Now is the perfect time to add a pendant cord necklace to your jewelry collection. A nostalgic favorite of '90s icons like Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore, this classic style has made a stylish comeback, updated by top designers such as Tom Ford, Gabriela Hearst, Proenza Schouler, and Alexandre Vauthier. These designers have put their own spin on the trend, pairing the necklaces with sharp, tailored suits and sleek black-tie ensembles that allow the pendant to take center stage.
It’s worth noting that pendant cord necklaces have been cherished for decades, with Elsa Peretti’s iconic heart-shaped pendants on black silk cords for Tiffany & Co. still standing as a timeless classic.
Today’s designers, including Agmes, Sophie Buhai, and Alighieri, offer a range of pendants, from sculptural, minimalist pebbles in gold and silver to more organic designs featuring freshwater pearls and stones like jade and agate, seen in collections from brands such as Hailey Bieber-favorite Heaven Mayhem and Maison Irem.
Pendant cord necklaces are the perfect solution for that “je ne sais quoi” moment when you look in the mirror and feel like something’s missing from your outfit. Whether you’re elevating a simple black dress or adding a touch of flair to a classic white tee, these necklaces are the ideal accessory to complete your look.
This season, why not opt for a cord necklace to add that final touch of sophistication to your ensemble?
