Necklaces are pieces of jewelry that are worn around the neck. They come in a wide variety of styles, materials, and designs, and are often used to add a touch of elegance or personality to an outfit. Necklaces have been worn by humans for thousands of years, and were originally made from natural materials such as shells, stones, and animal bones.

Today, necklaces are made from a wide range of materials including metals like gold, silver, and platinum, as well as precious and semi-precious gemstones like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, pearls, and more. Other popular materials for necklaces include beads, crystals, leather, and various types of cords and chains.

Necklaces can be worn for a variety of occasions, from formal events like weddings and black-tie galas, to more casual settings like parties and everyday wear. They can be worn alone as a statement piece or layered with other necklaces for a more eclectic look. Necklaces also make great gifts for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions.
