A universal necklace you can always wear?

I have never been much of a jewelry person but I am slowly converting. I would love to pick out a delicate (timeless?) necklace I could wear everyday and with any outfit but I really don't know where to look for one.

I have a white gold engagement ring so would probably like to go along the lines of a similar metal to not contrast it too much. So silver or white gold probably.

Where does everyone go for their jewelry nowadays? Any good online retailers or high street stores worth looking into?
Or even better - considering my taste can be questionable - any actual pieces that are nice?

I have N Alex Munroe Silver Bee . I don't even take it off when I go running. I'm hoping for the flora initial for Christmas to wear with it.

I have the classic return to Tiffany necklace, which I received for Christmas 3-ish years ago. I never take it off, it's holding up really well and goes with everything imo. The same person bought me the matching earrings last Christmas too, and although I don't wear the earrings as much, they do make a lovely set!

@inflatableseahorses

Ooohhh... there are some gorgeous suggestions here. I had no idea Georg Jensen did jewellery. I wonder if DH will notice if my Xmas present wish list items have an extra 0 on the end of them compared to normal!!
That's their main thing isn't it? I love some of the sleeker jewellery, the stuff that looks like molten metal. It's so tactile.

My mum's favourite is this one: (offspring, not mother and child, I had a mind blank).

I really like the dangly ear hoop things that go with that...

Cheesymonster · 27/11/2021 18:22

I have this one uk.pandora.net/en/jewellery/necklaces/pendant-necklaces/entwined-circles-pandora-logo-sparkle-collier-necklace/396235CZ.html?cgid=necklaces-pendant-necklaces#position=top&src=categorySearch&start=51&cgid=necklaces-pendant-necklaces&productscount=60

I also have the Tiffany Elsa Peretti open heart which I bought myself when I got my first full time job over 25 years ago

One aren't delicate but I always wear a necklace and swap between these two.

That should say "Mine" not One

Thanks to this thread I'm now wearing my big chunky silver Jensen ring and dangly rose quartz earrings with my pyjamas while I lie on the sofa watching telly.

I wear a Pandora necklace with a flower for every day. I don't wear jewellery regularly but have had this one on for two years now 🤣

Now you have to say where those are from.

I had a very heavy silver t-bar chain my parents bought me 20 years ago but it was stolen. I wore it all the time.

iklboo · 27/11/2021 18:46

I have a silver locket DH bought me when DS was born. It goes with everything and has a lot of sentimental meaning.

WingingItSince1973 · 27/11/2021 18:49

What a great thread. Just what I was looking for too. Xx

wishiwasonholiday30 · 27/11/2021 18:57

Have a look at Daniella Draper jewellery, there's a lot of timeless/classic pieces.
I alternate between that and a simple Boodles necklace.

DoYouRememberTheInnMiranda · 27/11/2021 19:29

Can I jump.on the bandwagon and ask of anyone has any recommendations for a gold coloured necklace I could give my 60 year old mum for Christmas? It would need to be an every day kind of one as she doesn't go out out much, and she tends to wear gold stuff rather than silver. About £100ish

AWellReadWoman · 27/11/2021 19:33

I alternate between a silver horseshoe from Tiffany and silver "D", which is my son's initial, from Kit Heath.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 27/11/2021 20:23

I got this for my 30th birthday, more than 20 years ago and still love it. I wear it most days - was wearing stars before they were trendy!

Loving this thread. I've been looking for a simple everyday necklace and have now sent OH about a dozen links to some your fab suggestions 😀

MissMoiselle · 27/11/2021 20:41

I second Monica Vinander. I've had one of her diamond bracelets for years and it is still beautiful despite never taking it off. Her pieces are timeless, simple and elegant. Saving up for a necklace hoping the January sale will be good Smile

carlydurly · 27/11/2021 20:52

I wear a Tiffany Elsa peretti silver heart and Pearl lariat. I get so many compliments on it and it's simple but really lovely.

EssexLioness · 27/11/2021 21:47

@NeedToKnow101

This is beautiful! Am going to order for myself
HalfCakeHalfBiscuit · 27/11/2021 21:52

I have that exact one! And matching earrings. It's the only good quality set I've ever bought myself. And I love it!
