It’s no secret that a dazzling necklace is (and always will be) the key to a woman’s heart. But now we’re also calling the alluring accessories our best-kept business secrets. Zoom calls mean that we get to swap out stiff pants and unflattering pencil skirts for a sumptuous array of statement necklaces. And what better excuse to ramp up your jewelry box with our top picks— It’s just a professional move to land the right clients right?
When most of your first interactions occur over video, how you decorate your decolletage says a lot about you—personally and professionally.

And a diamond adds a little sparkle to get you through the grind.
But not all purchases are about how you appear on screen. Stylishly sentimental necklaces remain standout gifts (for someone else or yourself). A birthstone pendant symbolizes unique promise and prosperity. An alphabet or name chain speaks to one’s adored individuality. And dainty versatile necklaces allow you to wear the sweet sentiment close to your heart as a daily reminder of a beautiful romance.
At the end of the day, your jewelry box tells many tales—tales of relationships, style, and self-love.
