Silver necklaces may be as simple as a silver collar or as ornate as glittery and ostentatious marcasite necklace inspired by the golden age of the 1920's high society. Chain styles with silver gemstone pendants are plentiful as are marcasite jewelry featuring black onyx or pink mussel. Southwestern jewelry influenced by the presence of liquid silver or heishi and turquoise is extremely popular, specifically in shorter silver choker lengths as is the amber beads and amber cabachon, which offer up a softness and close tie to organic materials, uncharacteristic of gemstone materials.
