Shell necklaces

Shell necklaces in different designs

The shell is the focal point, but that doesn't mean every shell necklace looks the same.

You can find delicate designs with small shell details, but also necklaces where the shells are more prominent. Shells can also be combined with color, beads, pearls or other details.

So, look mainly at the overall design. Sometimes the shell is a small detail, other times it can be more noticeable.

Are you going for natural or color?

Shell necklaces don't all have to have the same look.

Natural shades like white, cream, and beige keep it a bit softer. Colored beads or other colorful details give a shell necklace a completely different effect.

Maybe you usually wear neutral jewelry and want to add a shell detail. Or maybe you're in the mood for a bit more color.

Both are nice. Look mainly at the combination that catches your eye.

Shells with beads and pearls

Shells, beads, and pearls are regularly found together in jewelry designs. Within shell necklaces, these different elements can also be combined.

A necklace with beads and shells can, for example, have more color, while pearls give a completely different effect.

Do you mainly love beads? Then also take a look at our beaded necklaces. This way you can view different designs side by side and choose what you like best.

Delicate or more noticeable?

A shell necklace can be small and subtle, but just as easily draw more attention.

Do you mainly want a delicate piece of jewelry? Then look at smaller shell details or a simpler design. If you want your necklace to be more prominent, you can choose larger shapes, more shells, or extra color.

Even here, it doesn't have to be one or the other. There is plenty in between minimalist and statement.

Combine your shell necklace with other necklaces

A shell necklace can easily be worn on its own. But wearing multiple necklaces together is also, of course, nice.

For example, pair a shell necklace with a simple basic necklace or combine it with a delicate chain. With different lengths, you ensure that the designs remain clearly visible.

Do you already have a few necklaces that you often wear together? Just try adding your shell necklace to the mix. Then you'll quickly see whether the combination works.

Also nice outside of summer

When you think of shells, you might first think of the sun, sea, and vacation. Logical, but you really don't have to wear your shell necklace only in the summer.

Precisely because there are so many different designs, you can also very easily wear shells among the jewelry you wear the rest of the year.

A natural shell detail, for example, works very differently than a colorful beaded necklace with shells. So choose mainly the design you like, rather than the season in which you should wear it.

Personalizing a shell necklace

With different shell necklaces, you can still add something to the design yourself.

Think, for example, of an initial pendant or a birthstone. This way you can further customize a shell necklace that you already think is beautiful.

Personalization is an extra option, not a must. Do you already love the design without extra pendants? Then you can, of course, just leave it as it is.

Check which options are available for the chosen model.

Which length do you choose?

When choosing your shell necklace, also take a look at the length.

A shorter model sits higher around your neck, while a longer necklace hangs lower. Especially if you want to wear multiple necklaces together, the difference in length can be useful.

Not sure which size you will like? Then measure a necklace that you often wear at home and compare that length with the model you want to order.

Giving a shell necklace as a gift

A shell necklace is also nice if you are looking for something for someone who likes to wear jewelry with color or special details.

For example, look whether they usually choose delicate necklaces or jewelry that stands out a bit more. And do they wear a lot of neutral colors or do they like color?

This way you can already look quite specifically through the different shell designs.

And if you can personalize the chosen model, you can always still decide to add an initial or birthstone.
