I've got to be honest with you, I'm absolutely obsessed with cord necklaces. So much so that I now have 8 styles that I wear on rotation. The jewellery trend was already big last summer, but it's set to be huge this season.
Rope pendants are a refreshing change from gold or silver jewellery - although they look great layered with them to - and instantly elevate any outfit. At the moment, I'm loving them with knitted separates, but they'll look great come Summer with a white tank top and jeans or a paired-back linen dress, and sandals.
Made from a single string of rope or leather attached to a pendant, medallion, or stone, they hark back to the minimalism of the 90s and I'm here for it. So are the celebrities.
Style icons like Jennifer Lawrence and Emily Ratajkowski have been spotted wearing the trend on the streets of New York City, as have most influencers I follow.

Whatever your style is or budget, there is a cord necklace for you out there. I personally love stone pendants held together by a black cord, but there are some great mixed metal versions too. Look to COS, Massimo Dutti, Daphine and Missoma for some great styles.
Here are my favourite rope pendants to shop now, and I promise you, you won't regret it.
