The first necklaces are believed to have originated during the Stone Age, with most of them made out of mollusks. As time passed, people began making them out of teeth, bones and shells and later with precious metals and stones.

Now, the materials used to create necklaces are almost endless. From metal, plastic, wood and stones to leather and pearls. The designs too have evolved over the years from simple ideas to intricate and delicate masterpieces. A symbol of wealth, status and identity, you will now hardly come across a person who doesn’t wear one, whether cheap or expensive.

There’re a variety of necklaces, some of the more common ones being chokers, bib, uniform, sharktooth, lariat and sautoir or rope. Many have also been made famous by their wearers, the most notable being that which was associated with Mary Antoinette. A choker of seventeen diamonds, three-wreathed pendants, a double row of diamonds and a four knotted tassel. It would now be worth approximately a staggering $100 million!

Among the many varieties, one can also find those called name necklaces(In Danish navne halskæder). As the name implies, the design is based on the person’s name in varied fonts and styles. There’re those that are readymade and others that can be custom-made. Name necklaces make popular gifts and are mostly worn by the younger crowd and celebs.

While there are many designs, daisy jewelry (In Danish marguerit smykker) stands out for its simplistic and timeless beauty. Be it for rings, bracelets or necklaces, the popularity of daisy jewelry is evident in its wide use. A symbol for innocence, purity and gentleness, the daisy is said to have originated from a dryad who presided over forests and meadows.

There is also a brand by the name of Daisy Jewellery that specializes in contemporary and designer adornments. A visit to the website will show a selection of pieces like chakra bracelets, stacking rings, pendants and more.

Whether you choose to opt for name necklaces, daisy jewelry or any other type, know that you’re continuing a tradition that has been around for ages. From the Stone Age down to modern times, necklaces have evolved along with mankind and show no signs of losing their popularity.
