Silver Necklaces That Are Second to None

Gold may hold the title for most sought-after necklace—but only in the Olympics. In fashion, silver is second to none. Able to vault from elegant to eclectic, if you are looking for necklaces that will polish off any outfit, look to an illustrious silver one.

All competing for a place in your jewelry box, here are the reasons silver necklaces score serious style points:

Charmed

Silver has an understated elegance that makes it feel precious. If you are looking for charms such as hearts, meaningful symbols or other treasured tokens, choose ones in silver and hang them from a thin chain. The desaturated metallic will make it easy to wear a sentimental necklace  discreetly, so you can always have it with you. Slip it under your shirts for work or pull it out to dress up your crew neck tee and jeans on the weekend.

Illuminated

Diamonds are silver’s best friend. An icy-hued, dynamic duo, this polished pairing is perfect for illuminating cool skin tones and fighting off the pigment-draining effect of black. Wear the classic combo as a necklace that lays against your chest with a scoop or v-neckline for instantly brighter skin. Wear a simple chain and pendant necklace with your black blazer and barely buttoned blouse, or a chunkier statement necklace with an all black gown.

Eclectic

Jewelry often feels separate to fashion, treasured more as an art form then mass produced fast-fashion. Whether it is its storied role in cultures around the world or its ability to transform any outfit from basic to eclectic, those who really love jewelry are on the lookout for pieces that feel unique. For a necklace that can feel artisanal try a silver necklace crafted with turquoise stones or one with an uneven, natural surface.  

Unlike gold, which can only play one note, luxurious silver can set a variety of tones. Elegant when polished up, precious  when worn discreetly, interesting in its eclectic forms—a silver necklace may seem like the underdog, but it is the champion of your jewelry box.
