The thing is, it's only a early to midgame item. If you don't choose a Doran's Shield for example you going to choose a Onyx (upcoming, read below) or a Ruby Crystal.

When you are getting the bigger items and you won't have a slot left, like the Doran's items you are going to sell them.

With Doran's items you get more stats in the beginning, but you can't upgrade the item. With the Necklaces you get less stats in the beginning, but you can upgrade them for better stats. Though there's is a higher price.
