The do's and don'ts of men's necklaces!
The necklace Noah Lyles wore during his gold medal-winning 100m sprint appears to be made of white metal with mariner links adorned with three types of gemstones. He has worn this chain before, most notably during the 100m sprint at the 2023 World Athletics Championships.

As far as we can tell, the chain is mostly made of some sort of white metal alloy, which is usually platinum, white gold, silver, or some other gray metal when it comes to jewelry. The mariner links, which refer to the large oval chains used to anchor ships, are each separated by a line. The chain itself is worn very close to Lyles' neck, so that it doesn't hang or flap around as he sprints. The jewels themselves appear to be diamonds, alternating between yellow, black, and white variations of the stone, done in pavé, which is a way of setting diamonds onto metal so that they cover most of the metal.
