There are a number of ways to store and display your necklaces. Depending on the metal type and gemstones in your necklace, jewelry stands, boxes, chests and dishes are some good options for storage. Necklaces with gemstones or diamonds should always be stored in a padded box or cloth to avoid scratching. Proper storage will ensure that your necklaces retain their value and sparkle. 

A great way to keep necklaces from tangling when not in use is to store them on a jewelry stand or in individual pouches. When wearing multiple men’s or women’s necklaces at once, try using a necklace spacer or linking the necklaces together to avoid tangling on your neck. Wearing chains of different lengths and materials will help keep your necklaces from getting tangled. 

There are several ways to get knots out of a platinum, silver or gold necklace. For thinner knotted chains, lay the necklace on a flat surface in a well-lit area. Then, use two needles, pins or even the pointy end of earring posts to begin separating the knot. It may take a few tries, but this is a popular way to get a necklace unknotted. You can also untangle your necklaces using a lubricating oil. Start by laying your necklace down on a clean, flat surface and then spread the chain out so you can clearly see the knots. Add the lubricant (such as baby oil) to the knot and use a needle to gently open and loosen the knot. 

Most necklaces are anywhere between 16 and 35 inches long. The most popular lengths are between 18 and 19 inches. Women’s necklaces are typically anywhere from 16-18 inches long, while men’s necklaces are a bit longer at 20-24 inches. Of course, you can choose whichever length is best for you.

Shorter necklaces, such as those between 15 and 17 inches are considered chokers. These are necklaces that fit more snugly.

There are many chain types available for men’s and women’s necklaces. Cable chains are the most popular type, offering the perfect support for pendants. Other popular types include Cuban chains and paper clip necklaces.

Personalized necklaces are some of the most popular options! They include simple necklaces, such as engraved bars, or more ornate and dainty diamond necklaces. Many have pendants with personal elements such as diamond initials or zodiac symbols. Customized lockets are also making a style comeback.
