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 Tennis Chain Necklace
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    A tennis chain is called a tennis chain due to the history of tennis bracelets. The name comes from an incident involving tennis player Chris Evert. In 1978, at the US Open, she lost a diamond-set link bracelet during a match and asked the officials to pause the action while she looked for it. People have referred to bracelets and chains of a similar style by the term "tennis" ever since. On 1stDibs, explore a range of tennis chains.

Alternatives include white sapphires, white quartz and clear crystals. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of tennis chains from some of the world's top dealers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Whether tennis chains are durable depends on a few factors. First, the metals used to produce them need to be resistant to scratching and breakage. Good options include platinum and 14- and 18-karat gold. How well it's made will also affect the durability, as will its thickness. Generally, thicker tennis chains are stronger than thinner options. Keep in mind that even the best-made tennis chains may break or become scratched if worn during active activities like performing household chores or playing sports. On 1stDibs, find a selection of tennis chains.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The term “tennis necklace” means a piece of jewelry worn around the neck that consists of a continuous series of precious gemstones of matching size and shape. Most often, diamonds are the stones featured in tennis necklaces. Find a range of tennis necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Generally, a tennis necklace should sit just above or below the neckline of whatever a person is wearing. For most people, tennis necklaces that are 16 to 18 inches long are ideal. However, some may wish to wear a longer piece if they are tall, have a wide neck or are wearing a low-cut top or dress. Explore a collection of tennis necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    How thick a micro tennis chain is varies. Generally, the term "micro" refers to tennis chains that are 1 to 4 millimeters thick. Their designs usually feature smaller diamonds than standard tennis chains, so they typically have lower total karat weights. On 1stDibs, explore a range of tennis chains.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    Whether tennis chains break easily depends on several factors. Thickness will help determine a chain’s strength, with thinner chains typically being more delicate than thicker ones. Craftsmanship and metal type will also influence a chain’s breakage resistance. Keep in mind that any necklace can break if it gets pulled on or suffers a large impact. It's a good idea to remove your tennis chain before exercising, playing sports or doing any other activity that could potentially damage it. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of tennis chains.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    There is no single best length for a tennis chain. While the most popular lengths are 16 and 18 inches, you may prefer a longer necklace if you like your jewelry to sit lower on your chest, or you want a piece that will visually elongate your neck. One way to decide is to cut pieces of string or yarn to various lengths and place them around your neck to see which length looks best. Find a selection of tennis chains on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The number of carats in a tennis chain is dependent on the length of the chain and the size of the diamonds set in it. These are both up to personal preference, as the larger the diamonds, the thicker and heavier the chain will be. Shop a sparkling collection of tennis chains on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    The kind of diamonds in most tennis chains are the round brilliant cut. The circular shape of the cut works well when set in metal links to create tennis necklaces, and the arrangement of the facets gives the gemstones plenty of sparkle.

On 1stDibs, find a large selection of diamond tennis chains.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
