While statement jewelry has recently dominated the fashion scene, simple, easy-to-wear pieces remain our favorites when it comes to timeless staples.
Bar necklaces are a go-to choice for celebrities and fashionistas who value sophistication over boldness. With their delicate design, these simple pieces offer a versatile touch to any outfit, no matter the season. Here are a few style icons who share our appreciation for this timeless accessory:

Drew Barrymore was honored with the Giving Tree Award at the 2013 Baby2Baby Gala at Book Bindery in a Tory Burch Spring 2014 dress styled with a gold nameplate necklace bearing the name of her daughter Olive Barrymore Kopelman.
“I work really closely with them because I wish that there were organizations like Baby2Baby for so many more areas in life,” said Barrymore in her speech. She was recognized for her active involvement with the nonprofit focusing on supplying Los Angeles families in need with essential baby gear and clothing for their children up to age 12.
“I think good people are inherent givers and so to have a place where you can give so much and it’s so local and so well organized and so perfect for mothers to share for mothers … I think this is the perfect organization for moms.”
