Please help me find a nice versatile necklace.

[Anonymous]

Full disclosure-I have been a tomboy playing sports girl my whole life. I typically wear jeans, t shirts and athleisure But lately i’m really trying to be more feminine, especially when going out to dinner with my husband etc…I have quite literally no jewelry besides my engagement and wedding ring. Also i’m in my early 40s if that makes a difference in your suggestions.

Can you recommend a subtle, nice necklace to wear when wearing a dress etc…? Also i’m not rich so maybe like $200 and under? I have no idea what they even cost to be honest.

Thank you!

Get a nice 18" 14k gold chain and buy a pendant or two that appeals to you and is preferably personal to you. It could be a disc that has your monogram on it, a solitaire gemstone, etc. You can wear it every day.

You can go to Costco for the chain and peruse vintage sites and Ebay for pendants. It will cost you more than $200 with gold prices so high, but you could get sterling silver for much less, or if you want the gold look, get vermeil.

Gold is really expensive these days. If you have a tendency to allergies, and think you would react to copper or other impurities in gold, you're going to need to splurge for 18K carat or higher, and not gold plate. Or wear sterling silver, although you'll need to clean it regularly.

Is your skin tone is warm, gold will suit you better. If it's cool, then silver.

If you want the cheapest prices, Costco may be your best bet, OP. They have conventional (boring) stuff, but at least it's going to go with everything.

Maybe renting makes more sense?

I love Satya! I've been buying from them since the early 2000s and the quality is great

Something like this, maybe -- simple and understated:

my favorite necklace right now is from one of those hippie stores with a name that includes something like "tibet" or "nepal" or himalaya". its a sterling silver chain with a stone pendant (tigers eye) and it was $140.

I have owned this for a zillion years and always reach for it over others- I like the silver/gold combo.
