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.

While pearl earrings can complement a pearl necklace, you're free to mix and match pieces as you see fit.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    To tell a quality pearl necklace, examine the individual pearls one by one. Each pearl has its own unique texture. If all of the pearls on a piece look and feel completely identical, the necklace may not be genuine. Also, look at how light reflects on the surface of the pearls. On high-quality pearls, reflections will look bright and sharp, while fairer pearls will show off weak or blurred reflections. You can also have your necklace evaluated by a licensed appraiser or knowledgeable dealer to assess its quality. Find a large assortment of pearl necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    What earrings you wear with a pearl necklace is up to you, as there are no hard-and-fast rules for mixing and matching jewelry. A unified look can include a pair of pearl studs or dangles, while one that mixes things up can feature diamond studs, gold or platinum hoops or dramatic dangle earrings. Selecting pieces that contrast with the scale of your necklace can create dynamic looks. For example, you could pair simple earrings with a multi-strand pearl necklace or bold statement earrings with a single strand of pearls. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    What necklace you wear with pearl earrings is ultimately up to you. Pearl earrings are very versatile and coordinate with many different necklaces. One way to approach pairing is to consider scale. If you're sporting a large pair of pearl studs or dramatic dangling pearl earrings, choose an understated necklace like a single string of pearls or a pendant necklace. Or, balance small pearl studs or button earrings with a bolder statement necklace like a chunky gold collar, dramatic festoon or multi-strand pearl necklace. Find a large selection of necklaces on 1stDibs.

    What the planet pearl necklace means is open to interpretation. Vivienne Westwood is the designer of the popular necklace, and its actual name is the Orb necklace.

As a result, some people associate the Orb necklace with power and prestige. Find a selection of Vivienne Westwood jewelry on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To determine whether a pearl necklace is modern or vintage, first look for signs of wear, such as blunted edges on the prongs. The pearls will likely have dull spots where they came into contact with skin. The clasp can clue you in, too. Lobster clasps appeared in the 1970s, while early 20th century clasps were generally safety-pin style or C-clasps. Modern necklaces typically have a spring-loaded clasp. Shop a selection of vintage pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Whether the pearls on Vivienne Westwood necklaces are real or not depends on the piece. Some of the brand's necklaces, like the iconic Orb Necklace, feature genuine pearls.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Yes, the pearls on some Vivienne Westwood necklaces are real. The luxury brand produces some necklaces out of real cultured pearls. Others feature imitation pearls. If you're unsure whether a particular piece has real or synthetic pearls, examine the necklace closely. Real pearls will usually have a rough or sandy texture and will show off slight variations in shape, while synthetic pearls tend to be smooth and uniform. Find an assortment of Vivienne Westwood jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Yes, you can wear pearl earrings with a gold necklace if you wish. Pearls can complement yellow, white and rose gold equally well. You can create a more cohesive look by choosing pearl earrings that feature gold settings in the same tone as your necklace. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Yes, Vivienne Westwood pearl necklaces can tarnish if they're made of sterling silver. Any sterling silver piece may develop a tarnish over time. Tarnishing occurs when sterling silver reacts with compounds found in chlorine, salty or humid air, chemicals in cleaning and beauty products and other substances. To reduce the risk of tarnishing, remove your necklace before you shower or apply skin care products. You should also clean it regularly, following the care instructions provided by Vivienne Westwood. Find a selection of Vivienne Westwood jewelry on 1stDibs.

    The Vivienne Westwood pearl necklace means justice and royal power, according to Westwood. The legendary British fashion and jewelry designer introduced a three-row choker featuring her signature logo, which was inspired by the Sovereign's Orb that is part of the British crown jewels with a ring of Saturn, in 1990. The logo dates back to Westwood's Harris Tweed Fall 1987 runway collection and a knit sweater she imagined for Prince Charles that featured this design, mixing the traditional and futuristic.
