When it comes to women’s necklaces in Australia, there’s no shortage of styles. From delicate chains to bold pendants, the choices can feel endless. But how do you pick the perfect necklace that complements your outfit, personality, and occasion? This guide walks you through exactly how to choose the right necklace — with examples from Siara by Ark — to make your decision easier.

 

1. Understand Necklace Lengths

 

One of the first things to consider is length. Necklace lengths change how a piece sits on your body and what parts of your outfit it draws attention to.

• TARA || 0.15Ct CZ Diamond Solitaire Necklace sits beautifully at a princess length, making it ideal for everyday wear. Shop now
  
  

2. Match the Necklace to Your Outfit

 

Your clothing neckline is a major factor in choosing a necklace.

• V-neck or plunging neckline: Choose a pendant or Y-shaped necklace that mirrors the V shape.
  
  

• High neck or turtleneck: Go for long chains or bold pendants.
  
  

• Strapless / off-shoulder: Chokers or short statement pieces work best.
  
  

 

Siara by Ark example:

• For V-necks, the VIHANGA || 0.50Ct CZ Diamond Dragonfly Necklace draws the eye downward, elongating your look. See it here
  
  

3. Consider Face Shape

 

Your face shape can also influence how a necklace looks.

• Round face: Longer chains and pendants elongate the face.
  
  

• Square face: Softer curves, round pendants or heart shapes balance angles.
  
  

• Long face: Chokers or short necklaces add width visually.
  
  

 

Tip: This is why Australians are layering — it allows you to adjust the effect easily.

 

4. Think About Occasion & Lifestyle

 

Are you looking for a necklace you’ll wear daily, or a special piece for events?

• Everyday wear: Minimalist, durable styles like solitaires, paperclip chains, or small pendants.
  
  

• Special occasions: Statement pendants, layered looks, coloured stones.
  
  

• Workplace: Understated but elegant, like thin chains with subtle motifs.
  
  

Siara by Ark picks:

• Everyday: HEXARA || 1.05Ct CZ Diamond Necklace — a modern geometric piece that layers well. Shop now
  
  

• Occasion: CUORE || 2.30Ct CZ Diamond Necklace — heart motif, larger sparkle. View here
  
  

5. Metal & Skin Tone

 

Choosing the right metal colour can enhance your skin tone.

• Cool undertones: Silver, platinum, white gold work best.
  
  

• Warm undertones: Yellow gold or rose gold.
  
  

• Neutral undertones: Mixed metals for versatility.
  
  

 

Mixed metals are a big trend in jewellery for women in Australia right now — they let you wear more pieces without worrying about matching everything perfectly.

 

6. Add Meaning with Motifs or Birthstones

 

Symbolism is huge in 2025: Australians love necklaces that carry meaning — dragonflies for transformation, butterflies for freedom, hearts for love, fish tails for ocean vibes.

Siara by Ark examples:

• PISCA || Fish Tail CZ Diamond Necklace — ocean-inspired design. Buy here
  
  

• MONARCH || 1.5Ct CZ Diamond Butterfly Necklace — symbol of change and beauty. Shop now
  
  

7. Budget & Quality

 

When shopping for women’s necklaces in Australia, also consider your budget and the material quality.

• Lab-grown diamonds or CZ offer brilliant sparkle at a lower cost than mined stones.
  
  

• Sterling silver with rhodium plating is durable and hypoallergenic.
  
  

• Check the clasp quality and chain thickness for longevity.
  
  

Tip: All Siara by Ark necklaces are crafted from 925 sterling silver with premium CZ diamonds for maximum brilliance and durability — an easy way to enjoy luxury without overspending.
