Glow necklaces: they’re a fun way to jazz up any party outfit. Once upon a time, a big night out called for pearls and diamonds; now all you need to make yourself truly stand out in a crowd is a string of appealing, multi-coloured glow sticks. These shouldn’t just be used for ‘glowsticking,’ or waving around on the dance floor while you boogie, but when the ends are snapped, can be easily fitted together at the ends to make a long string that glows right the way through. These trendy fashion accessories are growing in popularity, as people are increasingly keen on big all-night partying, but at the same time they are struggling with the recession which has caused a drying up of funds for more elaborate jewels. Fortunately, cool doesn’t come with the price tag it used to.

Glow sticks were originally developed for the use of the United States Navy, for lone divers, ships in distress, or operatives working in difficult or dangerous combat zones. This is why they’re one of the safest things to have around. It’s true that they can make a mess if broken, and you probably shouldn’t eat them… But these are some of the safest, as well as the prettiest and cheapest, ornaments to have around. After all, the reason why the United States Army developed and continues to use them is because of their extreme safety in all conditions. The little glow sticks that make up your glow necklaces won’t, like electricity or battery-fuelled lights, explode and can’t be ignited, unlike normal flashlights which contain electrified filaments. There is no danger of them ‘sparking.’ Glow sticks can also be used underwater, as they are resistant to extremely high levels of pressure, including deep water pressure – which is why divers find them so useful. Glow sticks are so safe, practical, and easy to use that they’ve been tested for use in speculoscopy, an invasive medical surgical procedure.

In day to day life, though, you’re more likely to find glow necklaces to a party, after-dark concert or night club. They are extremely popular with party animals due to their enchanting lights, cheapness, safety, and transportability! If you slip a packet of glow necklaces in your handbag or backpack, you’ll be sure to be entertained all night. At the millennium celebrations on the 31st of January, 1999, millions of glow sticks were used across the world! Seeing in the New Year proudly wearing an array red, green, orange, yellow, blue and pink glow necklaces is an experience that many of us have had at some time in our lives.

However, grown up party animals are also using them, for the very same reasons. Glow sticks can be found in decorative lighting for house parties, whether in the home or in the garden. Their energy efficiency, which makes them a positive choice for those concerned about the environment, is a further plus. And little children wearing glow necklaces are easy to find, which is why you’ll find so many glow sticks now carried by children at outdoor night time events such as New Year or Fireworks Night. After all, the glow stick necklaces are safe, lightweight, comfortable, and cool – making kids love to wear them. For parents, there’s an added security in knowing your child is illuminated, just as there is in being able to see your best friend’s face in a dark club. So whatever age you’re currently at, chances are you’ll use a glow stick at least once this year.
