Today I’m gonna talk about how I got myself a Tony Soprano style necklace. You know, from that show, The Sopranos? I’ve always dug Tony’s style, especially that gold chain he’s always wearing. So, I decided to get one for myself.
First off, I started looking into what kind of necklace Tony actually wears. I found out that he’s got this thin gold chain with a St. Jerome medallion. Apparently, in the first season, he also had a thicker chain with a crucifix, but the St. Jerome one is his main thing. So, I focused on that.
Finding the Right Style
I’m no jewelry expert, so I did some digging online. I learned about different types of necklace chains. There’s a bunch of them, but I was trying to find something similar to Tony’s. It’s pretty thin and simple. Also, I had to figure out what kind of metal would be best. Gold seemed like the obvious choice, but there’s different kinds of gold, too. I wanted it to look authentic, you know?
Choosing the Right Size and Metal
Next up, I had to think about the size. I didn’t want to get something too big or too small. I measured my neck and did some more research online to figure out what size would look right. And for the metal, I decided to go with real gold, probably 14k or something. It’s a good balance of quality and price. I found that Italy is well-known for its jewelry, so an Italian gold chain seemed like the way to go.
Adding the Pendant
Now, for the pendant. I started looking for a St. Jerome medallion. I found a few online stores that sell religious items like that. Some were pretty cheap, but I wanted something that looked decent and wouldn’t fall apart after a few weeks. I ended up finding a nice one that looked similar to Tony’s. It wasn’t too expensive, either.
Putting It All Together
Once I had the chain and the pendant, I put them together. It was pretty easy, just had to attach the pendant to the chain. I tried it on, and man, it looked pretty good. It’s got that same vibe as Tony Soprano’s, but it’s also my own style, you know?
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’m really happy with it. It’s a cool piece of jewelry, and it reminds me of one of my favorite TV characters. Plus, it’s a nice conversation starter. People ask me about it all the time. It’s not just a necklace; it’s like a little piece of that Sopranos world that I can carry around with me.
So, yeah, that’s how I got my Tony Soprano necklace. It was a fun little project, and I learned a bit about jewelry along the way. If you’re a fan of The Sopranos or just like the style, I definitely recommend getting one. It’s a simple but stylish piece that adds a bit of flair to any outfit.
