Diamond + Gold = Perfection
Necklaces from high chokers sitting properly on the neck to collars nestled perfectly upon a collar bone are a must have for jewelry lovers. They’re the ideal starting point for layering a stylish neck mess and can even be the base for loading on cherished charms. That said, these beauties can definitely hold their own when worn solo. But they aren’t the usual suspects when it comes to exquisite gold and shimmering diamonds. These come in a variety of diamond shapes; baguette, marquis and even heavily encrusted pavé set into everything from delicate bars to chunky chains. Whatever you lean towards, each is guaranteed to bring modern everyday luxury to your ensemble.
