Anyone after a necklace that will go with everything should consider investing in a trendy and very versatile T-bar style. One of these works just as well on its own as it does paired with other chains for a layered look.
The style is inspired by traditional watch chains, where the horizontal “T” bar was designed to secure pocket watches through buttonholes. Now, jewellers everywhere have their own versions and we’ve spotted the Rope T-bar necklace by British brand Daisy London. Both the gold and silver versions are currently on sale, but shoppers will have to be quick as the offer ends at midnight on Tuesday 1st July.
The gold necklace is down from £149 to £74.50, a saving of 50%. It has a textured pendant with rope-style detailing on a slim chain. The bar can be removed to pop on another piece or to wear the chain on its own. It’s crafted in 18ct gold plate over 100% recycled sterling silver. For anyone who prefers silver, that version is reduced from £99 to £49.50.
The Rope T-Bar necklace is highly rated with many five star reviews, with one customer writing: « Absolutely love this – the weight and quality are tangible, it’s clearly going to last. » Another praised its versatility: « This item is perfect for someone who wants something a little different as an everyday necklace. »
For understated glamour, we would pair this with a delicate gold choker or fine chain to let the T-bar shine. We love the Daisy London Tidal Twist chain necklace, priced at £79. For the evening, more is always more, so add up to four other gold chains in differing lengths for an eye-catching layered look.
London-based brand Tilly Sveaas made the T-bar a viral sensation with its pieces beloved by everyone from Davina McCall, Taylor Swift, Florence Pugh, and Kylie Jenner. Significantly more expensive, her iconic item the Gold T-Bar Curb Link Necklace, is priced from £320 and goes up to £37. It’s bigger than the Daisy London piece with the pendant measuring 3cm in width. Plus, it features a different chain style.
Another more affordable option is the 18ct gold plated T-bar necklace from Hersey & Son, priced at £60. It’s 18ct gold-plated and is very similar to the Daisy London item. It doesn’t have any kind of rope texture but the chain and pendants are the same delicate length and thickness.
