10 Reverse Necklaces For Adorning Your Back

Oh, jewelry — how I love thee. Nothing makes me feel quite as special as putting on a supremely glorious piece of jewelry, particularly if it's funky and unexpected. Enter the reverse necklace: A gorgeous type of accessory that fulfills both of those qualities. And since an exposed back is all the rage for spring and summer 2016, it's only appropriate that the reverse necklace joins in.

As a daughter of a gemologist, jewelry has always been a huge part of my life. My mother and her three sisters own a few jewelry shops together; growing up, I would often spend the day with my mom in her office. I played with all of her tools (like those funny looking tweezers), looked through her binocular microscope, peeked inside a jeweler's loupe (that peculiar little magnifying glass you could fit in your pocket), and mostly typed on her typewriter.

Looking at diamonds, admiring engagement rings, and picking out pretty earrings I'd like to someday wear were the norm. Thus came my love for jewelry. Now, as a (kind of) grown woman, I still sift through my mom's collection at home and borrow some pieces here and there.

But perhaps my favorite pieces of jewelry are surprising, edgy, and the complete opposite of my mother's timeless items. That's where the reverse necklace comes in. It's the perfect accessory to throw on when you're rocking one of spring's biggest trends: Backless tops and dresses. It'll definitely be difficult to say no to these killer options.
