Sleeping with a Necklace: My Experience and Safety Tips

I've always loved wearing jewelry, and sometimes, taking it off before bed feels like a chore. I've wondered, is it really safe to sleep with a necklace on? What started as a simple convenience has turned into a journey of discovery, filled with a few close calls and some valuable lessons learned. Let me share my experiences and what I've picked up along the way.

My Adventures (and Misadventures) with Necklaces at Night

For years, I've been sleeping with my favorite necklace, a delicate 1mm cable chain with a small, stationary pendant. I barely notice it's there. I got so used to it that it became part of my nightly routine. I'd change my jewelry during the day, but this particular necklace stayed put. I never really thought about the potential dangers, until I started noticing something was off.

One day, I was inspecting my necklace and I noticed that the little rings connecting the clasp were bent out of shape! I was shocked. I hadn’t noticed anything was wrong. I realized I was incredibly lucky that I hadn't lost the necklace already. This made me rethink my habit of sleeping with it.

Another thing I considered was the "choking hazard" aspect. I know, it sounds dramatic! Someone even asked if you'd die choking and not wake up unless you were an opiate user or blackout drunk. While that's a bit extreme, the thought did cross my mind. It's probably no more dangerous than sleeping in a hoodie, but still something to think about.

Finding Solutions: Soldering and Alternative Styles

After noticing the bent rings on my necklace, I knew I needed to take action. A friend suggested that I get those rings soldered closed. Apparently, that's a common issue with delicate chains, and soldering them makes them much more secure. This way, I wouldn’t have to worry about the necklace falling off in my sleep and potentially getting lost. It was a simple fix that gave me peace of mind.

I also started exploring different styles of necklaces for everyday wear, something that would be comfortable and secure enough to wear 24/7. That's when I stumbled upon Blingcharming's homepage. They have a great selection of chokers and necklaces that are both stylish and seem pretty durable.

I even found this 1pc Creative Choker Vintage Rock Collar Punk Goth Style Heart Rivet Decor Choker Leather Necklace Jewelry Accessories on Blingcharming. It's a bolder style than I usually go for, but I was intrigued by the design and the fact that it seems really secure.

I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The leather is soft and comfortable against my skin, and the rivet details add a cool, edgy vibe. It feels very secure, and I’ve been wearing it almost constantly. It's definitely a statement piece, and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. It's nice to have found something that feels safe and stylish enough to wear all the time. When choosing a necklace, consider if it will be something you like to sleep in.

Practical Tips for Sleeping with Jewelry

Based on my experiences, here are a few practical tips for sleeping with jewelry:

• Choose the right style: Opt for delicate chains with minimal embellishments. Avoid anything bulky or with sharp edges.
• Check the clasp regularly: Make sure the clasp is secure and the rings are not bent or damaged.
• Consider soldering: If you have a favorite necklace that you wear often, consider getting the rings soldered for added security.
• Think about the material: Softer materials like leather or fabric might be more comfortable to sleep in than metal.
• Listen to your body: If you feel any discomfort or irritation, take the jewelry off.

Here's a quick overview of the potential pros and cons:
