What does Annabeth's necklace mean in Percy Jackson and the Olympians? The series hasn't fully delved into the importance of the necklace Annabeth wears, but how come she gave her necklace to Percy in the finale episode?
Where is Annabeth's Necklace From? What Does It Mean?
For those who don't know, Annabeth Chase's necklace is similar to the orange Camp Half-Blood T-shirts.
The necklace is a part of the camp, meant to represent how long each demigod spent there, as well as their accomplishments.
As it turned out, the necklace is special to the demigods, to some extent. Each demigod gets their very own like Clarisse and Luke have, but the beads are what make the accessory unique.
In Annabeth's case, her necklace has five beads (colored green, red, orange, yellow, and pink) and a ring.
The five beads mean she's attended Camp Half-Blood every summer for the past five years, while the ring holds a different story.
The golden ring she has in the middle of the necklace was given to her by her father. It was his college ring as a remembrance of him and their relationship as a family.
Be sure to keep an eye out on their necklaces, because this is a crucial timeline of their adventures in the Percy Jackson series.
Meanwhile, why did Annabeth give her camp necklace to Percy in the finale episode of Season 1?

Why Did Annabeth Give Her Necklace To Percy?
In the last episode of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1, Percy insists that he has to face Zeus and deliver his bolt himself.
Naturally, Grover and Annabeth were completely against the idea, given the risk. As Annabeth said, Percy could get killed for either "stealing" Zeus' bolt or for being one of the forbidden sons of Poseidon.
Percy, as the brave boy he is, knew what he had to do. He knew that he had to take the risk to save his mother, Sally Jackson.
Worried about her friend's quest, Annabeth lends her camp necklace to him and says, "You're gonna need all the luck that you can get."
Following the trio's triumphant return to Camp Half-Blood, Percy Jackson gets his own necklace with a single black bead.
The single black bead represents the son of Poseidon's venture into the Underworld and how he managed to make it out alive. Thus marking the beginning of the hero's work as a demigod.
At one point, Percy and Annabeth will eventually start dating. Her necklace would still serve as an important reminder of their relationship.
In The Mark of Athena, Percy gives Annabeth a red coral pendant when they start dating. But more on that later once the series debuts more seasons.
