to mention all the different widths and lengths and all of the different colours of gold, it can be super difficult to pick all the right options. When purchasing for yourself, consider how you will wear the necklace. Will you be wearing it with or without a pendant? What style of clothing do you normally wear? Paying mind to what neckline would be flattering to your usual wardrobe. The length is important as it will predict where the chain will sit on your chest, a 45cm chain will sit quite high on a woman, usually sitting around her collars bones. Although he larger your build, the larger chain you might need.

Men’s gold chains will often be 55cm so they don’t sit too high. A large man may need a 60 or 65cm necklace chain to look good on them. Men usually wear a heavier or thicker chain than women as a finer chain can lack masculinity. We normally advise men to wear a necklace of a 5mm or greater width. The exception to this is when a pendant is worn on the necklace and the chain should be chosen to suit the pendant.

Most gold chains can be purchased in rose gold, white gold and the most commonly worn yellow gold necklaces. Although most men (and women) are likely to choose yellow gold, those who have won silver before might have a preference for white gold. Rose gold reached the height of its popularity in the early 1900’s, it was worn most throughout the 1920’s and is now making it’s grand come back in the last few years. It has a distinctly antique feel and the warm, coppery sparkle is appreciated by many women and quite a few men.

We have an extraordinary range of handmade gold necklaces at Fraser Ross, these can be made into any combination of white, rose and yellow gold or just one singular chain of solid colour. Our fancy chains can be customised by colour and length which means you can get personalise a unique style that not only suits you best but you can bet that no one else is wearing the same one. A good tip to help you decide on the length, width and colour of your gold necklace is to visit a jeweller and try on a few different colours and styles from their window, they probably won’t have the same extensive collection that you’ll find at Fraser Ross, but it will give you a good idea of what to go shopping for when you visit us. Don’t be shy in asking the shop assistant to write down the size and style for you so that you can compare these with what we see on our website. Jewellery shops are usually very helpful in hopes that you’ll return to purchase something in future but they are aware that people enjoy shopping around before making a final decision.

We like to have as much information in our store as physically possible to help you make a fair comparison with the jewellery you will see in physical jewellery stores. We offer the largest choice by having all of our necklaces and bracelets customisable in length and in the shade of solid gold or sterling silver.

Which Style Of Silver Bracelet Is Best?

Silver chains are universally flattering, but certain designs are more complimentary on certain individuals. Depending on who you’re shopping for, you may find a delicate figaro chain or a thicker belcher suitable for different people depending on what suits them and their personal tastes. But here’s a quick guide to to introduce you to some of our different styles of precious metal chains and who they’re most flattering on.

Belcher Chains : Men and women alike can wear a solid silver belcher chain bracelet. The width and weight of these chains has a lot to do wth who they suit most. Generally the thicker the belcher chain is in width, the more masculine the look ad these are generally better suited to men. But the thinner belcher chain widths are often most suited to women because the delicate design is seen as more feminine and pretty.

Figaro Chains : Figaro chains are definitely a favourite among men, these chains originated in Italy as a popular men’s style and are still popular to this day among men folk as necklaces and bracelets. Despite the fact that these are so popular among men, the thinner widths of these chains can be equally complimentary to women and have a much more feminine appeal.

Curb Chains : A similar style to the belcher chain, this style can be embraced by both men and women alike. The thinner widths of these chains compliment the slender curves of the feminine form, while the thicker and chunkier styles of belcher chains are more suited to the masculine form.

Other Chains : While these solid sterling silver chains are all beautiful classic styles, they aren’t the entirety of what we have on offer here at Chain Me Up. We stock a selection of solid silver chains that can be custom made to the length and width that you desire and can be completely customised with charms as well!

Shopping for a Solid Gold Necklace - Fraser Ross

Shopping for a solid gold necklace chain can be a bit intimidating. There are so many styles of gold chains, in different widths, different lengths and choices of the colour of gold that the choice isn’t always clear.

When buying for yourself, consider how you will wear the necklace. With or without a pendant, the style of clothing, paying attention to the neckline, and the colour of the dress or shirt you intend to wear it with.

The length of the necklace will affect where it sits on your chest. A 45cm chain will sit quite high on a lady, and normally be far too short for a man.  The larger your build, the longer the chain that will be needed for the same drop onto your chest.

Men’s gold chains will often be 55cm so they don’t sit too high. A large man may need a 60 or 65cm necklace chain to look good on them. Men usually wear a heavier or thicker chain than women as a finer chain can lack masculinity. We normally advise men to wear a necklace of a 5mm or greater width. The exception to this is when a pendant is worn on the necklace and the chain should be chosen to suit the pendant.

Most gold chains can be found in rose gold and white gold in addition to the most commonly seen yellow gold necklaces. Although most men will choose yellow gold, many who have worn silver jewellery will prefer to wear white gold necklace. Rose gold was very common in the early 1900’s and is making something of a resurgence in recent years. It has an antique feel about it and a warmth in colour that is proving alluring to many women.

We feature a large range of handmade gold necklaces that can be made in a single shade of gold or a combination of any two or three shades of rose, yellow and white gold. Our fancy link chains can be customised by colour and length, which means you could create a very distinctive or even unique style that you won’t see anyone else wearing.

A good tip to help you to decide on the length, width and colour of your gold necklace is simply to visit a jeweller and try some on. They won’t have every combination you can find online at Fraser Ross, but it will help to give you a better idea of which length and width of chain that will work for you.

