Necklaces
From Lostpedia
Necklaces are a form of jewelry that have been used in the storyline of Lost several times by various characters. While several necklaces are symbolic of religion, love, or philosophy, others are simply objects on strings put there for safekeeping and convenience, or purely for decorative purposes.

Necklaces and Love
Several necklaces have been worn by characters to symbolize their love for another person. Before coming to the Island, Sun refused a gift of a pearl necklace from Jae Lee, which he gave to her out of his love for her. After Jin beat Jae Lee on Mr. Paik's orders, Jae Lee flung himself from his apartment building window, falling to his death. In his hand was clutched the necklace he had attempted to give Sun, symbolizing that he died for her love. ("The Glass Ballerina")
On Kate's wedding day, Suzanne Callis gave Kate a beautiful locket which she had never been able to give to her daughter because all her children had been male. By giving her the necklace, Suzanne showed her trust in Kate, and her willingness to love her as a daughter that she had never been able to have. ("I Do")
On the island, Claire was known to wear a necklace. The necklace, made of red stone, was carved into a Chinese character. Translated, the character means "love." ("Tabula Rasa")
Religious Necklaces
Eko and Yemi, both being priests, wore crosses around their neck to symbolize their Christianity and status as priests. Yemi, and the rest of the crew were wearing their necklaces when the Beechcraft crashed on the Island, killing them. Eko later discovered Yemi's corpse on the island, and was able to identify it by the cross. Eko took it for his own, wearing it for the rest of his time on the island to show his renewed faith. ("The 23rd Psalm")
Necklaces for Safekeeping
Because Bernard's fingers would always become bloated on planes, Rose would keep his wedding ring on a string around her neck for safekeeping. While sitting on the beach after the crash, Rose would rock back and forth, clutching the ring, waiting for her husband. ("Pilot, Part 2") Rose wore the ring on the string for the majority of season one, until Bernard returned to her at the beach camp, and they tearfully reunited. ("Collision") She then presumably gave him back the ring.
Jack, throughout the first two seasons, wore the key to the Halliburton case around his neck, for safekeeping. The case was full of guns, and in order to keep the guns from falling into the wrong hands, Jack kept the key around his neck. When he first entered the Swan station, the key was drawn up from his chest until it pointed at the magnetic wall. ("Man of Science, Man of Faith") Finally, Jack took off the key necklace, ("The Long Con"), and its current owner is unknown.
Decorative Necklaces
Upon their arrival on the island, Ben and Roger Linus were greeted by DHARMA workers, and were given leis, decorative necklaces made of colorful flowers, in order to welcome them to the island. The leis were put around their necks by Casey and June. ("The Man Behind the Curtain")
Sawyer and Cassidy, as part of their career as cons, sold false necklaces for the price of real necklaces in order to earn money. ("The Long Con") Cassidy, after being left by Sawyer, attempted to try the con by herself, but was almost exposed by two skeptic men. ("Left Behind")
Charlie, on the island, wore a decorative corded necklace with no apparent meaning.
