Why Dainty Necklaces Shouldn’t Be Overlooked
If your Instagram Explore or TikTok for You page is anything like mine, you’ve been inundated with images of chunky, Y2K-feeling accessories. But let’s not forget about the dainty necklace: A minimalist approach can go a long way with barely there chains and pint-size pendants. While a chunky chain or colorful beaded necklace can add a lot to a look, sometimes all an outfit needs is a simple jewel to top it off. They are small but mighty, and the loveliness of dainty necklaces cannot be denied.
If you’re in the market for one with a bit of sparkle, try Mejuri’s thin gold chain dotted with clear sapphires or Sorellina’s eye-catching necklace with rainbow gemstones. For something bold yet understated, a pavé-bedazzled choker from Anita Ko or an elegant pearl and diamond lariat from Mateo will do just the trick. But if the idea of minimalist jewelry is a bit daunting, layer a handful of dainty necklaces for a slightly more maximalist turn. Below, shop the best dainty necklaces that still pack a punch.