Don’t be afraid to ask the shop assistant to measure the length and width of the chain so you can price compare like for like on our website. We show as much information in our store as we can to help you make a fair comparison with the jewellery you see in the retail stores.

We offer the largest choice by having all of our necklaces and bracelets being able to be made to the exact length you want, in any or all shades of solid gold.

Australian Jewellery Store - Fraser Ross

Fraser Ross is an Australian jewellery store that started as a simple retail outlet with a few gold chains. As you can see, we've come a long way since then! We now have thousands of different designs of gold and silver chains, charms and more, and we continue to add new designs every day.

The challenge that founder Ross Fraser faced was how to offer affordable precious metal jewellery to the family and friends who were requesting it. He got so many requests, in fact, that he couldn't keep up! It was then that Ross decided to start his own precious metal jewellery company, and thus was born Chain Me Up. Chain Me Up was rebranded in 2010 as Fraser Ross. 

With a new name and a fresh start, the website received a makeover as well. It's now the glimmering, shining showcase you see today. We've divided each of our categories up into easy-to-digest sections. By setting aside a special section for men in each of our jewellery types, male fans of Fraser Ross can easily pick out a chain suited to them. On the other hand, our charm bracelets section has been a hit because it makes it a simple task to pick a chain that will fit charms on it.

Security was the next main concern. Although no incidents had occurred where a customer's information was put at risk, we wanted to get the best security we could for transactions. After all, these weren't just small purchases – this was precious metal jewellery we were talking about! That's why we upgraded to an EV (extended validation) SSL site certificate. It's the best that money can buy, and our customers have greatly appreciated the added security element.

We also offer a 7-day moneyback guarantee for our customers. If you aren't 100% satisfied, you can return or exchange your jewellery item for the full amount, no questions asked. It's that simple! Along with the guarantee, our sizing guide has been a big help for online shoppers. It sucks to have to play a guessing game with chain lengths. Well, you don't have to worry about that either!

If you love precious metal jewellery and want a secure online shop with tons of selection, stop by our website today and browse our thousands of different designs. We'll be here waiting!

Buy Silver Bracelets | Chain Me Up | Silver Bracelets

Where can you buy silver bracelets that are affordable without sacrificing quality? It's no mystery – you need to shop at Fraser Ross. Our online jewellery shop has precious metal items that will make you jump for joy when you see the amazing low prices.

Choosing Silver

When you buy silver bracelets, you are getting something truly special. Forget what the precious metal is worth or the chemical properties of it; just look at silver, and you'll see what's so magical about it. The cool, sleek lines of silver evoke in us a sense of grace and poise. It's why many jewellery buyers choose silver over gold for its subtle properties.

Silver Bracelets And Chain Types

Fraser Ross has several pre-made options of silver bracelets available, but you can also choose your own chain type and have it cut to a particular length. The type of chains we carry include:

Curb – Curb chains are perfect for those who want their silver bracelet to have a little extra 'oomph'. They're cut to reflect more light (silver is the best reflector of natural light), so they'll definitely draw other people's attention.

 Belcher – Belcher chains have alternating open links that allow them to be used for charm bracelets. However, due to the chain's sturdiness, you can also use them as necklaces with modest-sized pendants.

Cable – Cable chains are the little sister to belcher chains, and they're far more delicate, so pendants aren't suited to them. However, they make beautifully feminine necklaces that pair well with solid colors. You can also layer cable chain bracelets for a chunkier look.

Figaro – This Italian chain type can be used for either men's or women's bracelets, but it's definitely more masculine than other chain types, especially thicker Figaro chains. You can enjoy the Figaro as a plain bracelet or necklace or attach charms to create a sturdy charm bracelet.

If you aren't sure of which chain size to buy for your silver bracelet, try using our helpful sizing guide or call one of our friendly representatives. We look forward to helping you buy your next silver bracelet! Need help? Call 07 5590 7108

We have a huge range of earrings for women and children in our store.

It's time to renew, rejuvenate and refurbish your silver charms and charm bracelet. Some of those charms are getting old, and they just don't shine out at you like they used to. Visit Fraser Ross' online jewellery shop in Australia, and you'll find plenty of silver charms to update your bracelet with.

Types Of Silver Charms

You've changed, and so should your charm bracelet. You want something new and adventurous, a series of charms that really speak to you where you're at now. We've got a selection of over 4,600 designs to meet your needs. Here are just a few sections you'll find on our website:

·         Animal Charms – Ross Fraser, the owner of Fraser Ross, is a cat dad himself, so you can bet which animal charms he's been buying. Still, there are so many more cute and cuddlies to choose from, along with some not so cuddly ones like the crocodile or rattlesnake. Mythical creatures also make an appearance: dragons and the phoenix, for example.

·         Travel Charms – We'll bet you've been to some exciting places since you bought or were given your last charm bracelet. Why not commemorate fun trips with a few charms? A trip to Paris deserves a sparkling silver charm of the Eiffel Tower.

·         Love Charms – Maybe you've finally found that special someone, and you want more than a wedding ring to show your love for them. A collection of silver honeymoon charms will do nicely. A champagne bucket to start the romance off right. A gondola for when he serenaded you on your trip to Europe. A house to celebrate when you bought your first home together. We have it all!
