The answer

If it is established that wearing necklaces has become a prevalent custom for both men and women in your country, then it is not considered imitation. However, if this attire is predominantly worn by those who commit sins, then wearing them is prohibited. It must be noted that those who commit sins and are promised a curse are exposed to it, even if they have other good deeds, and they are subject to the will of Allah.
