How to Choose the Right 925 Sterling Silver Necklace: The MÖHYA Signature® Style Guide
The Necklace That Speaks Before You Do
Some jewellery simply sits on your neck as if it has always belonged there. The perfect necklace isn't the one that shines brightest in the display case — it's the one that, when you put it on, makes you feel complete.
At MÖHYA Signature®, we believe a necklace is much more than an accessory. It's an extension of your personality, a silent declaration of who you are and what you value. Every piece we create is born from an intention — and that's what transforms it into a true designer jewel.
Different Necklace Styles — Which One Is Yours?
There are various necklace lengths and styles, and each communicates something different. Before choosing, it's important to understand what each type offers to your look and your daily life.
Choker (30–40 cm)
Hugs the neck closely and is ideal for V-necks or round necklines. Elegant and modern, it's the perfect choice for those who want to make a subtle but powerful statement. The Tiger Eye Necklace and the Picasso Jasper Choker are exactly this length.
Princess Necklace (40–50 cm)
The classic length par excellence. It falls on the collarbone and works with almost all necklines. It's the most versatile necklace in your wardrobe — and one of the MÖHYA Signature® community's favourites. Ideal for daily wear, Monday to Sunday. This includes the SÄND Necklace, in pearls and silver with zirconia, and the ÖNDA Pendant.
Matinee Necklace (50–60 cm)
Falls below the décolletage, perfect for more sophisticated looks or for layering with shorter necklaces. Ideal for days when you want to make an effortless statement — whether at an important meeting or a special dinner. Combine a 925 silver chain with your preferred pendant.
Opera and Lariat Necklace (60 cm+)
Bold statements for standout looks. They can be worn knotted or with a pendant to create unique effects that no one else will have. For those who aren't afraid to be noticed. The 5 cm 925 silver extender allows you to reach this length from a shorter chain.
Consult our Complete Guide to Necklace Sizes to find the ideal length for your body and lifestyle.
925 Silver: The Material That Elevates Any Necklace
When we talk about quality in jewellery, the choice of material is fundamental — and this is where many brands fall short. At MÖHYA Signature®, we work exclusively with 925 sterling silver, the purest and highest quality alloy used in artisanal designer jewellery.
The designation "925" indicates that the piece is composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of other metals, giving the alloy the necessary resistance without compromising silver's unmistakable beauty or shine.
A handmade 925 silver necklace offers:
- Real durability — resists daily wear when properly cared for
- Safety for sensitive skin — hypoallergenic and contrast-certified
- Timelessness — doesn't follow seasonal trends, defines your permanent style
- Intrinsic value — unlike gold or silver-plated materials, it maintains its integrity over time
It's the foundation of all MÖHYA Signature® jewellery — and the reason our pieces last for decades, not seasons. An investment that becomes an heirloom.
How to Combine Necklaces with Your Look
The art of wearing necklaces lies in understanding how each piece interacts with your look and your body. Here are some practical guidelines we share with all MÖHYA Signature® customers:
- With a V-neck: opt for a pendant necklace in a drop or triangular shape — it follows the line of the neckline and visually elongates the neck. The TÏLE Pendant works well here.
- With a round neck: a choker or short princess necklace creates balance and defines the collarbone with discreet elegance.
- With a turtleneck: the necklace can and should be longer — a matinee or lariat makes all the difference by creating layers of visual interest.
- With a suit or blazer: a thin Venetian chain in 925 silver adds sophistication without overpowering — the secret of quiet luxury.
The Art of Layering: Create Your Unique Style
One of the most enduring trends in contemporary jewellery is layering — wearing several necklaces superimposed at different lengths. The result is a rich, personal, and completely unique look.
The secret is to combine distinct lengths: start with a choker close to the neck, add a princess necklace, and finish with a matinee-length one. Keep the metals the same — all in 925 silver — for a cohesive, harmonious, and premium-looking result. See the layered necklaces guide.
In MÖHYA Signature®'s LA PËRLA and CHËRRY collections, you'll find pieces designed to be worn together — like the SÄKURA Pendant.
The Artisanal Process Behind Every MÖHYA Signature® Necklace
Every MÖHYA Signature® necklace goes through a rigorous artisanal process, from the initial sketch to the final piece. We don't use industrial moulds or mass production — each piece is handcrafted in Portugal, with the dedication that only designer jewellery deserves.
Our pieces are crafted using traditional goldsmithing techniques, adapted to contemporary and timeless design. Every link, every pendant, every clasp is manually checked — because we believe quality is seen in the details that most people will never notice, but which make all the difference in the longevity and character of the piece.

The Necklace as a Gift with Soul
To give a necklace is to offer something that will stay close to the heart — literally. It is one of the most intention-filled gifts you can choose, whether for a birthday, Mother's Day, or simply because that person deserves to be celebrated.
Each MÖHYA Signature® necklace is delivered in designer packaging, ready to be gifted. If you're looking for something truly unique, you can also request a custom-made piece.
