BFF Necklaces All Grown Up

Dec 29

Only the best for the best

They’re the peanut butter to your jelly, the yin to your yang, the Romy to your Michelle, the avocado to your toast. You and your best friend … name a more iconic duo, we’ll wait. Honor your alliance of amity—and maybe trigger a fond memory—with one of these pretty pairs of jewelry, made fully adult-appropriate with fine metals, precious stones, and elevated aesthetics.

**Knotty By Nature**

That friend you’ve been buds with for so long, you can’t even remember who used to be the bad influence? A matching pair of everlasting knots—like this pavé piece from diamond destination Alter’s Gem Jewelry—perfectly symbolizes your never-ending friendship (and all the secrets you’ll take with you to the grave).

**All of a Piece**

If you’ve known them for, like, ever, nothing says, “You complete me” quite like these interlocking puzzle piece necklaces from Retrouvaí. Designer Kirsty Stone named them after the French *retrouvailles*, meaning “reunion” or, as Kirsty puts it, “the joy of reconnecting with something from one’s past.”

**Linked Up**

Attached at the hip? Ease your separation anxiety with matching interlocked rings that are forever connected, from Seattle’s Valerie Madison who uses recycled materials and creates all of her work locally.

**Tell It Like It Is**

If she always gives it to you straight, Helen Ficcalora’s delicate disk charm keeps it simple with an engraved BFF and single dazzling diamond. Up the ante (and the nostalgia) with a second charm—from Helen’s extensive offering—that celebrates your friendship, like a golden G-clef for your best bud from band camp, or an airplane for your favorite travel companion.

**Close To Your Heart**

If the two of you have been keepin’ it real since 1992, may we suggest a real (as in real gold and real diamonds) version of the ultimate nostalgia trip? LA-based The Last Line (whose motto is that fine jewelry should be fun), has just the thing.
