Express yourself in NAJO's necklaces pendants chokers and chains
Through the millennia, necklaces have changed materials and shapes, but one thing remains the same. They tell stories imbued with meaning. They’re stories of religion, culture, royalty and mythology. And of sentiment, love and memories. Whether you buy a NAJO necklace, choker, pendant, or chain, your unique designer jewellery piece is imbued with as much beauty and meaning as the necklaces of the past. They’re necklaces that enable you to tell your story without words and express yourself creatively and beautifully while staying true to your personality.

Necklace designs for accessorising versatility
Most of our necklaces, pendants and chains feature a generous 5cm extension, so you can play with lengths to suit your style. Some chains are also available in two different lengths, ensuring you don’t miss out on the stunning design if you prefer to wear your necklaces short or long.
Necklace layering tips
If you’re experimenting with layering, we recommend finding a beautiful NAJO chain that anchors your stunning look. A chunky chain makes a statement, or you can soften your look with one of our delicate chains infused with intriguing detail.
Choose a long necklace to drape or wrap around twice or create a head-turning look with one of our shorter signature handcrafted pieces such as the art-gallery-worthy Spratling Necklace, NAJ ‘O’ Necklace or the heavenly Pool of Tears Necklace.

About our NAJO chains
Representing unbreakable bonds, our NAJO chains are exquisite. Our collections feature many types of chains that best complement the necklace design, including snake chains, paperclip chains, delicate trace chains, diamond-cut ball chains, belcher chains, round box chains, and twist chains.
The sterling silver chains, plated rose gold chains and plated yellow gold chains found on our meaningful pendants are crafted by our Italian master silversmiths using recycled silver. Some of our glorious signature necklace chains are designed and handcrafted in collaboration with our Mexican silversmiths, who have been part of our NAJO family since 1986!
