Short Necklaces

A short necklace sits at or just above the collarbone, which puts it closer to the face than almost any other piece of jewelry. That proximity changes how it reads. More intimate, more immediate. Less decoration, more presence.

Every short necklace here is crafted from solid 14k gold, typically between 14 and 16 inches. Chain styles, diamond pendants, station necklaces. Nothing plated, nothing that changes over time. At this length, the necklace becomes part of the neckline rather than sitting below it, which means the quality of the piece is always visible.

Short necklaces work beautifully as the top layer in a stack, with longer pieces sitting below them. A 16-inch chain or pendant at the collarbone, an 18-inch station necklace mid-chest, a 20-inch piece lower still. For layering combinations, dainty gold necklaces and diamond station necklaces offer pieces designed for exactly this. For something with more presence at this length, choker necklaces sits alongside this collection.

Yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. Solid 14k throughout. Nothing plated.
