Perhaps a result of their prominence on the red carpet, by-the-yard necklaces were everywhere at recent jewelry shows we've attended. Yes, they've been around for the last couple of years, but they're still going strong, maybe even stronger than before. So much so, they might just be the new staple of a jewelry wardrobe. Rightfully so: they're a smart investment in this economy, giving you several looks for one purchase.
These long necklaces with "stations" (gemstones, mini-medallions, or some sort of accent) every inch or two, are most commonly worn alone or layered with pendants on short chains. Very versatile, they can also be shortened with or without the use of an enhancer, creating a multi-strand look on their own. Some can be doubled over and threaded, creating a lariat or Y necklace effect. Wrapped around the arm, many also work as multi-strand bracelets.
Available in gold and sterling, with and without gemstones, by-the-yard necklaces are currently available at VALLEY JEWELERS. Even more varieties are coming in the fall. (Look for a enhancer giveaway special with BTY holiday purchases.)
