Would your teen DD like this necklace?

She is 15 and wears simple, classic styles, both silver and gold.

I will encourage her to exchange it if she doesn't like it but I'd like to at least have a go at getting it right!

Thank you for these comments.

She wouldn't wear Tiffany or Pandora. Lily and Roo looks good- will have a browse on there.

Awe Inspired have some nice layering necklaces.

Mine would wear it but she would not realise how much it cost. I wouldn't spend more than £50 on a silver necklace like that as there are so many other things I could spend the money on. I've bought my DD a couple of silver necklaces from Hot Diamonds for Christmas with the 40% discount code. They came beautifully boxed and presented.

DD likes small and dainty but prefers something a bit more distinctive and cheaper like Estella Bartlett.

I think it’s nice @Confusednecklace

My similar aged family member sound like she has similar taste in jewellery and she also likes:

• Astrid & Miyu
• Carrie Elizabeth
• Monica Vinader
• Dower & Hall
• Astley Clarke

My niece chose this for her birthday last month, she's (just) 16

DD would be horrified by £160 spent on a necklace. She also wouldn't wear it, as she prefers gold coloured jewellery and I also don't think she'd like a stone that big, although the colour would be a hit. She likes more artsy stuff from Etsy or Not on the High St.

Have you considered buying from a small business instead? Lots of independent jewellery makers have lovely handmade things, rather than mass produced etc. My 16 year old niece likes Imogen Rose & Ruby Tynan.

Have a look at Missoma, I like this one (though tbf I am not 15): uk.missoma.com/products/lena-charm-necklace?variant=39356268904551&queryId=3fddf79e42867f96ccd75cf0a3158fcc&pdpIndex=gbp_production_plp_products&objectId=39356268904551

One of mine (18) would love it, the other (16) would loathe it.

But I agree that it’s more expensive than it looks. The one who loves delicate pendants loves the Estella Bartlett stuff.

I don't think my teen would like it.
It's pretty, but agree that it's more expensive than it looks.

It’s gorgeous. But sophisticated. Is she quite into elegant clothes etc?

She'd have liked it, but wouldn't have wanted me to splurge that much money on it. You can find loads of lovely jewellery in Accessorize. That used to be our go-to shop whenever we were using Kings Cross station and were waiting for a train. That and the Harry Potter shop, obviously.

DD1 (17) asked for this last Christmas and wears it a lot.

It’s irrelevant whether anyone else’s daughter would like this, but I would never spend that much money on this necklace (or in fact any necklace) for myself but even more so for a 15 year old!

Look at Cult of Youth.

I have one that’s almost the same-I got it from Etsy for about £10 (for the charm-my necklace was a few quid from eBay)

I think some posters have been a bit harsh on this thread. The OP doesn't need to know what others would or would not spend on their daughters. She just asked about the style of the necklace. A simple yes mine would or wouldn't would be ok near. No need to rip the necklace to shreds or be so rude about OPs potential choice.
OP there are some good suggestions of alternatives on here. Have a look at those

Thank you, @Onesipmore. I was quite surprised by some people's strength of feeling over a necklace 😆

I love it @Confusednecklace.

I was in to simple jewellery and I would have worn that at that age.

DD(14) would wear it, but she would definitely lose it and afraid I agree with PPs that it looks like it cost a tenner from a much cheaper shop.

It's pretty, but maybe a bit "safe"? I feel for that price you could get something with more personality, as pp said above how about Etsy? 🙂

The fact is I have had an almost identical one that cost £5... seeing someone sell this for £160 is shocking.

Someone else also said they had pretty much the same one for under £10 too.

Its sterling silver and topaz not platnum and diamond, the price is pretty insane and people are saying because they don't want OP to be ripped off.

I think it would be nice to encourage your daughter to look at independent designers - I like Lines and Current which are a Belfast firm - their birthstone necklace is a slightly quirkier version of the JL pendant at about 1/3 of the price and they have some other lovely items if she likes layering

Harsh? OP asked if our DDs would wear it. Some have said yes and some have said no and given their reasons. Entirely normal conversation.

It's nothing personal against OP of her choices, and not all teens like the same thing, please don't be calling people harsh for giving honest options on an anonymous post.
