It’s that one statement piece that is seen being worn by the celebrities and the fashion icons multiple times – that is, the T-bar necklace. What makes it unique is its toggle clasp – a classic T-shaped bar inserted through a ring.
T-bar's unique design is an adaptation of the jewellery design of the 1800s. To be precise, the design draws heavily from the Albert chain, a pocket watch chain worn during the Victorian era. At that time the jewellery had a very practical purpose: it was to keep the clock anchored to men’s waistcoats. Originally the T shape was used as a fastening piece, but the modern designers have transformed it into a hallmark style. Apart from seeing it as a piece of jewellery, some equate the design’s horizontal portion to stability and the vertical one to an element of growth and progress.
The piece soared into prominence after celebrities like Taylor Swift, Anna Hathaway et al. With the modern designers experimenting, today we get the T-bar necklaces coming in different styles and colours. Now it’s your turn to pick up one to match it with your attire and steal the show.
