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 Necklace Vintage Style
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    One of the best ways to choose a necklace style is to consider what tops and dresses you intend to wear the piece with, as different necklaces best complement varying necklines. For example, long chains and pendant necklaces work well with turtlenecks, while V-shaped pendants coordinate well with V-necks. For a scoop neck, choose a shorter pendant necklace with a curved shape. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    The most popular necklace style changes from season to season based on trends. However, some types of necklaces tend to remain fashionable year after year. For example, pearl necklaces and tennis necklaces are timeless picks. Precious metal chains like the oval link, curb link and snake chain are other good picks for those looking for a necklace that is likely to stay in style, no matter what's currently popular. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Although fashion trends do come and go, pearl necklaces generally remain in style season after season. Many people prize the color and shimmer of pearl necklaces, and since they can easily be mixed and matched with casual, business and dressy attire, they are highly versatile.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    There are many different styles of necklaces, and each type has its own name. Ones with metal links are chain necklaces, and those featuring gemstone-set links are tennis chains or tennis necklaces. A festoon is a necklace featuring swags of beads, chains or gemstones that extend from it at various points all around its length. Necklaces that have a Y shape with a chain hanging down are lariats, and those that consist of a chain and a charm are pendant necklaces. Locket necklaces have pendants with hinged closures that allow you to stash a photograph, lock of hair or other memento inside. Find a wide range of necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    A princess-style necklace is a necklace that is around 18 inches in length. The style is one of the most commonly worn lengths of necklaces because it usually hits just below the collarbone, making it well-suited for pairing with a wide range of dresses and tops. Princess-style necklaces come in a variety of types and are especially popular for displaying pendants. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of princess-length necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    The strongest style of chain for a necklace is a thick link chain. Link chains are the strongest type of chain because these chains do not have a bending point, and therefore can twist and be folded a number of ways without damaging the chain. There are many different types of link chains, including wheat chains, figaro chains, cable link chains, mariner link chains and curb link chains. When searching for a durable chain, avoid hollow chains and opt for independently soldered links that will never pull apart. Shop different styles of necklace chains and other jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Vintage-style rings are rings that draw inspiration from jewelry created 20 or more years ago. For example, a vintage-style ring may feature two-tone metalwork and an oval setting, which were attributes of jewelry designed during the Retro period, or the ornate geometric details and step-cut diamonds that are associated with the Art Deco era. Find a large collection of rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    What different styles of necklaces are called depends on factors such as their lengths, shapes and designs. A necklace composed of metal links is a chain, while a braided, tiered necklace is a festoon. Graduated necklaces feature gemstones or beads in various sizes arranged in a row. A lariat is a long necklace with a dangling pendant. Explore a variety of necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Whether charm necklaces are in style can vary based on personal tastes and current trends. However, many people continue to wear charm necklaces year after year.

    What makes a necklace vintage is its age. Any necklace made at least 20 to 80 years ago is vintage. Necklaces produced a century ago or more are antiques.

    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.

    Vintage Chanel jewelry always has a date stamp and logo located somewhere on the piece that you can use for authentication. Everything on the date stamp should be easy to read, and the Chanel logo should look immaculate. Fake logos are often hard to read and have mistakes in the font. All the details should be exquisite, and the necklace should feel substantial. If it feels light and cheap, it’s probably a fake. Shop a collection of authentic vintage Chanel necklaces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
