Find the Piece That Finds You: A SYMARA Necklace Primer

Let’s be honest. A necklace isn’t something you just put on. It’s something you wear in. It becomes part of your landscape—the delicate chain you finger when you’re thinking, the pendant that rests just so. At SYMARA, our work begins with that feeling. We craft not just jewelry, but companions for your days. Consider this your personal guide from our studio to your jewelry box.

Studio Notes: What We’ve Learned at the Bench

You pick up a few truths after years of fitting chains and listening to stories. Here’s what we share when someone asks us, “How do I choose?”

The “Second Skin” Test for Everyday Pieces

The finest everyday necklace should forget it’s there. It’s not about being fragile; it’s about being forgiving. We achieve this by using a slightly heavier gauge of wire for our fine chains and soldering every jump ring shut. It’s the difference between a piece that lasts a season and one that lasts decades.

The One-Third Rule for Pendants

Choosing a pendant necklace? Here’s a quick studio trick: the pendant should occupy about one-third of the total space from your collarbone to the neckline of your top. Any larger, and it can overwhelm; any smaller, and it may get lost. It’s a simple proportion that guarantees balance.

Why Gold Overlay Isn’t a Shortcut

Many start with gold-plated pieces, but in our workshop, we often guide clients toward solid sterling silver necklaces or vermeil (thick gold over sterling) for daily wear. The reason? Honest wear. A solid piece develops a patina; a thin plating wears away. We’d rather you have something that ages gracefully than something that simply ages out.

Curated for Your Moments, Not Just Your Outfit

We think about life when we design. Our collection is grouped by the role a piece plays, making it easier to find your match.

The Anchor Piece: Your Go-To Chain

Every collection needs a foundation. This is a supremely versatile chain necklace—a rope, figaro, or cable link—in a precious metal. It’s for days when you want just a whisper of light at your neck, or when you need a base for layering. It’s the unsung hero.

The Heirloom in the Making: Personal Tokens

This is where metal holds memory. A birthstone necklace with your child’s gem, a personalized necklace with coordinates, a locket with a secret photograph. In our custom workshop, we see these not as orders, but as collaborations. These pieces become the anniversary gift necklace that outshines all others, because it speaks a private language.

Building a Narrative: The Layered Composition

The modern uniform isn’t one piece, but a curated stack. The art of layering necklaces is in contrast: mix a slender choker with a longer pendant, a textured chain with a smooth one. We design our pieces with varied clasp positions (some sit at the back, some at the side) so they lay flat and don’t tangle—a small detail that makes all the difference.

The SYMARA Foundation: Integrity in the Invisible

The beauty you see is a promise backed by what you don’t.

  • Our gemstones are hand-selected for color and clarity, not just weight. A well-cut stone in our diamond necklace selections catches light from every angle, which is why we prioritize cut grade above all.

  • Every finding, from clasp to jump ring, is either solid gold or sterling silver. We never use base metal internals—it’s the jewelry equivalent of a solid foundation in a home.

  • The final polish is done with agate-tipped tools, a slower method that burnishes rather than scratches, giving the metal a deeper, lasting glow.

Start Where It Feels Right

There’s no wrong entry point. Maybe it’s the perfect chain necklace that’s been missing from your wardrobe. Perhaps it’s a personalized pendant to mark a turning point. Or maybe you’re ready to master the art of the layered look.

Real Questions from Our Clients:​

We always recommend starting with our sterling silver or 14k gold pieces. Both are excellent for sensitive skin. We avoid nickel in all our alloys. For absolute certainty, a platinum piece is the most hypoallergenic choice we offer.

What a wonderful role! Elegance and comfort are key. A multi-strand pearl necklace or a sophisticated pendant necklace with a single, elegant gemstone is classic. The goal is to complement, not compete. We often suggest pieces that feel special but won’t distract on an emotional day.

A practical headache! Our jewelers’ trick is simple: hang them. A small wall hook or the back of a door works. If you must store them flat, lay each one separately on a soft cloth, never piled. For travel, feed the chain through a straw and fasten the clasp, or use individual silicone pouches.
