Lovely Etsy Find of the Day

Yesterday, while helping one of my best girls from college move into her own (very cute!) apartment, I got to thinking about friendship; friendship necklaces, to be exact. Remember, back in the day, we all wore those split-heart necklaces? The popular girls' necks would be drowning in them; some girls had one special necklace; other girls were those "friendship bracelet" types. While watching the lovely Taylor haul her life-in-boxes up flights of stairs, all I could think of was how proud I was of her. It dawned on me that as we get older, the idea of friendship necklaces has dissipated and, while we get our friends presents, there really isn't anything which states, "We share a bond, and I'm proud of you. When you wear this necklace, think of our friendship." Having a true friend is the loveliest thing in the world, and there should be no reason to not celebrate friendship!

However, while the theory of the friendship necklace is lovely, the actual necklace of the split-heart is a little too much for the adult crowd. Lucky for us, Accent Creations specializes in beautiful, updated, and adult-looking friendship necklaces! The "Best friend pendant necklaces with flower and heart" is a classic necklace with a vintage twist; it still has the split-heart, however, the heart is brass, giving the necklace a very antiqued look. The addition of the hearts and gorgeous flower toggle adds the perfect vintage element to turn this necklace into a statement necklace, easily worn with any adorable dress, or jeans and white button down. This is certainly a present I would get for any of my girls, whether it's celebrating their first apartment, birthdays, weddings, or even just to say, "You mean the world to me."
