Most women have our daily jewelry pieces that we love to enjoy with our everyday outfits. This may be a ring, a necklace, or pair of earrings. Regardless, it is usually something special, meaningful, and versatile that allows us to keep a part of what represents us close, while also signaling something to the rest of the world. Necklaces are easy for women to wear every day, and many can be worn 24/7 depending on the piece.
Why Wear a Necklace Daily?
Why wear something daily? Well, the first perk is the true convenience of it. If it’s a necklace you put on and never take off, you can be accessorized from morning to night. Or, you may take it off, but it always goes back on before you go out the door. Similarly, this is convenient because it allows you to think less, live more, and look fantastic. Everyday necklaces may be your favorite because they are simple and easy to wear, or, they may have been a special gift or signify something important to you. Most necklaces made for women can be worn with a variety of necklines and are often coupled together with other necklaces, making them a versatile daily option.
Things to Consider When Choosing an Everyday Necklace
Versatility
First things first is versatility. A daily wear necklace should match a ton of outfits, and really be able to take you in any fashion direction you want to go. Everyday necklaces should be subtle enough that they can be paired with other necklaces tailored for your specific outfit of the day. You should also choose a metal color that fits well with the majority of your other accessories.
Meaning and Sentimentality
In addition to being versatile, a daily necklace also should be meaningful. A piece you are willing to showcase on the daily should have some sort of meaning or sentimental value to you. If it’s going to be on your body each time you’re out — a physical extension of your style, it should remind you of memories, happy times, or someone special.
Quality
Finally, quality is key. If the necklace is something you wear with every outfit, you need to make sure it can hold up to the hustle and bustle of daily life. This means it can hold up for regular cleaning and maintenance in addition to general use wear.
Examples of Necklaces for Women for Daily Wear
Diamonds and Gold
You can’t go wrong with a necklace that combines diamonds and gold for a cohesive and precious look. Whether this is white gold, or your classic yellow gold, the simple metal and glisten of diamonds will look classy, and formal (yet can be dressed down). An added bonus? The high-quality metal and stones will last for a long time.
These styles can vary depending on what you’re looking for. One fantastic option is a drop pendant chain. This is a dainty chain necklace that has a singular chain drop pendant to accent. This pendant can be tucked in to a shirt, or worn proudly on top, depending on your desired look.
Brands like Chopard, Cartier, and Tiffany & Co. have excellent diamond and gold necklace options for women.
Simple Pendant
You can never go wrong with simplicity. A simple pendant necklace will never fail you as far as versatility, and the pendant can also represent something that means a lot to you. Or, it could just be something you find special and beautiful. With a dainty chain, the pendant really has the chance to shine. Whether it’s something like a simple ring (like Cartier rings) or something reflective of your values, like a cross necklace (we love Van Cleef & Arpels pendants), customizing a pendant necklace is simple to do and brings big reward for those that love a good daily wear piece.
Classic Chain
If you really want to go understated but still want an everyday necklace, go for a chain. This can be something delicate to accent your features, or something a bit bolder and chunkier to make a statement. Regardless of the thickness, a chain can be a durable piece that is great on its own for daily wear but also can be layered with a variety of other necklaces when you feel like dressing it up. Chain link necklaces are the perfect intermediate piece, with just the right chain link.
