Best Necklace (Under $5,000) – 2019 Winners

WINNER : Gabriel & Co.

Art Moderne necklace in 14K white gold with Y-knot pavement diamond bar

$1,555

MARC MAJORS: You’re covering a lot of ground here with this piece. You have a pavé diamond bar, a lariat and a tassel all in one. All three looks have been on trend, so why not combine them? Well done.

LINDY KAVANAUGH: Elegant and on trend, this necklace would be a great pick for layering with other necklaces, and I like how the tassel on the end adds a little movement and interest.

LAUREN LEVISON: The Y-necklace meets tassel and a little extra!
