Choosing a Howlite necklace

Necklaces sit protected against the body, so even softer stones work well. For color, look for an even white tone, and match the metal to your skin tone and budget.

Best metals and settings

Howlite pairs well with sterling silver. An open setting lets more light into the stone. Compare options in our metal guides.
