Lebanon Necklace – Wear the Cedar That Stands for You
A Lebanon necklace is more than jewellery – it's a declaration of where you come from. At its heart is the cedar, Lebanon's national symbol, as a pendant you carry every day. Our Lebanon Collection includes necklaces, bracelets, rings, keychains, phone cases and mirrors – all crafted from premium materials and backed by a 365-day guarantee. Whether you grew up in Beirut, Tripoli, Dearborn, Sydney or Berlin: this necklace connects you to home. At d'origine, people from more than 40 countries show where they come from. The Lebanon Collection is one of the most popular in our entire range.
What Does the Cedar on the Lebanese Flag Mean?
The Lebanon cedar (Cedrus libani) is the oldest and most significant symbol of the country. It stands at the centre of the Lebanese flag – a green cedar on a white field, framed by two red stripes. The cedar represents eternity, strength and sanctity. It appears in some of the earliest texts in human history: in the Epic of Gilgamesh (c. 2100 BC), the hero journeys to the cedar forests of Lebanon. The Bible references the cedars of Lebanon repeatedly – King Solomon built the Temple in Jerusalem using Lebanese cedarwood. The Phoenicians, the ancient inhabitants of present-day Lebanon, used cedarwood to build their legendary trading ships that sailed across the entire Mediterranean. Today, the last ancient cedars stand in the Arz el-Rab (Cedars of God) in northern Lebanon – a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.
Lebanese Jewellery: Gold, Craftsmanship and Heritage
Gold holds an extraordinary place in Lebanese culture. Beirut was for centuries a centre of goldsmithing in the eastern Mediterranean. At Lebanese weddings, gifting gold to the bride is one of the most important customs – gold coins, necklaces and bangles are presented as symbols of prosperity, love and family bond. The Souk el-Dahab (Gold Market) in Beirut was one of the most important jewellery markets in the region well into the 1970s. In the diaspora, jewellery with Lebanese motifs serves a special purpose: a cedar around the neck, on the wrist or on a keychain makes belonging visible without a single word. Our Lebanon necklaces combine that cultural depth with modern design and materials built to last.
Material and Quality of Our Lebanon Necklaces
Our Lebanon Collection uses different materials depending on the product. The Lebanon necklace for men is made from high-quality stainless steel with 18K gold plating – rust-proof, waterproof and scratch-resistant. The women's version is crafted from 18K gold-plated brass and hand-set with zirconia stones for an elegant, sparkling finish. Both versions are waterproof and allergy-friendly: wear them in the shower, at the gym or every day. All products come with a 365-day guarantee. Each necklace is delivered in a premium jewellery box – a perfect gift for any occasion.
Lebanon Necklace for Men and Women
Our Lebanon Collection has something for everyone. The men's necklace features a 60 cm curb chain with a bold stainless steel pendant – the cedar in strong relief. The women's version comes with a finer 40 cm chain (plus 5 cm extension) and a zirconia-studded pendant – elegant yet equally expressive. Both are available in silver and gold. For those who want the complete look, the Lebanon Bundle pairs a necklace with a matching bracelet at a reduced set price.
Lebanon Necklace in Silver or Gold – Which One Suits You?
Gold carries deep significance in Lebanese culture – at weddings and family celebrations, gold jewellery has been the most meaningful gift for generations. The gold version of our Lebanon necklace honours that tradition: the 18K gold plating gives the cedar a warm, rich glow. The silver version offers a cooler, more modern look – and works perfectly for everyday wear. Both variants are waterproof and allergy-friendly. Many customers order both colours or add the matching bracelet bundle.
More Than a Necklace: The Full Lebanon Range
Beyond necklaces, our Lebanon Collection offers a wide range of accessories. The Lebanon bracelet pairs perfectly with the necklace and works on its own or as a set. The Lebanon keychain is ideal for anyone who wants to carry their connection subtly but daily. Especially popular: the Lebanon phone case, the Lebanon mirror with cedar design and the Lebanon ring. Every product combines Lebanese symbolism with premium material and everyday durability.
Buying a Lebanon Necklace – What to Look For
If you're looking to buy a Lebanon necklace, pay attention to three things: material, craftsmanship and chain length. For material, stainless steel and high-quality brass with 18K gold plating are the best options – far more durable than cheap fashion jewellery that tarnishes within weeks. For craftsmanship, check the cedar engraving: the branches and trunk should be cleanly worked and the relief clearly defined. For chain length, we recommend 55 to 60 cm for men and 40 to 50 cm for women. At d'origine, you order directly from our shop – no middlemen. We ship worldwide: free shipping within Germany, free across Europe on orders over €25, and affordable international shipping to the US, Canada, Australia, UK and beyond.
How Many Lebanese Are There Worldwide?
Lebanon has a population of around 5.5 million – but the Lebanese diaspora is many times larger. Estimates range from 8 to 14 million Lebanese and their descendants worldwide, making Lebanon one of the countries with the largest diaspora relative to its population. Brazil is home to the biggest Lebanese community outside Lebanon, estimated at up to 7 million people. Significant communities also thrive in Argentina, Australia, the United States, Canada and France. In the US alone, Lebanese Americans number over 1 million, with major hubs in Dearborn (Michigan), New York and Los Angeles. A Lebanon necklace with the cedar is, for many, a daily sign of that connection – quiet, but unmistakable. At d'origine, we understand this feeling, because that's exactly why we founded the brand: jewellery that makes heritage visible.
