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. Today, Van Cleef necklaces, Tiffany necklaces and Cartier necklaces are some of the most popularly searched designer necklaces on 1stDibs.
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 David Webb necklaces — 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 Dior, Chanel and Bulgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more.
Questions About Navajo Jewelry Amber
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Navajo jewelry is so expensive for a few reasons. First, each piece is fully handmade, and the labor-intensive nature of the jewelry allows it to be sold for a higher price. The materials, such as precious metal and turquoise stone, also add to the expense. Plus, only a limited number of Navajo artisans make jewelry, resulting in a small supply relative to demand that increases cost. Antique Navajo jewelry may be more expensive due to its age and rarity. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Navajo jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024To identify Navajo jewelry, start with materials. Navajo artisans often use sterling silver and precious stones like turquoise and lapis lazuli in their designs. Navajo jewelry is crafted meticulously by hand, using traditional techniques that maximize quality. As a result, you usually won't find glue marks, solder marks or poorly cut gems on authentic Navajo jewelry. Pieces may also feature the artisan's initials as a maker's mark. In some cases, researching these initials can be helpful during the identification process. When in doubt about your jewelry, use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Navajo jewelry.
- Is amber jewelry valuable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Amber is one of the oldest gems made from the hardened resin of ancient pines. It is more valuable the lighter the color or if there are well-preserved organisms such as insects trapped within the gemstones.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024To tell the difference between Navajo and Zuni jewelry, study the inlay work carefully. Navajo jewelry usually features more silver between the precious stones. Zuni artisans typically emphasize intricate patterns with gemstones and utilize less silver to keep the eye focused on these stones. If you need help determining whether a particular piece is of Navajo or Zuni origin, consult a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of jewelry.
