Ruling on wearing necklaces for men

What is the ruling on wearing necklaces for men? Please note that this is not by way of imitating (women); nowadays it has become quite common among men, and it is no longer limited to women. Sometimes it is worn because of necessity. Does this come under the heading of imitating women?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is proven that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade men to imitate women and women to imitate men. 
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, . 
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed men who wear women’s clothing and women who wear men’s clothing.
Narrated by Abu Dawood, classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him). 
It says in al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah, There is no difference of opinion among the fuqaha’ that it is haraam for men to imitate women in their movements, soft speech, adornments, clothing and other things that are exclusively theirs according to custom or nature… Ibn Daqeeq al-‘Eid gave as a guideline on what it is haraam to imitate them in as being whatever is exclusively theirs, whether it is the thing itself or the way it is made or the fact that it is more commonly made for women, and the converse is also true.
