While earrings and bracelets are usually meant to add an understated charm to your style statement, it’s the rings and the necklaces that hold the potential to add drama and glamour. Necklaces are an essential accessory for those who want to keep up with the ever evolving jewellery fashion. While a lot of designs come and go, there are some that never really go out of style. Here’s our take on the 10 most popular necklace designs for women – do you have them in all in your jewellery box?
1. The antique piece
Every jewellery box must have a vintage looking necklace that is guaranteed to add a layer of elegance and mystery to your ensemble. Bonus points if it’s an actual family heirloom that brings a story along with it!
2. Inverted moon pendant – or a similar popular shape
Inverted moon pendants are all the rage nowadays, and we are quite sure they’re here to stay just like other popular shapes such as hearts, stars and keys. These shapes all hold a high attraction value, will go with almost anything – even the baggiest of your t-shirts – and can be easily swapped around with family and friends.
