Avon Costume Necklaces and Pendants
From a simple chain to an elaborate statement necklace, a piece of costume jewellery can enhance any outfit.
The Avon brand dates back to 1886. It was launched in the United States by a travelling bookseller who discovered that his customers were keen to buy beauty products.
Why choose a costume necklace or pendant?
Avon costume necklaces and pendants are designed to give the impression of a luxury item of jewellery but at a fraction of the cost. They are sometimes plated with real silver or gold, but are more often finished with a gold or silver effect coating.
Some necklaces are embellished with imitation gems such as rhinestones or diamante, creating a sparkling effect ideal for partywear. Simulated pearls are also used and can offer a more formal look. Other pieces of costume jewellery may feature enamel or beads and are suitable for a more casual style.
Costume pendants are designed to hang on a chain, ribbon or leather thong to create a necklace. They are available in many shapes, styles and colours, from brightly coloured hearts to crystal encrusted teddy bears. Several pendants can be worn together to give a cluster effect.
Which type of necklace?
There are many different types of Avon costume necklaces to choose from. From a close-fitting choker to a long string of beads, they can offer a range of looks. It helps to consider the style and neckline of the outfit you wish to wear before selecting a type of necklace.
Collar necklaces are suitable to wear with collarless tops and dresses. They sit where a traditional collar would be and are sometimes designed to look like a sparkling collar. Statement necklaces usually hang just below the neck and are often bright and bold to draw the eye.
Chains are available in a range of lengths and styles, including rope, box and snake designs. They are ideal for teaming with a costume pendant.
