The Long or the Short of It

By Jan Sinclair on Monday, February 13, 2012

For the last four years jewellery designers have been trying to convince us to wear long, long necklaces.  At Jive, both in our Noosa store and online, our customers have largely resisted and continue to favour collar length pieces in most of their choices. 

Despite the claim that ‘everyone in Europe’ is wearing them long - believe me I lived in Europe for 10 years and ‘everyone’ never follows a trend there no matter what the beauty industry tries to tell Aussies! -  many women have made up their own mind not to comply. They are steadfastly refusing to move the focus away from the neck, shoulders and face on south to the bust and waist!

Jive has no opinion either way and we continue to offer and wear both ourselves, but do our customers have a point?  Is it a good idea to move the focus further away from our faces?  Do we really want people looking at and talking to our navels? And do we want our jewellery to compete with the clothing we are wearing, or do we want it to bring a little light and shine to the skin of our décolletage?  Tell me; what’s your choice – long or short?
