Types of necklaces and necklaces, their difference

For someone there is no difference how to call the jewelry on the neck - a necklace or a necklace. But if you consider yourself a fashionable girl, then it is important for you to know the difference between these beautiful and beloved jewelry. Indeed, they are often confused, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish them from one another.

How does a necklace differ from a necklace?

The word "necklace" comes from the Old Slavic word - "mouth", which meant the neck, or rather, "throat." It turns out "necklace" - this is something around the throat. In Russia, a necklace was called a collar or collar of chain mail, and then they began to call various ornaments that were worn around the neck.

The necklace  came from France, and also means “collar” in translation. It turns out, it seems, the same thing, but in fact the necklace and necklace in Russian are used to name different neck jewelery. It now remains to figure out which one is a necklace, and which one is a necklace.

Necklace - necklace in the form of a chain with inserts of precious stones or beads, mounted in a frame. The frame can be made of precious or non-precious metals. The links of the frame make up the product as a whole, which can be a flexible or rigid structure. Inserts in the necklace can be homogeneous or close to homogeneity, the same applies to the size of the inserts. All elements in the decoration are distributed over the entire length relatively evenly.

Necklace is a decoration of a more complex design, in which the central part has the most pronounced decorative effect, and stands out for its size. As central elements there can be stones, crystals, beads, various kinds of pendants - medallions, pendants, amulets, brushes, etc. The central part can be made as a single element, usually massive, or a group of elements.
