72 Bridal Necklaces

Framing the neck with sensuality, a bridal necklace is the ultimate bridal accessory. It’s a final, deliberate note in the composition of a look. It draws the eye to the collarbone, softening the décolletage. It adds a sense of ceremony to even the most minimal gown. Reminiscent of Elizabeth Taylor’s diamond rivière necklace, or Sofia Richie’s diamond and pearl drop choker—a bridal necklace will forever define a moment. Whether a string of pearls, a delicate diamond pendant, or something sculptural and bold, it remains timeless—one of the greatest jewels a woman can wear, evoking a princess-like feeling without the need for a tiara.

Beyond adornment, your bridal necklace will become a lasting heirloom, tied to the moment. A luxury piece worn on your wedding day taking on new life long after the celebration ends: layered over a slip dress, worn on a honeymoon, or even styled with a crisp white shirt for an elevated everyday look. It’s the kind of piece that carries weight not in size, but in sentiment.

This is our curated edit with over 72 bridal necklaces for every wedding look.

Statement Pieces

Usually one-of-a-kind or produced in exceptionally limited editions, high jewelry statement pieces are entirely handcrafted and inspired by diverse influences—from the natural world and mythology to haute couture and architectural form. Fluid diamond-set curves trace the neckline in liquid-like forms. Others create a sense of architectural tension, framing the décolletage with precision. Featuring pavé diamonds adorned with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and other precious stones, shapes cascade, stand still and revolve. Wearable art, rich in symbolism and drama, these bridal necklaces are perfect for a strapless, modern, and minimal gown.

Delicate & Minimal Chains

Feminine and effortlessly wearable, barely-there chains adorned with petite diamond solitaires to fine gold strands scattered with subtle stones, add a soft glint to the décolletage without overpowering. Even the more embellished designs, like a ribbon-like choker or a floral cluster in pavé diamonds, maintain a dainty sensibility. Perfect for brides drawn to understated beauty, these pieces can definitely be worn long after the wedding day.

Classic Diamonds

These classic bridal necklaces channel a timelessness through brilliant-cut diamonds and heritage designs. Classic rivière silhouettes adorned with emerald, pear, and marquise-cut diamonds evoke a sense of regality, and intricate vintage-inspired pieces featuring pearl accents and ornate scrollwork bring back nostalgia as if passed from generations down. Centered around a dramatic drop stone or composed of oversized step-cut gems, these necklaces are perfect for a bride seeking to channel the nostalgia of old-world glamour.

Pearl Necklaces

Ranging from the soft glow of heirloom-inspired strands to contemporary reimaginings adorned with sapphires, sculptural clasps, or asymmetrical designs, a pearl necklace will never go out of style. Layer in multiple rows, set with diamond pendants, or pair with contrasting gemstones. Use a pearl necklace to channel your own personality by creating something unique to you. Rich in symbolism and style, pearls are at once timeless and modern.
