The sheer versatility of these druzy bars makes it possible to create stunning variations in your jewelry. Plus, since they are natural stone products, you get that special earthy beauty that adds elegance to every single look that you want to flaunt.
What exactly is druzy?
Also known as druse, drusy or drusie, these are natural gemstones that glitter and shimmer. Druzy refers to the tiny, sparkling crystals that form on the surface of a stone because of the minerals that are washed onto it by water. The underlying stone may be of any kind, for example agate. The water evaporates in time, leaving the mineral deposit which then forms a layer atop the stone surface. The end result is that the natural, underlying stone surface is still visible as the background for the glittering layer of druzy mineral that overlays it.
Depending on which mineral is forming the druzy, the color may vary from subtle white or pink to a glamorous blue or purple or a deep, mystic black.
Druzy bar necklace variations
The subtle elegance and shimmer of these stones ensure that they lend themselves beautifully to any design, setting or style. Add to this the fact that they come in some many colors, and you can see why these are so popular with the truly fashion conscious. That also means you can have a druzy bar necklace to match with every outfit you own without giving the impression that you have a limited accessories collection. Take a look at some design options for your druzy bar necklace:
Chain length variations: Go for an 18 inch Princess Chain to hang your druzy bar pendant from if you love to wear high necklines or crew necks. This chain length also works well with deep necklines so you have a lot of flexibility with this style. For formal occasions choose a slightly longer 20 inch chain which will place your druzy bar right at the V in a v neck business attire.
Chain material: Gold gives you the classic look- elegant, stylish and expensive at the same time. Platinum chains are another way to highlight class without being showy or glitzy. Understated elegance is what you are going for when you choose thin gold or platinum chains for your druzy bar pendant. Go with silver for a slightly more fun and casual look. Choose a chunkier chain for floral prints and a slim oxidized one for your regular jeans and shirt ensemble to add some weight to the ‘don’t mess with me’ look.
Orientation: The most popular choice is to hang your druzy bar pendant vertically and this is a great choice when you are wearing a deep neckline and want to draw attention to your long neck. But you can instantly get that ‘out of the ordinary’ look with a druzy bar hanging horizontally from your short chain. It gives you a choker type effect without any chunky, elaborate jewelry that can make your clothing look subdued.
