Ikita coral orange bib statement necklace ethnic medallion drops

What makes up this orange and coral bib necklace

A row of oval plaques runs across the front, each one banded in orange and coral around a small yellow centre and framed by a fine sparkling silver-tone surround. Between them sit short rectangular tiles and slim bars set with tiny yellow or coral beads. Below that row hangs a fringe of teardrops in pale pink, coral and orange, with one larger yellow drop right in the middle.

Necklines it sits well on

The piece is short and wide, so it needs a stretch of bare neckline to read properly. A boat neck, a round neck or an open shirt collar all leave enough room. Keep the rest quiet: single studs rather than long earrings, and no second chain layered on top. Cream linen, white cotton and navy let the warm tones come forward, while a busy print pulls attention away from them. For other colourful pieces in the same spirit, look through our colourful necklaces to wear every day.

From 21 to 28 cm, and how it fastens

The chain measures 21 cm with a 7 cm extender, so the plaques can sit high at the base of the neck or drop a little lower. A lobster clasp opens with one hand and stays put through the day. The necklace also stays light, which matters on a front section this wide.

The Orange Sunset necklace at a glance

One detail worth a second look in the photos: each teardrop hangs from its own small loop, so the fringe moves freely instead of sitting flat.
