Written by GLDN Team — December 06, 2024

You’re probably having flashbacks to elementary school, right? Best friend necklaces bought from vending machines and mall kiosks, made of questionable plastic that melted in the sun and way too much glitter.

Don’t fear, modern friendship jewelry is here. You know, timeless pieces made with real gold and sterling silver that, on the surface, you wouldn’t think are friendship jewelry pieces at all—and that’s the magic of it!

From custom BFF necklaces with birthstones to minimal friendship rings inscribed with names or phrases, here are our top 10 favorite ways to tell the story of your friendship in a way that rings true to you.

First, our favorite modern best friend necklaces:

Modern Friendship Necklaces

Aura Pendant Necklaces with your birthstones

Our bestselling Aura Gemstones have long been loved to represent family…but they’re perfect for representing friendship, too. Choose the birthstone of your BFF (or BFFs!) and layer with all of your favorite chains. These gemstones are dainty enough to stack up several to represent all of your closest friends.

Zodiac Necklaces with your signs

Add each of your signs to our Diana Necklace (the quintessential oval pendant!) and wear a few on one chain. It’s such a sweet reminder that, against all odds, you found each other across the cosmos…and you’ll always be the brightest star in each other’s sky. 🥹

Endless Necklace Sets made to share

Choose a set of two, three or four curved pendant necklaces that come together to form a circle of friendship (aww!). If you’ve been on the hunt for a modern, understated friendship necklace, this is the one. No one will even know it’s a friendship necklace except the ones wearing it, and that’s what matters.
