The 20 Best Gay Necklaces To Step Up Your Neck-Candy Game!

Gay necklaces are all the rage these days in the queer fashion world. And why shouldn’t they be? Of all types of jewelry, from rings, bracelets, and anklets, earrings, etc., necklaces are arguably the most important in terms of accentuating an outfit.

To be sure, necklaces can be very impactful when it comes to making – or breaking – an overall look. So it is absolutely no surprise that the LGBT community is on to the necklace craze as well – gay fashion is usually right on top of the hottest trends. It has been said that as trends go, so too do LGBT trends. In fact, we happen to think it’s the other way around.

If you have never been much of a gay necklace enthusiast in the past, we might encourage you to consider broadening your style horizons. These accessories are highly in vogue right now (broadly speaking), as mentioned earlier, and are likely to remain so for some time, so we might as well get used to seeing a lot of them. And there is no better time to start getting in on the trend yourself than right now.

Neck candy can add so much to your fashion repertoire in terms of not only bringing a more dynamic, and in some cases more complete, quality to a look but also in lending some oft-needed variety.

And if you need further convincing to get on the necklace-wearing bandwagon, perhaps in the form of celebrity inspiration, then we say to you look no further than Jojo Siwa’s J-Nation necklace, replete with floating diamond at this year’s AMA awards; or the ultra-fabulous Billy Porter and his sapphire and diamond statement necklace at the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards; or Emily Blunt who hosted the CDFA Fashion Awards in a serpent-motif green enamel and diamond show-stopper of a necklace. We could go on and on.

If these jaw-dropping pieces of neck candy don’t do anything for you, well then we just don’t know what to say to you! And just so you know: there are a few need-to-know rules for all you LGBT necklace noobs out there. Don’t worry, we won’t belabor them here, but we will run through them very briefly.

One is that you need to choose a necklace that works with your neckline. Two is that your necklace needs to suit not only your personal style but also, of course, the given outfit you are pairing it with (be it a bodysuit, crop top or festival ware) for the necklace needs to coordinate with the aesthetic and vibe you are going for.

Number three: (there are two schools of thought on this and neither are wrong; it’s simply a matter of preference), but do you think the necklace should grab its own attention, or should it merely be there to accentuate a look, to embellish it?

That is a question you will have to answer for yourself. Either way, you must go with what makes you feel best about you, for when all is said and done that is the purpose of fashion. We, of course, are all about fashion that makes you feel pride. We are about style that makes you feel fierce, relentless, indomitable, unstoppable.

We love showing things that send you along your path of self-discovery and aid you in unleashing that fierce gay pride beast within you that wants to tear down all the old convoluted paradigms rooted in prejudice and discrimination and build a world founded on equality, and social justice for all. We are here to help you achieve that.

Spread pride and encourage others everywhere you go with these beautiful gay pride necklaces. There are plenty here to choose from so there has to be something present on this list of the best gay necklaces that will suit just about any style and taste. So feel free to peruse at your leisure. And most of all, enjoy.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg Necklace

Pay tribute to the legendary U.S. Supreme Court Justice and champion of gay rights with this stunning LGBTQ necklace, which lovingly imitates the late Mrs. Ginsberg’s unmistakable style.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg undeniably changed the course of LGBTQ history in America and has inspired millions around the world to strengthen their resolve in their struggle for equality. She was the first Supreme Court Justice to officiate a same-sex wedding ceremony, same-sex marriage recognition being a cause which she championed successfully throughout her long career.

Ginsberg was also known for her signature fashion when it came to eyeglasses, earrings, and of course, necklaces. Now you can have that style for yourself and pay tribute to this staunch social justice warrior.

Harajuku Style Crystal Choker Necklace

For those who don’t follow fashion and may not know: Harajuku refers to a trendy boutique district of Tokyo which is a sort of oriental analog to places like say, Soho. A popular haunt of Tokyo’s young crowd and a safe place for the LGBTQ community there, Harajuku is known for the colorful, bombastic style associated with it, a style closely linked with cosplay couture.

Harajuku style is the inspiration behind this beautiful crystal choker. It has plenty of sparkle, so if you like to instantly grab attention when you walk into a room, then this is for you. The letter necklace comes in a variety of styles, so with it, you can say exactly what you please, and it also pulls a bit of inspiration from the Harajuku Girls pop group.

Freddie Mercury Pendant Necklace

Pay tribute to the sensational, one and only rock god from Zanzibar with this fabulous pendant necklace. If you have ever listened to pop music at all then you’ll likely know who this is.

The late, great Queen frontman is remembered for his effortless flair both on the stage and off. It was effortless for him because he was a rock star down to his very core, and he remains an LGBT icon not merely because he was a gay man but because he was the very personification of pride.

He was a man who was embraced who he was in with every fiber of his being. If you would like to emulate that, then we could think of no better way to start than with this rocking pendant.
