Necklaces for Women at By Charlotte

A necklace for women rests close to your heart, so it is often the piece with the most to say. Our women's necklaces are designed in Sydney in sterling silver and gold, with symbols, birthstones and mantras that make each one personal.

Which necklace for women has a meaning behind it?

Start with the symbol that feels like you. The lotus necklace is the emblem of the brand and a reminder that something bright can rise from murky water, while a birthstone necklace keeps a special month close. If you would rather carry a photo, a locket necklace holds the moment for you, and the gold heart locket and gold locket necklace give you two more shapes.

Where do different necklace lengths fall?

A 16 inch chain rests around the collarbone, 18 inches sits just below it, and 21 inches falls towards the top of the chest. Our signature chains come in several lengths, so you can choose 16 inches for a close, quiet line or 18 inches when a pendant needs room to hang.

How do I layer women's necklaces?

Stagger the lengths by a couple of inches so each chain has space, and pair one pendant with one plain chain so the eye has somewhere to rest. A gold chain necklace makes a quiet base, and a charm necklace adds a story on top, and a short lotus gold necklace for women gives the layers a clear start. Reach for a necklace extender when you want a little more room.

Necklaces FAQs

What is the best necklace to give as a gift?

Choose the story that suits the person. A birthstone says you remember their month, such as the March birthstone necklace, April birthstone necklace, emerald birthstone necklace or gold sapphire necklace, a locket keeps someone close and a lotus necklace wishes them well on their path. Every order arrives in a signature pink box with a cotton pouch and a meaning card, and for a milestone the 14k solid gold necklace chain is a timeless choice. The necklace sale has pieces at a lower price if you'd like to spend less.

What does an evil eye necklace mean?

The evil eye is an ancient symbol of protection, worn to guard against negative energy and welcome good fortune. Our 14k solid gold Evil Eye Necklace carries that intention in a piece you can wear every day.

What is the difference between gold vermeil, solid gold and sterling silver necklaces?

Sterling silver is silver all the way through, vermeil is sterling silver coated in 18k gold and solid gold is gold throughout. Pick sterling silver for a cool tone, vermeil for warmth at a gentler price and solid gold for the piece you will never take off. Our women's gold necklaces cover both vermeil and 14k, and our 18k gold vermeil necklaces keep to vermeil alone.

What if my chain is too short?

A necklace extender adds length in seconds. We make extenders in 18k gold vermeil, 14k solid gold and 9k solid gold, so you can match the metal of the chain you already own.
