Do you know what station necklaces are? Shapes and colors vary, but consistent patterns on metal chains make station necklaces easy to spot. Do not overlook this simple and classic luxury jewelry trend. Station necklaces bring balance to your look, effortlessly!

What are Station Necklaces?

Station necklaces are simple, metal chain necklaces. They’re embellished with gemstones, shaped pieces of metal, or other objects placed at specific points on the chain. There are many variations of this classic style, but all station necklaces have a pattern of evenly placed gemstones or metal charms, to break up the plainness of the chain.

History of Station Necklaces

The first station necklace dates back to 1974. Referred to as “Diamonds by the Yard,” this style was designed for Tiffany & Co by the talented Elsa Peretti. Elsa’s masterpiece featured a chic casual chain with bezel set diamond stations. This classic piece was well received at that time.

After fading a bit, station necklaces regained their popularity in 1996 with the introduction of the “Tin Cup” necklace, named for the movie it was featured in. Actress Rene Russo wore a pearl station necklace in this romantic comedy, making it famous instantly. The Tin Cup necklace brought a new twist to station necklaces, trading diamonds for ravishing pearls and trading metal for knotted silk cord. This sophisticated creation started a trend that lasted for years before the frenzy died down again.

In 2008, station necklaces reemerged as a fashion must-have, and they are still in style today.
