2 Necklace

Today, some young people in China choose to give their loved ones a necklace to seal the love they have for one another. They believe it means "tying you to my side", just like the bracelet did for ancient Chinese people.

Necklaces are often made with gold or platinum, sometimes with diamonds or gems, so they can be expensive.

However, some men prefer more expensive things to give to their female friends rather than a necklace when they don't want to cause any misunderstanding.
