The former First Lady wore a gold necklace that spelled out “V-O-T-E” during her rousing speech on Monday night — and it was an instant hit on social media.

The chain is from ByChari, a small, Los Angeles-based boutique, that sells similar bling for around $300-$400.

Owner Chari Cuthbert told The Post she created a VOTE necklace for the 2016 election and was planning on selling one again this time around.

“I was honored when Michelle Obama’s stylist asked for one and am thrilled she is wearing it!” she said in a statement.

Several people appeared to be following Obama’s lead and looking for their own necklace from the brand on Monday night.

“Ok, seriously, where can we buy Michelle Obama’s VOTE necklace?” one person tweeted.

Another quipped, “The DNC convention was 95% cringe worthy and 5% Michelle Obama’s necklace.”
