Recently, I have noticed a lot of people wear dragonfly necklace around their necks. I am one of those who really adore jewelries with dragonfly pendants because there is just something mystical about this creature. I just think they are so beautiful and magical and the beauty that they possess is incomparable to any other flying creature out there. I particularly prefer necklaces with dragonfly pendant more than other jewelry pieces with dragonfly design because they can easily grab the attention of other people.
Sterling Silver Dragonfly Necklace
Nowadays, I see dragonfly pendants being made from different materials such silver, gold and beads. But I am a firm believer of wearing real elemental jewelry such as gold and silver because they last longer and are definitely worth the investment. They may cost more than costume jewelry and those made of beads but can definitely last for hundreds of years. Silver is one of the many metallic elements dragonfly pendants can be made of. I like the glint of silver against my pale skin which is why I like jewelries made of such a lot. With buying silver dragonfly pendants, I always recommend going for one that is 92.5% silver. Silver is a very soft metal which is why it needs alloys to harden it, which is also why you can’t find jewelries that are 100% silver. 92.5% silver is probably the highest quality silver jewelry you can find because it is hard enough to hold its shape and doesn’t tarnish easily. So if you are on the lookout for silver dragonfly pendants, look for one that has an engraved 92.5% on it.
Gold Dragonfly Necklace
But if you have more money to spend, go for gold ones instead. Gold is definitely the most expensive metallic element used in making jewelry because it is rarer than silver. I actually like white gold more than yellow gold because it is the rarest of them all, but is also the most expensive. Aside from that, gold prices will always increase so if you decide to sell your gold dragonfly pendant in the future, you can definitely sell it at a higher price than what you aid for today. Aside from that, gold has a particular glint to it that many women adore. It never fails to make anyone look so classy and sophisticated in an instant.
Costume Dragonfly Jewelry
But if you barely have the means to afford real elemental jewelry, there are quite a few good quality costume jewelry with dragonfly pendants that you can find. They won’t last as long as you want them to, but if you can take care of them properly, they will last you for quite a long time (but not as long as real jewelry). You can find great affordable ones at department stores or Forever 21 and H&M.
A Dragonfly On Your Neck
Dragonfly pendants will definitely be one of my most favorite pieces of jewelry of all time. It is a timeless design that I can use for many more years to come. If you want it to last for a long time, I suggest buying real dragonfly necklace instead as the quality and design will last for hundreds of years to come.
