The wishbone is a classic good luck symbol, so why not carry it with you all the time around your neck as a wishbone necklace? Every time you look down, you will be reminded that good luck and fortune are always with you.
The wishbone necklace is a trend that has really taken off, but everybody has a unique style. From the most basic to the diamond-studded, you can find the perfect one for you online.
I’ll start with the most basic wishbone necklace, the Sterling Silver Wishbone Pendant, 18″. The pendant and cable chain are both sterling silver, and the chain necklace is 18 inches. That makes this just a bit longer than most necklaces.
If you’re wondering about the size of the wishbone itself, it’s just a little smaller than a quarter. That’s tasteful, as anything bigger could look gaudy or tacky. When you see that the price of this necklace is less than $20, which is more than reasonable, you’ll probably agree that this is a great gift idea. Or, if you’re buying for yourself, it’s a perfectly justifiable splurge.
The MAKE A WISH Lucky Wishbone Pendant in Sterling Silver is also sterling silver, but this one comes on a 16 inch box chain. This is another great deal, also coming in at less than $20. I like this one because the necklace is just a little shorter. It would work great with a v-neck or plunging neck top.
If you love the Make A Wish pendant but you already have a chain you’d like to use with it, then get the MAKE A WISH Lucky Wishbone Pendant in Sterling Silver which is just the wishbone pendant on its own.
You can wear it on your own chain, whether it’s a short choker or a long one to layer with other necklaces. That lets you dress this up (for wear with a formal dress, for example) or dress it down (for a day of shopping).
I absolutely adore the 14k Yellow Gold Diamond Wishbone Pendant which is available in white gold or yellow gold. It’s stunning, as is anything that’s diamond-studded and set on 14 karat gold. That’s right, I said diamond-studded – this necklace comes with 28 tiny diamonds encrusting the wishbone.
The rope chain is delicate and doesn’t draw attention away from the wishbone, as it should be the center of attention. This is my absolute favorite wishbone necklace.
I also really like the Dogeared “Breast Cancer Find a Cure” Wishbone Charm Necklace, 18″. The proceeds from sales of this necklace go to organizations dedicated to helping women with breast cancer, and to breast cancer research.
This necklace is a little different from most of the other wishbone necklace choices, as it is gold-dipped rather than being made of sterling silver or solid gold. I especially like that the charm is made of recycled sterling silver. The company who makes this, Dogeared, is great jewelry company.
