Ikita Fantasy Necklace with Gold and Ivory Flowers

A floral collar necklace for a wedding guest outfit

Ceremonies are where this one earns its place. Its ivory and gold-tone palette follows the same logic as most guest dressing, so it adds shape without bringing in a colour to work around. It also sits wide enough to read in photographs, which a fine chain rarely does.

You will find it alongside our wedding ceremony necklaces, next to other floral pieces in white, blush and burgundy. It is a piece to wear on its own; a second chain layered over the top only crowds the design.

What the piece is built from

Thin metal stems branch out from the ribbon and carry the arrangement: enamelled blooms, frosted flower shapes, pearl-effect beads in two sizes and small leaves with a milky finish. Each flower holds a clear stone at its centre. The gaps between the stems are deliberate, so skin shows through and the necklace stays light-looking despite its width.

Gold-tone, ivory and clear stones together

Three tones do all the work, and they sit close enough together that nothing jumps out. Matt petals against glossy beads is what gives the piece its texture in daylight; under evening light the clear stones do more of the talking.

Sizing: 27 cm at the neck, 5 cm to play with

The necklace measures 27 cm at the neck and comes with a 5 cm extension chain closed by a golden clasp. Fastened short, the floral section sits right at the base of the throat. Let the chain out and the centre drop falls a little lower onto the collarbone.

If a wide collar is not the shape you had in mind, browse the full necklace edit, from chokers to long strands and compare lengths before deciding.

Looking after satin ribbon and pearl-effect beads

The ribbon ages before anything else does, so treat it as the priority: keep the necklace flat in a pouch instead of hanging it, and choose a dry drawer over a bathroom shelf. For the floral section, a soft cloth over the beads and petals after wearing keeps the finish even. And one habit is worth building: perfume and hairspray go on before the jewellery, never over it.
