Whether it’s true that necklaces can make or break your outfit, here at 8List.ph, we’re strong advocates of Wearing What You Want. If your vibe for the day is going minimalist, a trend that has been around for a while now, go ahead and help yourself with dainty jewelry. But if you want to zhuzh up your look, maybe it’s time to step into the world of maximalism and let loose a little. Here are a few of our favorite charm necklaces that scream “I’m the coolest Gen Z you’ll ever meet.”
Girlies testing the waters of maximalist necklaces will find that Andmore Co. creates the most beautiful pieces that are great for transitioning phases. They are dropped in collections: Spring Dreaming (which is as dreamy as it sounds), The Butterfly Effect (full of mesmerizing butterflies), and, most recently, Seashell Sweethearts (perfect for the beach!). And since these pieces are not only total must-haves but they’re affordable too, they get sold out in less than an hour. If you’re lucky, you can still find great pieces over at Andmore Co.’s Shopee store.
Be that mysterious, mystical girl with the eye-catching evil eye necklace thanks to STONERIVER. Kim Sabala’s jewelry has the power to turn heads and start conversations because of course, everyone would want to know where you got that statement piece from. Aside from their beautiful Evil Eye Collection (which also features multi-wear chains and chokers), STONERIVER also has gorgeous body chains you’ll want to wear to pair with your next hubadera outfit. Check them out via STONERIVER’s website.
There’s nothing more beautiful than a necklace adorned with the cutest charms and local store Treasure by B nails the concept on the head. Their latest drop, Dazed & Amused, includes necklaces that represent different kinds of girlies. There are ribbon charms mixed with shells and airplane charms for the jetsetter, ladybug and mushroom charms for that cottagecore aesthetic, and more. Get them online and add them to your collection. With an affordable price range from P800 to P2,450, we daresay they’re a steal.
If we’re talking chunky necklaces with the most amazing color combinations, Tropik Beatnik deserves a spot on the list. This local brand specializes in unique necklaces, earrings, and rings that come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and colorways. They’re truly a joy to look at and, sitting prettily on your neck, might be able to actually brighten someone’s day. Plus, with a price range from P999 to P2,750, they’re affordable too. Go ahead and take your pick via Tropik Beatnik’s website.
Antler’s latest collection, La Flaquita, is jewelry that’s all about spooky season. They’ve got chokers for the skulls-obsessed and even earrings to match too. But if that isn’t your whole vibe, you can check out their other collections with equally chunky necklace beads. We’ve got dibs on the super cute Umi collection and its cute mini octopuses, inspired by “the sun, the sea, and everything seaside.” Check out more Antler Accessories here.
Dani Daffodil is a local online store that experiments with polymer clay and high-quality acrylics to create artistic pieces like their Face Necklace. Aside from this wacky piece that you’d want to cop ASAP, the store also creates equally eccentric earrings that come in striking colors. Their Funky Flower Earrings are nothing short of a dream! Check Dani Daffodil pieces via their website.
Haricot Vert pieces can quickly go from quirky to romantic with just a few charms and we’re absolutely in love with it. Each bracelet or necklace from this Brooklyn-based jewelry store includes their signature picto-charms made from “non-toxic, durable polymer material and earth-friendly resin.” Their necklaces are priced anywhere from P3,000 to P21,000 for the more complex ones. And since all of their pieces are handmade, it takes a while for them to come up with new collections. This means when they do drop a collection, you’ve got to snag your favorite piece up or dream of what could’ve been if you had it. Haricot Vert is also open for made-to-order pieces. Check out their website!
Got what it takes to pull off these eye-catching chunky charms? Like Haricot Vert, The Sage Vintage also specializes in necklaces loaded with quirky charms but this time, they come in bigger sizes and are priced around P3,000 to P21,000. Each necklace is enough to be the centerpiece of your OOTD so you can keep the rest simple — a white tee, jeans, and heels combo would do. Funnily enough, you might find these giant charms so addicting, that you’d want to stack more than one at a time. Order them online via The Sage Vintage’s website.
