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 Silver Torque Necklace
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A torque necklace is a stiff metal ring or more aptly, a collar, made from a single piece or strands twisted together featuring an opening to slip it onto the neck. Torque is also frequently spelled torc or torq. Find a collection of vintage and modern torque necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    The best silver for a necklace is sterling silver; it is the best quality silver available in jewelry. 99.9% is the purest form of silver that you can get but it's too soft for jewelry production. Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. Globally, sterling silver is used as the standard for making silver necklaces. On 1stDibs, you can find an amazing selection of antique and vintage silver necklaces.

    What a silver heart necklace means is up to interpretation. Some people associate silver heart necklaces with affection and love. Others consider the heart a religious symbol and believe it represents divine love. Others may choose to wear silver heart necklaces simply because they like their appearance. Explore a range of heart necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    What the highest-quality silver necklace is depends on your definition of "high quality." If you mean the type that is the most pure, fine .999 silver is the answer. It is 99.9% pure silver, with the tiny remainder of its contents coming from trace elements. On the other hand, if you define quality by durability and longevity, .925 sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy metal, may be a better option. Fine .999 silver is soft and more reactive, making it more vulnerable to tarnishing and scratching than .925 sterling. Explore a diverse assortment of silver necklaces on 1stDibs.
