Get A Necklace Extender And Stop Choking On Too Short Strands

What: Necklace Necessities, $19.95

Why: It's happened too many of us--he looks lovingly into your eyes, excitedly places a velvet box in your hands, you unwrap it, and behold a beautiful necklace!  Ugh, a beautiful necklace that doesn't fit. Alas, even with the best intentions, sometimes the fellas—or ladies, for that matter—just can't seem to get it right when it comes to jewelry.

Too short, too tight, or simply ill-fitting necklaces don't have to be a holiday-ruiner anymore, thanks to Necklace Necessities' new line of adjustable necklace extenders. The package of three extenders includes one silvertone extender, one goldtone extender (which extend from 3.5 to 6 inches), and one non-adjustable 4-inch “faux” pearl extender. All work beautifully to turn those oh-so out-of-style chokers into classic, work-ready pieces. As for your go-to "Oh honey, I love it but it just doesn't fit" excuse, you're on your own…
