Where Story Meets Craftsmanship: Necklaces Designed to Be Worn Close to the Heart

At Harry Glinberg Jewelers, a necklace is never just jewelry; it’s a deeply personal emblem of who you are, where you’ve been, and what you value most. Whether it’s the soft gleam of a minimalist gold chain, the fire of a perfectly cut diamond pendant, or the symbolism of a custom birthstone design, our necklaces are crafted with intention, precision, and care.

For over 25 years, Harry Glinberg has served as Milwaukee’s trusted jeweler, working with world-class athletes, high-profile entertainers, and generations of families looking for timeless quality with personalized service. Every necklace is thoughtfully chosen or designed to reflect a life moment, celebrate individuality, or elevate daily wear. Our clients come not just to purchase jewelry, but to find meaning, craftsmanship, and legacy.

Statement & Signature Pieces

For moments when subtlety isn’t enough, our statement necklaces offer bold, artful expressions of style and status.

Gemstone & Birthstone Necklaces

Gemstones carry stories of birth months, of spiritual meanings, of favorite colors and family roots. Our curated gemstone collection includes:

Birthstone necklaces in every month’s stone
Two- or three-stone designs to represent family members or couples
Bar pendants and clusters combining multiple stones in one custom piece
Layered looks mixing gemstones and diamond accents for texture and depth

Harry Glinberg’s team works closely with each client to source gems with meaning, offering natural, lab-grown, and alternative stones with ethical sourcing and certified grading.

Custom & Personalized Designs

No two lives are alike, so why should your necklace be? Our custom design process allows you to create a necklace that’s as unique as your story. Every detail is tailored, including:

Engraved coordinates, names, or dates for meaningful occasions
Custom lockets with hidden messages or photographs
Mixed-metal and two-tone designs for contrast and symbolism
Family or spiritual motifs such as crosses, stars, or initials
CAD renderings & 3D previews, allowing you to visualize and revise your custom piece before it’s crafted

With an in-house team of designers and bench jewelers, your necklace never leaves the studio until it’s perfect. All fabrication is done in Milwaukee with premium materials and decades of expertise.

Choosing the Perfect Necklace

Your choice of metal is more than just color; it determines wearability, longevity, and how a necklace fits into your lifestyle.

14K & 18K Yellow Gold: Classic, warm, and traditionally luxurious. Works beautifully with vintage and gemstone settings.
White Gold: Sleek, neutral, and ideal for diamonds and modern designs.
Platinum: The ultimate in durability and prestige. Hypoallergenic, with a bright, naturally white finish.
Rose Gold: Romantic, feminine, and a favorite for custom and vintage-inspired looks.

We also offer two-tone combinations for clients who want a necklace that bridges styles or matches mixed-metal engagement rings and accessories.

Harry Glinberg’s collection features a wide range of stone options, each carefully sourced and evaluated for quality, symbolism, and wearability:

Natural Diamonds: Timeless and rare, with lasting resale and heirloom value.
Lab-Grown Diamonds: Ethically made and visually identical to mined diamonds, often at 30–50% less cost.
Moissanite: A high-sparkle alternative to diamonds with excellent durability and rainbow fire.
Sapphires, Rubies, Emeralds: Color-rich classics that offer history, luxury, and symbolism.
Aquamarine, Morganite, Topaz: Affordable, colorful, and often chosen for personal reasons or modern aesthetics.

Each stone is hand-selected and presented with transparency. Clients are educated on the 4 C’s (cut, color, clarity, carat) and guided toward choices that reflect their personal taste and long-term goals.

Pendant settings and chain types must work in harmony, both functionally and visually. We help clients select from:

Prong or halo settings for maximum brilliance
Bezel or flush settings for secure, modern looks
Slide pendants for smooth movement along chains
Adjustable chains that shift between 16″, 18″, or 20″+ for layering or neckline versatility

Chain styles include:

Cable: Classic and lightweight
Box: Strong and square-patterned
Paperclip: Trendy, elegant, and great for statement pendants
Wheat or Rope: Textured and luxurious

Every chain is matched to your pendant in proportion, strength, and aesthetic to ensure long-term wear and visual harmony.
