A Necklace is an article of jewellery that is worn around the neck. Necklaces may have been one of the earliest types of adornment worn by humans. They often serve Ceremonial, Religious, Magical, Or Funerary purposes and are also used as symbols of Wealth and Status and are commonly made of Precious Metals and Stones.

The main component of a Necklace is the band, chain, or cord that wraps around the neck, and often have additional attachments suspended or inset into the Necklace itself. These attachments typically include Pendants, Lockets, Amulets, Crosses, Precious and Semiprecious materials such as Diamond, Pearls, Rubies, Emeralds, Garnets, and Sapphires.

Ancient Civilizations adorned themselves with Necklaces crafted from various materials, symbolizing status and cultural significance, they held deep meaning and were often worn as a representation of one's place in society. In Ancient Egypt, the intricate designs and craftsmanship of Necklaces reflected the advanced skills of Ancient Artisans.

From Mesopotamia to Ancient Greece, Necklaces were believed to offer Protection and Ward Off Evil Spirits also as Symbols of Religious Beliefs. Throughout history to the present day, Necklaces are worn to reflect changing Fashion Trends and Societal Influences but also served as Symbols of Power and Prestige.  Religious influences have played a significant role in Necklace trends and as a reflection of the Wearer's Identity and Beliefs.
