Types Of Necklace
There are many different types of necklace to choose from including fashion favourite pendant necklaces, butterfly necklaces and charm necklaces that we love to wear every day and those special necklaces we keep for anniversaries and special occasions.

No matter whether you’re choosing a necklace for yourself or a friend, at Necklaces.org.uk we make this easy with our sophisticated Necklace Finder helping you browse more than 5,000 necklaces from High Street retailers such as Ernest Jones, H.Samuel, Goldsmiths and more.
Necklaces
A necklace is a length of material, sometimes fabric but typically metal such as gold, silver or sterling silver that is wound loosely around the neck and fastened with a clasp. Necklaces come in different lengths which can be used to draw attention to features such as the neck, breastbone or chest. Check out our Necklace Size Guide for popular lengths and sizes. Longer bead necklaces are great for the winter as they can be worn over jumpers, or wound around the wrist to make a bracelet instead. Short necklaces such as chokers and necklaces that rest on the collarbone are perfect for wearing every day on their own or with a pair of matching earrings. Giving a necklace as a birthday or anniversary gift is a thoughtful present that will last longer than a box of chocolates.
Pendant Necklaces
Luxurious gemstone and bead pendants hang delicately from gold necklaces, silver necklaces and chains. Pendants add style and glamour to a necklace. They are captivating, mesmerising and enchanting to behold. A deep shimmering blue sapphire pendant is the perfect gift for someone born in September and an amethyst pendant will be appreciated by your February-born or Pisces friend. For a list of pendant gemstones by month and also by star sign, take a look at our Birthstones By Month guide.
Butterfly Necklaces
Peaceful and charming images are conjured through butterfly necklaces. These angels of peace are timeless, captivating and enchanting and symbols of Mother Nature. Butterfly necklaces are cute yet sophisticated. Pretty glass butterfly necklaces and those made with precious metals such as silver butterfly necklaces and gold butterfly necklaces appeal to all ages. Your friend, sister or soul mate will love the elegant charm within the butterfly necklace and the freedom these amazing creatures represent.
Charm Necklaces
Wearing lucky charms and talismans on a necklace is one of the best ways to show the world who you are and the things you like and that are important to you. Charm necklaces can contain a single charm or you can fill your charm necklace with icons of your favourite cartoon characters, ancient runes and many more. An extra bonus of charm necklaces is that they can be doubled or trebled and become a charm bracelet on your wrist. Add precious gemstones such as diamonds or emeralds to your charm necklace to add colour and value to your favourite jewellery.
