Why, oh why???</p> <p>Some earrings are heavy, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-necklaces-multi-strand-pearls-etc#post-1607081 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:27:19 +0000 rachylou 1607081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what I don't understand about handbags. So many are so heavy empty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-necklaces-multi-strand-pearls-etc#post-1607071 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:03:06 +0000 Janet 1607071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've definitely thought about this when seeing some of the really heavily layered looks.&nbsp;</p> <p>And ditto to Ginger's comments about earring weight. I have one stretched out hole due to an unfortunate tugging incident many years ago, and I've switched to lighter, smaller earrings over the years. Sadly, many earrings just feel too heavy to me now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-necklaces-multi-strand-pearls-etc#post-1607061 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:39:45 +0000 Keix 1607061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're totally right. I have a brass bib necklace that I love but rarely wear because the weight starts being noticeable by lunchtime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-necklaces-multi-strand-pearls-etc#post-1607054 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 17:39:47 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1607054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a good point. I've gotten neck aches from heavy metal pieces. Not pearls ... But mine are all small scale </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-necklaces-multi-strand-pearls-etc#post-1607025 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 16:03:51 +0000 Ginger 1607025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is wise advice. You're right, a lot of handmade items use minerals and stones, which are inherently pretty heavy. The trend is also for a rough, chunky, bold look, which means such pieces are heavier.</p> <p>My mother is always very careful about the weight of earrings; she has a horror of getting long, stretched-out ear lobes like her mother's friends. ;)&nbsp; But I didn't consider that necklaces may also be painful. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-necklaces-multi-strand-pearls-etc#post-1607006 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:50:01 +0000 always trying 1607006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>after going thru &nbsp;all the great posts and responses about necklaces and pearls recently, I just have one thing to add,&nbsp; When you try these looks consider the weight of the whole thing.&nbsp; A heavier piece may cause a real discomfort on the back of your neck if worn for a longer period of time.&nbsp; I have some pendant and multi strand pieces that I can comfortably wear for only a short time.&nbsp; I always consider the weight when I purchase or make a piece. So much handmade stuff at shows are for show, not to be worn.&nbsp; Pearls and thinner chains are generally light weight and layer easily.&nbsp; When getting into pendants or adding broaches it can get quite weighty.</p>
