Everyday necklace?

[gymangel812]

I'm looking for a new "everyday" necklace.

i currently wear a tiffany open heart necklace but i would like to get something better, maybe with some type of jewels on it. nothing too flashy or trendy, and pretty basic, so that it will match most things. i would prefer silver. i do not want yellow gold, hate it, lol.

the problem is, i'm totally clueless about jewelry and different brands.

i'd also like it to be $350 or less. any help is greatly appreciated

You may want to consider any of these:

A locket, especially filigree
A coin type necklace
Pink Gold necklace
Diamond Cross/Star of David

I have one of those past, present, future necklaces (the pendant consists of three little diamond studs in a column and it's on a silver chain) and it's classy enough for everyday wear, but can still be dressed up. It's just as versatile as the open heart necklace IMO... I usually switch between the two for everyday wear.

ETA - I found a pic of it!

Sundance has some really cute things and a lot of variety.

I made a silver rolo chain necklace with gemstone beads spaced every inch or so for my teenage daughter. She wears it ALL the time, and loves the simple yet colorful design. I used sterling wire to incorporate the gemstone beads (I used peridot, iolite, aquamarine, etc. - blues and greens - She wanted something sea-like), and a lobster clasp.

I wear a lot of crosses-I have all different kinds-so, perhaps something like that (or, a Star of David if you are Jewish).

i like the idea of a locket too

If you can spend a little more ($390) you can get this David Yurman necklace with blue topaz.

or you can get it in amethyst

For $365 you could get this Me & Ro flower pendant necklace with iolite stones

I love the necklace that Kat posted- or a locket or another necklace that could be personalized would be cute

That last one from Me&Ro is gorgeous!!!

Can I show off a couple of mine? They aren't available for sale but I just loved 'em. And think they'd make pretty good every day type necklaces.

The first I made for my little cousin Kimiko for her birthday. It's floating Aquamarine and Ruby.

The second one a coworker bought with some matching earrings. It is pink topaz and sterling silver.

My vote is definitely that last one with the iolites. Gorgeous!

i'm seriously considering the me&ro but is it a trendy jewelry line? if i got tired of it, would i be able to get my money back (or at least most of it) on ebay?

^ If you're talking about resale value.. probably yes. If you use this link to look up completed auctions on ebay for Me & Ro necklaces you can see most of them sell for like $80-150 which is pretty good =) http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/AdvSearch?sofindtype=13&ssPageName=h:h:advsearch:US
