Find an antique version now, or shop for 25 vintage or 28 modern creation for a more contemporary example of these cherished accessories. Making the right choice when shopping for an opera length necklace may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 19th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century, both of which have proven very popular over the years. Creating an opera length necklace has been a part of the legacy of many jewelers, but those produced by Ella Gafter, Michael Kanners and Tiffany & Co. are consistently popular. An opera length necklace of any era or style can lend versatility to your look, but a version featuring Pearl, from our inventory of 29, is particularly popular. A round cut version of this piece has appeal, but there are also brilliant cut and bead versions for sale. If you’re browsing our inventory for an opera length necklace, you’ll find that many are available today for women, but there are still pieces to choose from for unisex and men.
How Much is a Opera Length Necklace?
On average, an opera length necklace at 1stDibs sells for $3,510, while they’re typically $150 on the low end and $295,000 for the highest priced versions of this item.
Finding the Right necklaces for You
We are fortunate to know much of the world’s long and dazzling history of necklaces, as this type of jewelry was so treasured that it was frequently buried with its owners.
Lapis lazuli beads adorned necklaces unearthed from the royal graves at the ancient Iraqi civilization of Sumer, while the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber revealed a sense of style that led to a frenzy of Art Deco designs, with artisans of the 1920s seeking to emulate the elegant work crafted by Ancient Egypt’s goldsmiths and jewelry makers.
In ancient times, pendant necklaces worn by royalty and nobles conferred wealth and prestige. Today, wearing jewelry is about personal expression: Luxury diamond necklaces exude confidence and can symbolize the celebratory nature of a deep romantic relationship, while paper-clip chain-link necklaces designed by the likes of goldsmith Faye Kim are firmly planted in the past as well as the present. Kim works exclusively with eco-friendly gold, and these fashionable, fun accessories owe to the design of 19th-century watch fobs.
For some, necklaces are thought of as being a solely feminine piece, but this widely loved accessory has been gender-neutral for eons. In fact, just as women rarely took to wearing a single necklace during the Renaissance, men of the era layered chains and valuable pendants atop their bejeweled clothing. In modern times, the free-spirited hippie and counterculture movements of the 1960s saw costume-jewelry designers celebrating self-expression through colorful multistrand necklaces and no shortage of beads, which were worn by anyone and everyone.
Even after all of these years, the necklace remains an irrefutable staple of any complete outfit. Although new trends in jewelry are constantly emerging, the glamour and beauty of the past continue to inform modern styles and designs. In a way, the cyclical history of the necklace differs little from its familiar looped form: The celebrated French jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels found much inspiration in King Tut, and, now, their Alhambra collection is a go-to for modern royals. Vintage necklaces designed by David Webb — whose work landed him on the cover of Vogue in 1950, two years after opening his Manhattan shop — were likely inspired by the ornamental styles of ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt.
On 1stDibs, browse top designers like Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and Bulgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more.
Questions About Opera Length Necklace
- What is an opera necklace?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021An opera necklace is a long necklace of a size between 26 - 35 inches. It is worn as a single strand or doubled to create a fashionable two-strand choker. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of opera necklace options to choose from.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023What necklace length is the most flattering varies from person to person. Those with long necks may want to choose shorter necklaces like collars and chokers, while people with shorter necks may prefer 20- to 24-inch matinee lengths. Your height will also impact how different necklace lengths look on you, as an overly long necklace may overwhelm a petite person. Similarly, a short necklace may not stand out on a taller person. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of necklaces.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023Although opinions may vary, the most popular length of necklace is arguably 18 inches. Called princess-length necklaces, pieces that are 18 inches long usually hit just below the collarbone, so they can work with a wide range of necklines. The length is also good for showcasing a pendant. However, a shorter or longer necklace may be a better pick for some ensembles or for creating layered necklace looks. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of necklaces.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023The shortest necklace length varies from maker to maker. Generally, collar necklaces are the shortest options, and they can range from 12 to 14 inches in length. However, some jewelry makers may not offer collar necklaces and instead start their sizing with 14- to 16-inch chokers or the 18-inch princess length. Some makers do offer necklaces that are 10 to 12 inches long, but these pieces are usually intended for young children. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of necklaces.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023There is no single normal necklace length. Necklaces come in a wide range of sizes. Princess-length pieces, which are around 18 inches long, are one of the most popular options. There are also shorter 12- to 14-inch collar necklaces and 14- to 16-inch chokers. Longer styles include the 20- to 26-inch matinee and the 26- to 36-inch opera. Measuring 37 inches long or more, the rope necklace is the longest option. Explore a wide variety of necklaces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023The average necklace length for a woman is around 18 inches. Pieces of this length are known as princess-length necklaces. Women's necklaces are also available in shorter lengths, like the 12- to 14-inch collar and the 14- to 16-inch choker. Longer lengths include the 20- to 25-inch matinee, the 26- to 36-inch opera and the rope, which is 37 inches or longer. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of necklaces.
- What length necklace looks best?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023What length necklace looks best depends on two main factors: your neck and what you're wearing. Generally, necklaces that are 18 inches or longer create the illusion of a longer, thinner neck, while shorter necklaces like chokers and collars visually shorten and widen the neck. You typically want a necklace to fall above or below rather than right at the neckline of a top or dress. As a result, many people own necklaces in varying lengths to match different outfits. Find a wide range of necklaces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023The most popular necklace chain length is arguably 18 inches. Called the princess length, the 18-inch chain works well on its own or with pendants. However, many people do prefer necklaces in other lengths. Shorter collar and choker necklaces can work well with strapless tops or for visually shortening a long neck, while longer necklaces can elongate the neck and are a great pick for layering. Shop a large selection of chain necklaces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023Which necklace length will match your neckline varies. For many necklines, a princess-length necklace, which measures around 18 inches long, will work nicely. However, a necklace should generally hang above or below the neckline, so some tops and dresses will look better with longer or shorter necklaces. The best approach is to have necklaces of varying lengths in your collection so that you can try on different pieces to see what works best with individual outfits. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of necklaces.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Short necklaces are typically best for petite women who are 5'3'' tall or shorter. Chokers that are around 16 inches long are often flattering. Princess necklaces that are 17 or 18 inches long are another popular option for petite women. However, the length of a necklace is always a matter of personal preference and style. Explore a large collection of necklaces from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
