Who doesn’t love jewelry right? But when it comes to gold jewelry, most of us often think too traditional, too heavy or too outdated, right? While diamond and polki jewelry is all the rage lately, let’s not forget the grace and style quotient that has been associated with gold jewelry for ages. If you’re someone who avoids gold jewelry because of its heavy weight, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s how you can style a lightweight gold necklace with anything and everything. From navratna and diamond studded to long and layered pieces, we’ve got it all covered for you.

Best Lightweight Gold Necklace Designs

Dainty Gold Necklace for Work

Who says jewelry isn’t for work? The easiest way to take your work outfit up a notch is to add dainty gold accessories like a necklace, earrings, or bracelet. For work, the perfect gold necklace would be a lightweight chain. It could be layered or with a small pendant or charms. This accessory will add a dressiness to your otherwise simple work outfit. Make sure you don’t layer too much or wear something OTT. Simple, elegant pieces are great for work and can also be styled for after work events. They are not just stylish, but also super lightweight and easy to carry all day long on your hectic schedules. Adding a simple, lightweight gold necklace will definitely amp up your office look and will help you make a lasting impression!

Temple Jewelry, but Lightweight

Temple jewelry is one of the most common variants of gold jewelry. It involves elaborate yet intricate symbols of various Indian gods and goddesses. These are typically heavy pieces and are worn mostly for functions. However, when it comes to lightweight gold necklace designs, you can get a temple design customized to your liking and choice. There are many designs that are lightweight and just as gorgeous. These are ideal for events like weddings, poojas, receptions etc, and can be worn with beautiful Indian attire. Female deities like goddess Laxmi are engraved beautifully into the design. The unique part about temple jewelry is that it is made of only gold and doesn’t have any diamonds or colored stones. 

Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend

You’re going to love this, we’re super sure. For all your fancy occasions, get yourself a lightweight gold necklace with diamonds. Diamonds can jazz up any outfit, there’s no doubt about that. And when it comes to gold necklaces, diamonds add class, style and just the right amount of bling. These necklaces will be great for formal events like weddings, parties, pooja ceremonies etc. You can style this necklace up with matching earrings, bangles and rings. And for an OTT Indian shaadi look, you can even add a gold and diamond maan tikka. If you’re not looking at spending a lot, you can opt for American diamond or zircon for more budget friendly options.

Lightweight Gold Necklace with Colored Stones and Pearls

If diamonds aren’t your thing or if you’re looking for something unique to add to your collection, go for lightweight gold necklaces with colored stones or pearls. While temple jewelry or an all gold necklace is not everyone’s cup of tea, adding a touch of color can instantly glam up the jewelry. This type of jewelry is slightly more budget friendly as well since the colored stones can be semi-precious ones. These are suitable for daily wear, outings, functions – depending on how heavy or light the necklace is. One of the most popular gold necklaces are navratna necklaces. These are necklaces that have nine different gems or ratnas. They are quite popular in many southern, and south-eastern Asian cultures as a symbol of wealth and status.

Layered Gold Necklaces for a Stylish Look

If you’re not into ethnic jewelry, here’s a super chic and stylish option for you. Layer your lightweight gold necklaces for a trendy look. You can get dainty gold necklaces in various lengths and layer them two-three of them together. Alternatively, you can ready-made multi layered necklaces. These go super well with Indian outfits and specifically deeper necklines. In fact, you can sport this style with wide collared shirts as well. Pro tip, combine thinner chains with thicker chains. For example, you can layer a thicker choker with a thin, long necklace. You will definitely be turning some heads as these accessories are sure to amp up your outfit. Plus points, you can style these with western wear too for an Indo western trendy look. 

Sleek Gold Pendants with Chain

When it comes to lightweight gold necklace, you can’t always go for sets or chokers. Try styling lightweight pendants for a different look. When it comes to accessorising, a gold pendant may be highly adaptable because it can create a distinct style when matched with the proper clothing. When selecting a gold pendant, there are several factors to consider, including the varied designs and the type of gold used. Wearing gold pendants can always help add a little flair to the neckline.

When wearing any type of pendant, keep the following stylistic suggestions in mind. Keep an eye on the chain. Some of the larger pendants, such as navratna pendant or a token pendant, should be worn with a thicker chain. However, if a delicate locket is being styled, the chain should be delicate and slender. Wearing more than one necklace or pendant at a time is a faus pax. Instead, spend a few moments to decide which one is appropriate for the occasion. Lastly, maintain the gold pendant well. You don’t want to wearing a dull looking pendant afterall.

Long Gold Necklaces for Indian Wear

When it comes to Indian wear, long necklaces are the perfect match. These can be lightweight, stylish and ethnic. Best styled with suits and sarees, long gold necklaces can be worn as is and don’t need to be layered. These come in many variants including diamond studded, with colored stones, temple jewlery and many more. Choose what suits your mood and outfit the best and style it with confidence. Make sure you wear matching earrings and ring and all your jewelry is the same gold polish. Combining different polishes like gold with rose gold or white can look mismatched and off putting. You can wear these for any semi-formal or formal event.
