T Bar Necklace - A Versatile and Elegant Accessory
A t bar necklace can be an elegant accessory to wear with a variety of outfits. A layered chain with links at either end makes it a versatile piece. If you are not sure which style of t bar necklace to choose, a traditional chain necklace might be more appropriate. Depending on your personal style, you can even wear a layered necklace with pendants. This type of necklace comes in gold or silver plating.
The origin of the T-Bar Necklace can be traced back to the early 1800s, when people began to wear pocket watches. 925 Sterling Silver was used for the pendant, and was hallmarked by the Goldsmiths' Company Assay Office. A T-bar pendant was then worn to hold the pocket watch securely in place through a button hole. As time went on, people began wearing the T-Bar pendant as a necklace, which resulted in the classic T-Bar Necklace.
