Gold for good luck in 2012

January 11th, 2012

Happy New Year! We hope you had a great festive season and saw in 2012 in style.

As many of us are still recovering from our own New Year’s celebrations…a nation of over 1,000,000,000 is preparing for their own New Year’s Eve. The Chinese New Year is always an amazing spectacle but this year it will be better than ever as 2012 is the year of the Dragon and the lucky colour is yellow.

As the Chinese saying goes…Yellow generates Yin and Yang, implying that yellow/gold is the center of everything. In Chinese culture, yellow/gold aslo signifies good luck!

So in following the traditions of over 1,000,000,000 others…celebrate this New Year with yellow gold and get lucky.

A Beautiful 9ct Gold Graduation Gift

June 22nd, 2011

The arrival of a rainy Spring/Summer heralds the start of graduation season! Thousands of students will graduate this summer across the UK and in doing so will collectively embark on their new careers and lives as postgraduates. Graduation has always and  forever will be, a highly symbolic and traditional day in a student’s time at University and most of us as parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, friends, grandparents and god-parents…we will want to mark the special occasion in a similarly special, symbolic and traditional way.

Here at ChainsAndNecklaces, we think that a beautifully timeless and traditional 9ct Gold Prince of Wales necklace is simply the best gold graduation gift this summer for your loved one. Gold graduation gifts by their very nature are symbols of success and prosperity and we think that such symbolism is the most fitting way to mark the day.

Moreover your gold graduation necklace or graduation chain is so easily accessorised with a beautiful graduation pendent or graduation charm, that you can reward your loved on on graduation day with a truly unique and individual graduation gift.

Welcome to the ChainsAndNecklaces blog!

June 22nd, 2011

Welcome to the only official ChainsAndNecklaces blog, where we aim to bring you the latest developments in chain and necklace design, trends and product range giving you all the information and resources you need to make the best purchase possible.

Feel free to browse our website www.chainsandnecklaces.co.uk to get a good feel of our product range of stunning chains and necklaces in Sterling Silver, 9ct Yellow Gold, 9ct Rose Gold and 9ct White Gold.

We are passionate about our product and the timeless quality of chains and necklaces. Furthermore, with the resurgence of the hanging pendant in fashion halls across the world, we are dedicated to championing the unbeatable added value that the chain and necklace offers the consumer due to its sheer flexibility, durability and quality that transcends shifts in fashion across generations.

Our passion for precious metals is mirrored in cultural and social history across the world. India, the largest democracy in the world has arguably the richest, most diverse and aesthetically hypnotic cultural and social history of any other nation on the planet. Intertwined with this history are strong links with the creative arts, such as textiles. Indian textile is heralded as one of the most technically stunning and most ancient crafts in the world and not so long ago, women were given beautiful gold and silver threaded textile as part of their marriage dowries. Apart from being treasured artefacts, these textiles were also wholly practical as should these women have encountered challenging economic times in the future, they were able to burn the textile to extract the golden thread as molten precious metal, thus improving their economic situation.

Stories such as these inspire us at ChainsAndNecklaces and we believe that the nostalgia, fascination and shared history surrounding precious metal chains and necklaces is as strong today as it has ever been.
