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 Long Large Necklaces
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    What long necklaces are called depends on their length. Generally, pieces between 20 and 25 inches long are matinee necklaces, while ones that are 26 to 36 inches long are opera necklaces. Rope necklaces are the longest, measuring more than 36 inches in length. Explore a large selection of necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    What a long chain necklace is called depends on its length. Opera chains are 26 to 36 inches long and typically hang below the chest. At 37 inches and longer, rope chains are the longest styles and can be worn loose, layered, wrapped or knotted. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of chain necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Extra-long necklaces are usually called rope necklaces. They start at 37 inches in length and can be much longer. One of the biggest benefits of rope necklaces is that their length allows you to style them in different ways. For example, you can knot them, wrap them around your neck or layer them with shorter necklaces. On 1stDibs, shop a large assortment of necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Whether 24 inches is too long for a necklace depends on the person wearing it and their individual style. Taller people and those with wider necks may find 24-inch necklaces to be flattering. A 24-inch necklace can also be paired with a low-cut top or layered with shorter necklaces. Explore a large selection of necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    What large necklaces are called depends on the piece. Necklaces that are large because they have multiple strands, oversized pendants or other bold details are generally called statement necklaces. If a necklace is large in terms of length, its name varies. Opera necklaces are 26 to 36 inches long, while rope necklaces are 36 or 37 inches and longer. On 1stDibs, shop a large assortment of necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    No, a 20-inch necklace isn't too long for a woman. Called matinee length, the 20-inch necklace will usually fall below the collarbone and can be an attractive option for work or casual occasions. People with short necks may actually prefer this length because it helps to visually elongate the neckline. A 20-inch necklace can also be a good choice for creating layered necklace effects. Find a wide variety of necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    How long a necklace should be for a plus-size woman depends on what she intends to wear. Generally, 20- to 25-inch matinee-length necklaces are flattering options. However, a necklace should hit just above or below the neckline of tops and dresses. Depending on the style of garment with which you're accessorizing, you may want a longer necklace, like a 26- to 36-inch opera length, or a shorter 18-inch princess length. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of necklaces.
