We wouldn’t blame you for asking us how to find the best men’s necklaces on Amazon—at first search, the jewelry situation can seem bleak in Bezos-ville. Much like turning up quality menswear on the everything store, finding a good necklace there isn’t hopeless. It just requires an expert eye and some spare time, both of which we happen to have. And in digging into Amazon’s deepest recesses for endorsable necklaces, we’ve turned up a motley mix of 15 glitzy, DIY-inspired joints and designer gems. Look past the bizarre names and slightly off-putting product shots, and you’ll see something for everyone: chain necklaces and pendants, gold-plated pieces and simple stainless steel. Necklaces with everyman appeal and wilder necklaces that’ll dominate a summer fit. Oh, and puka shells. They’re back!

You probably know this, but don’t expect solid gold, sterling silver, or precious gems at Amazon prices. But what the 15 necklaces we’ve found lack in luxury materials, they deliver in...well, delivery speed. They’re all ready to arrive at your doorstep before you can say “click to add,” along with some bulk toilet paper and a fresh white tee or three. Though only one of those will make your neck shine this summer.

Oh, and if you don’t see something here that fits the bill, check out GQ’s favorite affordable jewelry, or go wild and scope out the best necklaces for men, price be damned.
