Do you wear necklaces every day?

I hardly ever wear them but I'd like to. I think I look a bit frumpy so don't see the point.
Does anyone else relate to this?
I'd like to change but I haven't got a clue what I like.

No but I often wear tatty devine earrings, which can be quite bold so those with a necklace can be a bit much, if I'm wearing a plain top or dress I'm more likely to wear a necklace. Don't worry about frumpy etc (never hear men being called frumpy....) just wear whatever you like

I wear them most days. I love Alex Monroe and have a bumblebee, dragonfly and leaf silver necklace. I also have a lovely Cara Tonkin simple silver necklace. Unless I’m wearing a high neckline I will wear one. Also earrings and perfume!

I used to but I now have a baby who uses them to strangle me with, so I rarely wear them anymore.

A necklace is the only jewellery I wear.
I tend to wear chains as opposed to pendants and I change them regularly.

sprigatito · 02/06/2024 20:19

I wear a silver Tudor rose necklace which I never take off. It was a Mother's Day present from my very gruff and undemonstrative teenage son who absolutely does not share my love of early modern history, and it means so much to me.

Polkadoteyes · 02/06/2024 20:21

Always. Currently got a Michael Kors which is very plain round crystal and short chain. DH chose it as a surprise which was lovely. Brand doesn't bother me but he was pleased he got it in a gift bag !

DappledThings · 02/06/2024 20:22

I don't ever wear any jewellery except my wedding ring. I have loads of lovely necklaces and earrings but I just can't ever be arsed.

TootGoesTheOwl · 02/06/2024 20:22

I do, just a small coloured stone on a silver chain. I don't take it off so I don't have to think about it (same with earrings and rings).

Hedjwitch · 02/06/2024 20:24

Every day I wear a silver necklace with silver shell on it.

For special occasions I change it for something which matches my outfit.
Can't imagine not having a necklace on. I would feel naked.

crabette · 02/06/2024 20:34

I wear a simple white gold one with my kids initials on, every day.

(I don't bother taking it on / off, it just stays on all the time - I'm sure if I was doing that every day I'd forget!)

If I'm going somewhere special / have a special outfit or whatever I do consider whether a different necklace would be a better fit for the look, and change accordingly, but it's only ever for that particular event.

YellowDayToday · 02/06/2024 20:39

I have two necklaces on all the time, a Tiffany bean and a necklace my husband got me. Love them both and hate it when don’t have them on!

CrushingOnRubies · 02/06/2024 20:46

Yes I feel a bit naked if I'm not wearing a pendant necklace

Shirtdress · 02/06/2024 20:48

Yes, every day. Mostly heavy silver necklaces, pendants etc.

EasilyDefined · 02/06/2024 20:56

Yes, every day, usually a simple silver pendant on a chain which has great sentimental value but sometimes change to something else for soecial occasions. I wear stud or sleeper earrings most of the time, if I wear dangly ones I'd probably go without a necklace otherwise my neckline feels a bit cluttered especially if I've got my hair down. But I would then add a bracelet (I don't wear these often, they get in the way and annoy me, although I like the look of them).

I usually wear pearls. I know. Conjures an image. But they are flattering .

And the juxtaposition of pearls and DMs is quietly pleasing.

ohthejoys21 · 02/06/2024 21:05

I wear a diamond stud necklace from my old engagement ring. Don't normally take it off.

Kioki · 02/06/2024 21:06

The only piece of jewellery I wear all the time other than a ring.

Small pendant usually... I have one gold, and two different silver ones so sometimes change but stays on all the time.

I absolutely love a string of pearls. I used to wear them all the time, now only now and again. I think they are elegant, flattering and with the right outfit, just a little subversive.

I wore my mum’s triple string on my wedding day 🙂

Muffin101 · 02/06/2024 21:07

Never take mine off. A fairly simple silver pendant, a v sentimental piece to me.

LookItsMeAgain · 02/06/2024 21:10

Yes. I wear a gold necklace every day and every night. I love it.

When I’m not wearing this particular necklace, I wear a while gold necklace with pendant.

I 🥰🥰🥰 necklaces!

Mum2jenny · 02/06/2024 21:12

Always, although the actual necklace changes at times. I’d feel naked without one.

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 02/06/2024 21:13

I wear necklaces all the time. Couldn't give a shit if they are considered 'frumpy'. If fear of being 'frumpy' keeps you awake at night, OP, you might want to have a little re-set whereby you decide to wear what you enjoy wearing, as frankly nobody is looking at you anyway. Just wear what you like.

I wear a simple diamond solitaire necklace on a white gold chain. It was a gift so I don’t know what it cost but as I’ve worn it every day for six years, the cost per wear must be pretty low.

It is like this one: https://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/Goldsmiths-9ct-White-Gold-0.50ct-Diamond-Solitaire-Pendant-Q2-2023-9CT-WG-0.40CT/p/12143520?lsft=utm_content:shopping___adty__pla___prch__online___stco_____prid__12143520,utm_medium:cpc&utm_content=shopping___adty__pla___prch__online___stco_____prid__12143520%2Cutm_medium:cpc&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpbKM8dq9hgMVSpFQBh1KSgnTEAQYCCABEgK93_D_BwE

I love how it makes me a little feel pulled together in any outfit. It’s especially lovely with jumpers.

The only time I take it off is to wear a couple of statement necklaces I have, or a string of pearls of my granny’s amber beads. Other than that, I sleep, bathe, swim and exercise in it.

A "simple diamond" necklace!!! Stealth boast much?!!!

Scampuss · 02/06/2024 21:16

I wear a MedicAlert necklace, but not sure that counts!
