hi everyone welcome back to my channel if you're new hello it's me my name is
Christine and today I'm finally going to be sharing with you guys my whole
necklace collections my favorites where I get everything the tea it has been
one of the most highly requested videos and finally I thought I would sit down
and kind of just go in-depth about my entire collection so if you're
interested in hearing some of my favorite pieces where I got everything
and all of that first make sure you hit the subscribe button if you haven't
already and a little nerdy and a little notification belt and without further
ado let's go ahead and get into the video so I just filmed a makeup tutorial
on this look and it will be up after this one is but I'll probably put
together a shorty little Instagram clip so make sure you guys follow me on
Instagram before I forget I am wearing the beauty blender foundation on my face
I used to hoola bronzer and then on my eyes I use the hooter Beauty topaz
obsessions this is brand-new and I freaking love so I use that palette for
my eyes I'm using the House of lashes iconic lashes and then on my lips I'm
wearing em cosmetics lip cream in morning mocha that is all the makeups
that I'm wearing because I always forget to link it down below also before we go
ahead and get started I apologize if it sounds a little bit loud the TV's on in
the living room and for some reason they have it turn on so all the neighbors can
hear also before we get into it I first want to talk about like what I look for
in jewelry i buy all of my jewelry gold-filled
if you get gold plated it is pretty much like a metal or some miscellaneous
material of jewelry and it is just dipped quickly and gold and so gold
plated has a point zero zero zero zero one percent of actual gold in it and so
it doesn't really last very long as soon as that outer layer of gold kind of
wears off you have the tarnish looking necklaces and so especially if I'm going
to be spending money on necklaces I want something that lasts through a couple
wears I want something that I can keep on throughout my showers when I go
swimming gold-filled usually has a higher percentage of gold it mainly
depends the company as well but gold-filled
usually has like 0.3% gold or something like that a little bit more than
gold-plated and it just generally lasts a lot longer that's just a little bit on
that every time I go to like flea markets or boutiques I will go ahead and
ask is this gold filled or is it gold plated it's gold plated I'm not even
gonna buy it because I know it's only gonna last me a few wears before it
tarnishes so let's go ahead and first talk about what I'm wearing so we are
getting real close and personal but this first chain right here is actually a
dual layered necklace and it's from a brand called Mei Martin it's absolutely
gorgeous I love how dainty the chains are and it just looks good with
everything I also love that it's dual chain this bottom chains also from
Myanmar and it has a little like Mary or figure on it I actually have someone
asked me if I was Catholic because I always wore like religious symbols next
up I want to talk about this because it is something that I do not like this is
from dog-eared this is actually plated and you can tell because it started
tarnishing this used to be like a really pretty silver I wore this necklace all
the time can you believe that dog-eared is not filled like you pay so much for
dog-eared and all of it is plated so just an FYI I think they're cute gift
ideas but they just do not last a long time
okay the next two that I want to talk about our little chakras and these are
actually two individual necklaces they're both from a Martin and I
actually love their stuff everything's so dainty and really really pretty so
this cross choker is super cute these little crosses are so tiny and I
actually love layering this with a lot of my necklaces here this one is small
chain also from a Martin this is the last one from me Martin is just a little
crescent moon I love this one also very cute for layering and if you don't like
those like religious ones this is also a really good one to have this one here is
from dog-eared I used to wear this one all the time and these are actually
little pearls that are on it but stopped wearing it because it tarnished and I
don't know if you can kind of see from the color but it used to be gold and now
it's kind of a like rusty color so I don't even wear it anymore
okay these next ones are a little bit chunkier but this is the vibe that
you're going for I really like how like cool these look and push with like a
baggy t-shirt this one here is from Etsy and don't kill me
actually swap out my chains and so I will take pendants up along on different
necklaces and layer them onto different chains and that way if you kind of want
to layer your necklaces and some of them are like the same length I like to layer
short medium to long and so if I have a pendant that I really want to wear but
the chain is like the same length as another one I'll actually put it on a
shorter or longer chain so that way we get that layered effect that's just one
trick for you guys that way you don't have to buy a ton of different necklaces
you can just make sure you're buying ones on like slightly varying chain so
that way you can layer all of them this one is from Etsy I don't remember if
this is the actual chain that it came on she does like little initials and I
think that is so cute so i had a little scene and this one is lowercase I
believe you if you get Capital One's they're much much bigger and as you can
see it's kind of a good size right now like I would not want it to be any
bigger than the way it is this one is gold-plated because it did kind of rust
but I like this one because it actually rusted in a nice way if that makes sense
this one I also got from Etsy I like that this is kind of a like box chain
because it just looks like one whole thing versus these you can see all the
little Lupe's I don't really know like terminology and all that so please don't
clock me this one has Mary on it and it's just a really good pendant to have
for layering I think this used to have a pendant on
it but now I just wear it on its own and also from Etsy and I'll go ahead and
link everything down below in the order that I talk about it as well again next
we have some more ball chain this first one is from Etsy but oh my gosh look how
bad it tarnished I've also had it for a very very long time but I loved it when
I had it because I feel like the pendant size is perfect compared to the other
pendant that I have it is just like so much smaller so I really like the size
of this one I wish it just didn't tarnish and I've worn this one for the
same amount of time and it's still like a good gold colors it sucks because
everything that I order off of Etsy I look for gold filled but if it tarnishes
like this it's clearly not gold filled this is actually the back side of it so
I put it on backwards this next one is also another one of the first necklaces
I purchased off Etsy and I believe it's from the same sellers that big chunkier
pendant I love it stays gold I like that it's like a good circle it's kind of a
cool piece with and then this one here is also from
Etsy it's from a different seller and this one actually tarnished but it
tarnished to look like a cool silver color so I actually don't mind it and as
you can see here the two of them are kind of the same length so sometimes I
don't mind layering like that but I just prefer my chains to be a little bit more
like layers looking you know like that okay this is the last three that I'm
gonna talk to you guys about that I have this one I picked up from Etsy you can
have it say anything you want and this is at the time when I was like hi honey
and I said honey a lot I got a little necklace that says it and I just think
it's the cutest thing ever so I think that would be like a really
good gift up here I got a little square pendant also has Mary on it and I picked
this up at I think the Melrose trading post love this one I love how delicate
the chain is and the little pendant is so tiny and it's kind of a like unique
shape as well as to really like that one and then this one here is also from a
Mart and I didn't realize how much of me Martin I have but they just make really
good jewelry all the stuff that I have from them is actually gifted so here is
just another like Queen necklace and it just has like a face on it okay so that
is all of my necklaces that I have in my collection I hope you guys were able to
