7 Grown-Up Best Friend Necklaces You'll Both Actually Want To Wear

by Wendy Rose Gould

Remember those middle-school days of yore when you'd go halvsies on a "best friends" jewelry set with your favorite buddy? Maybe you were a particularly generous youth, opting to splurge on a set yourself and then gift the other half to your BFF.

Either way, we can all agree it was better to be the "BE FRI" than the "ST END," right?

Whatever the case, we're advocating an adult-variety revival of the elementary school trend. Everything else from the '90s is back, after all. You can start with these modern versions.

For Your Best Bitch

Bitches have friends, too.

This one's sold as one and then you snap it apart before handing the other half over. It's available at Internet superstore Shop Jeen, which you're likely to get sucked into for at least an hour. Click with care.
