Necklaces are the hardest-working pieces in any jewelry box. One good chain carries you from a Tuesday grocery run to a Saturday wedding — and on auction night, necklace lots often open at some of the friendliest prices in the catalog. At Jewelry and More Auctions, the necklace trays draw the jewelry regulars and the coin crowd alike. Here are 7 styles worth watching when the bidding goes live tonight.
1. Classic chains — the everyday workhorses
A simple chain is the blue jeans of jewelry: it goes with everything and never goes out of style. Chains often open low at auction, which makes them a smart first win for new bidders learning the ropes.
2. Lockets — secrets you can wear
Lockets carry stories — a photo, a tiny note, a memory. Estate-style lockets are the lots that make bidders lean in close, and auction night is one of the few places left to find them at approachable prices.
3. Pendant necklaces — a pop of color at the collarbone
One bold pendant turns a plain top into an outfit. From sparkling stones to playful motifs, pendants are the jewelry-box equivalent of a plot twist — and they’re a bidder favorite because one piece does all the talking.
4. Pearls — the timeless classics
Pearls have survived every trend cycle for a century, and they’ll survive the next one too. A classic strand reads elegant at any age, and auction pearls often land well below jewelry-counter prices.
5. Red, white & blue — the patriotic picks
With the buzz around the US Mint 250th anniversary coins in our patriotic coins auction lineup, red, white, and blue enamel necklaces are riding the same wave. This American heritage collectibles auction isn’t only about 2026 silver eagle coins anymore — the jewelry cases are flying the flag too.
6. Station and layering necklaces — the modern stack
Delicate stations of beads or stones spaced along a fine chain were made for layering. Win one tonight, add another next week, and build a neckline that’s entirely yours.
7. Vintage-inspired statement necklaces — old-school glamour
Bold, beaded, unapologetic. Vintage-style statement necklaces bring 1940s–60s drama, and they’re catnip for bidders who love a little history with their sparkle. Our rainbow bird mascot, tiara and all, has declared these her personal favorites.
