I brought myself a stainless steel cage crystal holder necklace (try saying that fast!) a couple of years ago and I couldn't be happier with it.
You can get these in stainless steel or gold. I opted for stainless steel because I thought it complemented the crystals I already had better than the gold one did.
I love being able to change out the crystals every day. For some people, this could be a fashion choice (and I'll admit I have changed them out a couple of times to complement my outfit).
I usually choose what crystal speaks to me on the day or what I feel I need for the day - crystals have different properties, such as protection and clarity.
I purchased my cage necklace at a market and it came with a crystal of my choice. It wasn't until I got home and decided to change the crystal out that the fun began!
It looks so simple to take a crystal out and add one in, but I found it was very fiddly to start with. This is the only downside to this necklace as you don't get any instructions with it! There is definitely a knack, but once you master it you have a very versatile piece of jewelry. I am glad I persevered with it as it's one of my favourite pieces of jewelry and I wear it most days.
I have noticed on Amazon that you can buy these necklaces as a set with crystals to get you started on your journey. If you're already a crystal lover like I am, then you will be happy with just the necklace on its own.
Do you like the idea of this versatile cage necklace? Another thing I love about this necklace is that you can use different crystal shapes as well. I have several polished oval and teardrop-shaped crystals that sit perfectly in the 'cage'. I also have a lot more irregularly shaped, unpolished crystals, and these fit nicely in the necklace cage.
What a lovely piece of jewelry. And, as you point out, so very versatile. This crystal cage necklace is new to me, so I appreciate the introduction. I love the idea of being able to change out the crystals for different looks. It makes one necklace become a whole wardrobe of necklaces. Very nice! Thanks, Louanne
ReplyDeleteWhat a great concept. I love being able to make it special with a complimentary choice of crystals. Good choice Louanne.
ReplyDeleteHow very cool and such an awesome way to always have a unique necklace. I've never collected crystals, or even studied their properties or meaning, but I love the idea of changing the crystal color or shape to suit.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved interchangeable jewelry components, and it’s great that you can swap out different crystals in this necklace.. I also appreciate the option of buying the cage necklace only or buying a starter set with crystals included. Nice choice, Louanne!
ReplyDeleteoh this is a fantastic idea - I know someone who is very much into crystals, I wonder if she has this? What a wonderful gift idea - I'm always keeping my eye open with all these reviews for potential gifts - this one is certainly a good idea!
ReplyDeleteWow! Interesting idea and a very nice fashion accessory that can be versatile as well.
