That elegant diamond and gemstone necklace is now sitting sideways, <strong>bent, crooked<\/strong>, and looking dumb and very <strong>unflattering<\/strong> on your neck line (see image).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sigh!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>So much for a $2,000 pendant!<\/h2>\n<p><strong>But here&#8217;s the real problem:<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><h2>There&#8217;s no way to fix this.<\/h2>\n<p>\n(Other than taping it to your skin, stapling it to your neck, or <strong>not moving.<\/strong>) <\/p>\n<p>\nIt&#8217;s all because of our natural body movements. As we walk and move so does the chain. It&#8217;s either the diamond piece is going up one side of your neck, or the clasp is coming down the other. <\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Both are not attractive.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>\nPlus, they&#8217;re a huge pain in the butt to always keep straightening. Who wants to mess with it all night long?<\/p>\n<p><h2>The worst necklaces:<\/h2>\n<p>The worst to buy are the ones where <strong>the pendant is attached to the chain<\/strong> (see image again).<\/p>\n<p>\nBeing attached means, as the chain moves, so does the pendant.<strong> Initial pendants<\/strong> are just as bad. It may be nice to have your name &#8220;<strong>SARAH<\/strong>&#8221; across your chest, but not when it&#8217;s laying on your shoulder looking like &#8220;<strong>HARAS<\/strong>&#8220;!<\/p>\n<p>This is why I always advise thinking twice before buying these types of necklaces. Sure they look pretty in the showcase, but <strong>they aren&#8217;t very practical to wear<\/strong>. If they would stay put, that would be a whole different story.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Your best bet&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>\nYour best bet for buying a necklace is to stick with something classic. Like a <strong>diamond solitaire<\/strong> (single diamond pendant shown below), or something that&#8217;s free-floating and slides easily over the chain. <\/p>\n<p>\nCharms and Pendants that Slide Smoothly over the Chain will Stay put at the Bottom of the Necklace where they Belong.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Examples:<\/h2>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Diamond-Pendants.gif\" alt=\"Diamond Pendants\" title=\"Diamond Pendants\" width=\"214\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8618\" \/><strong>Good examples of great diamond pendants<\/strong> would be: <\/p>\n<p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2I7d1qP\">Solitaire diamond pendants<\/a>.
