Ikita silver triangle necklace fuchsia coral enamel geometric

Five triangular plates in raspberry red, coral and fuchsia

The front of this Ikita necklace is a line of five triangular plates with softened corners, set point-down along a fine chain. The three bands repeat on every plate: raspberry red along the top edge, a narrower band of coral orange through the middle and fuchsia at the tip. Small domed silver-tone triangles sit between the plates and catch the light, so the colour never reads as one unbroken block.

Part by part

Here is what makes up the piece, from the coloured plates down to the chain and its adjustment.

Styling a horizontal line of colour

Colour laid flat across the collarbones asks very little of the rest of an outfit. Over a plain crew neck, the plates are the only colour in play, and the three bands carry enough contrast on their own. An open shirt suits it too: the line follows the collar instead of fighting it. Black brings out the fuchsia best in the evening. It does not layer well, so keep it on its own. If you want a second option rather than a second layer, look through the other fantasy necklaces.

Setting the length

At its shortest, the front sits high, just below the base of the neck, which suits a closed neckline. The 8 cm extender takes it to 28 cm, which sits low enough to clear a V-neck. The adjustment runs link by link, so you can move it a few millimetres either way. You are not locked into one length.
