I’ve been in the fashion industry long enough to know that jewellery trends move just as quickly as the rest. One minute, it’s pendant necklaces swinging from every fashion person’s clavicle, the next, they’ve been usurped by bubblegum-inspired designs. That’s why it’s well worth being discerning about which jewellery trends you invest in. So, having watched countless trends come and go, I’ve also honed in on a select few that have stood the test of time. My favourite among them? The T-bar necklace.
Simple in design, the T-bar necklace is defined by the sleek T-shaped pendant suspended from a chain. Worn alone, it offers a refined focal point that lends simple outfits a polished finish, but what I love most about the design is how well it layers, be it with delicate chains or chunkier styles.
As timeless as it is, the classic piece is also enjoying a fresh wave of popularity. Jewellery brand Missoma saw a 867% increase in demand for their best-selling Chunky T-Bar Chain Necklace (£198), following Andy Sachs styling in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
