19 Creative, Cute, and Wearable Necklace Designs

Necklaces have been around as long as the need for human ornamentation, and they've come in a huge number of variations over the centuries. So what are the new creative ways that you can express yourself with your necklace? Check out these clever ideas and try out your faves.

Wrecking Ball

While Miley Cyrus has one of the most popular videos on Youtube for her song Wrecking Ball, this necklace inspired by her infamous song is pretty interesting too. With a tiny silver figure ready to slam through hearts, this necklace is a definite eye-catcher.

The Liquid Necklace

A small vial of liquid worn around the neck was out of style for years, but it’s coming back. Whether it’s wine, blood, mercury, or just a dollop of magic, these vial necklaces certainly get people’s attention.

The Wearable Planter

For the green jewelry enthusiast the wearable planter is leagues past the hemp necklace. A tiny little planter is the main feature, and when the plant inside gets too big it can be put into a garden to grow.

Human Hair

The idea of making accessories out of human hair isn’t a new one, but it isn’t one that’s been popular for a long time. Necklaces made of human hair seem to be making a comeback though. It may sound creepy, but it does have a cool look.

Dotted Line

Everyone knows you’re supposed to cut on the dotted line, and this choker marks out very clearly where the headsman is supposed to strike. For the morbid girl, this is a cute and clever idea.

Pizza-Themed BFFs

The Best Friends Forever style of necklace, where each friend gets a segments, isn’t new. The full pizza where each friend gets a slice is new though, and it makes sure a group of friends each gets a piece. Plus it proves the point that nothing brings people together like a pizza!

Wish List Necklaces

Used as a place holder, these necklaces tell readers just what the wearer wants. Maybe it’s diamonds and rubies, or a new home and love. Whatever you really want, let your readers know!

Atomic Structures

Whether it’s silver or gold, these necklaces that take the form of the atomic structure of the metal they’re made of are beautiful and humorous at the same time.

Tee Shirt and Necklace Combinations

Some fashion ensembles require too much thought, but some are just clever enough to be worth the extra preparation. A tee shirt with a fish bowl is one thing, but wearing it with a goldfish necklace? That’s priceless.

Recycled Records

For music lovers and enthusiasts the world over, these necklaces are made from recycled vinyl. Once great tunes can now be worn around your neck, shaped and molded like memento mori of past lives.

Diver Necklaces

The joke works best for women (and even better for women with notable cleavage), these divers look like they’re ready to, ahem, take the plunge. A bit of visual humor that will usually get a laugh.

DJ Jewelry

Whether it’s a miniature turn table, a mic, or just a set of ear cans, these necklaces make it clear where the wearer’s heart really lies. Perfect for any music lover out there.

The Dog Walker

A two-part necklace, the drops are a set of dogs and a dog walker connected by a chain. While it’s still a single necklace, the disparate pieces create a shadow play that’s sure to amuse.

Dessert Necklace

Everyone loves their sweet treats, and these necklaces let people show off their favorites. From donuts to chocolate, hard candy to licorice, there’s something for every flavor.

Broken Image

Nothing is worse than the dreaded broken image icon when you’re searching for the ideal picture online. This necklace lets viewers know there would be something awesome in its place, but somewhere the link broke.

Pixelated Necklaces

With soaring popularity after Minecraft gained a cult-like following, these necklaces are of everything from flowers to gems, but they’re rendered in low quality, pixelated graphics. Any gamer girl would love this must-have accessory.

Chompers

Whether it’s a set of mobile human teeth, vampire fangs, or another collection of teeth altogether, these metal munchers are a unique necklace to say the least.

Swinging Girl

One of the most unusual necklaces is the swinging girl. Typically with a pin-up style outline the necklace drop is holding the chain, and sitting in a loop as if she’s literally swinging from the wearer’s neck.

The Tight Rope Walker

While men walking tightropes between skyscrapers might not be as common now as it once was, this necklace provides an interesting throwback in the form of a tightrope walker who never falls, no matter how much you jostle him.
