Sexy Y Necklaces
Y necklaces are not a new design but have become very popular lately in fashion magazines and stores. They are shaped like a "Y" with a tail that dangles down the chest. They can be really long or short but either way, they draw the eyes down towards your chest! Sometimes they have more than one piece that dangles down on the tail and modern necklaces incorporate a gemstone at the end for interest.
Y necklaces were also quite popular in vintage and antique jewelry and were sometimes called lariats. They incorporate many elements but typically they were popular in the 1930's and 40's and consist of chains with beautifully cut glass stones that dangle down at the bottom.
They are also quite popular in all rhinestones and many a 1950's prom girl wore a rhinestone necklace with her gown.
Y necklaces go with almost every outfit but are particularly alluring with a V neck or button collar top. The lines of the necklace compliment the lines of the outfit and the whole ensemble works to draw the eyes down the length of the upper part of the body which can help your torso to appear longer. Of course, they also look lovely with off the shoulder gowns and can compliment any hair style.
The perfect accessory to wear with Y necklaces is long dangle earrings that match the composition of the necklace. They don't have to be a perfect match, but if you can get ones that have the same or complimentary stones at the bottom, you have a winner! If you really want fancy, some chandelier earrings could be a nice match, but I think the Y necklace has a more sleek and sophisticated look so a more simple earring is preferred.
Caring for Y necklaces is the same as for any jewelry. To keep them from getting scratched, make sure your stones don't clang against other pieces in the jewelry box - wether they are glass or gemstone. If they are gemstones, avoid cleaning with any chemicals and simply use mild soap and water if anything. Glass can be cleaned with a mild jewelry cleaner.
