As ancient symbols of love and commitment, chains and interlocking loops in precious metals make ideal holiday gifts – especially when there are so many fresh new options.
Many designers offer pieces in silver as well as gold, providing chic options starting at a couple hundred dollars and ranging up to tens of thousands.
Ippolita at Neiman Marcus
Ippolita, one of the most popular designers at Neiman Marcus, offers a loopy collection called Cherish. Her $2,295 Cherish Bond interlocking loop pendant necklace in 18-karat gold with diamonds is both beautiful and meaningful. Neiman’s also stocks it in solid gold for $1,495 and sterling silver at $245.
