I've been wearing the Vintage Sweet Choker Weave Pearls Choker Heart Colorful Beaded Irregular Flowers Rhinestone Necklace for Women Jewelry 2, which I bought thinking it could pass as a necklace for men real gold (or at least look like it), from Blingcharming for 90 days. Here's my day-by-day breakdown of my experience with this necklace. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, but I've been pleasantly surprised.
The necklace arrived in a small plastic bag. The packaging was simple, but the necklace itself looked pretty good. It had a nice weight to it. The colors were bright. I was a little worried it would look cheap, but it didn't at first glance. My first thought was, "Okay, this might actually work." It definitely wasn't a genuine necklace for men real gold, but it had potential.
The pearls and beads seemed securely attached. I gave them a gentle tug. No problems. The clasp felt sturdy enough. The main thing I noticed right away was the color. It was much more vibrant in person than it looked online. I was hoping it wouldn’t fade quickly.
Verdict: Initial quality is better than expected. Worth wearing out.
I started wearing the necklace every day. It quickly became part of my usual outfit. I got a few compliments on it. People seemed to like the pop of color. I wore it while working, going out with friends, and even to a casual date. No one seemed to suspect it wasn't a high-end piece. It wasn't a necklace for men real gold, but it fooled some people.
I noticed the clasp was a bit fiddly at first. It took a few tries to get it closed. After a few days, I got the hang of it. I also realized the necklace was a bit shorter than I usually wear. It sat right at my collarbone. It took a few days to adjust to that. I worried about it catching on my beard, but that wasn't an issue.
Verdict: Comfortable enough for daily wear. Minor clasp issue is manageable.
After a month of daily wear, the necklace was holding up surprisingly well. The colors hadn't faded at all. None of the beads had fallen off. The clasp was still working fine. I was starting to think I got a really good deal. I made sure to take it off before showering and sleeping, which I think helped preserve its quality. I began to think of it as my "lucky" necklace. While still not a necklace for men real gold, I had grown attached to it.
One unexpected discovery was how easy it was to clean. I just used a soft cloth to wipe it down every few days. This kept it looking shiny and new. I also learned that it pairs well with different outfits. It looks great with a simple t-shirt and jeans, but it also works with a more dressed-up look.
