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 Bvlgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more.
Questions About Real Pearl Necklaces
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A real pearl necklace can cost between $100 and $100,000—sometimes even more depending on when it was made. Pearl price is typically dependent on both the type of pearl (freshwater, Akoya, South Sea, to name a few) and the designer. If you're buying a strand of pearls from an established jewelry house, they will likely be on the more expensive end of the spectrum.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Whether 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. Others feature synthetic pearls or white beads that resemble pearls. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Vivienne Westwood jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Yes, 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.
- Are black pearls real pearls?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023Yes, some black pearls are real pearls. Genuine black pearls typically come from Tahiti, sourced from black-lip pearl oysters. Some jewelry features synthetic black pearls created in laboratories. Explore a selection of black pearl jewelry from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- Are Marvella pearls real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024No, Marvella pearls are generally not real pearls. The American jewelry maker typically used simulated pearls crafted out of glass and other materials to produce its signature multi-strand necklaces and chandelier earrings. However, some of the company's pieces are highly sought by collectors and still have value as a result. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Marvella jewelry.
- Are cultured pearls real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, cultured pearls are real pearls. However, they're not naturally occurring pearls. Instead, they come from oysters raised on farms and are the product of human intervention that encourages the development of pearls. Most pearls available on the market are cultured rather than natural. Shop a wide range of pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Is the Mabe pearl real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Mabe pearls are real. A Mabe pearl is a composite blister half-pearl grown against the inside of the mollusk’s shell, instead of the mollusk’s tissue. You’ll find a large variety of Mabe pearl jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Are Tiffany pearls real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Tiffany pearls are usually real pearls. Tiffany & Co. uses white Japanese akoya pearls in most of their fine jewelry. A few pieces combine the pearls with diamonds and other gemstones. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Tiffany pearl jewelry.
- Do real pearls have a clasp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, real pearls can be on a strand with a clasp. The addition of a clasp has nothing to do with determining if the pearls are real or fake. The clasp is simply a design aspect for the piece of jewelry. Always purchase real pearls from a reputable seller to ensure authenticity. Shop a large collection of authentic pearl jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Are Chanel pearls real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Although some Chanel jewelry contains real freshwater pearls, much of their costume jewelry is made from coated glass, though they are still high quality.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if a pearl is real, examine it closely. Genuine pearls are reflective and lustrous, while fakes won't have reflective properties. A real pearl will be cool to the touch and warm up when worn. One test is the "tooth test," where you rub the pearl against your front teeth. If the texture is slightly rough, then it's a genuine pearl. Shop a collection of expertly-vetted pearl jewelry from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Are freshwater pearls real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023Yes, freshwater pearls are real. They come from mussels that are naturally found in lakes and rivers. However, it is rare to find naturally occurring pearls of any kind. As a result, most of the freshwater pearls used in jewelry are cultured. The term refers to pearls created by freshwater-dwelling mussels with the assistance of human intervention. Pearls produced with this process are real, but they are not natural. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of pearl jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023To tell if Navajo pearls are real, first look at the clasp. Genuine pieces produced by Navajo artisans will usually feature an open-hook clasp. Also, examine the sterling silver beads that make up the necklace carefully. Because artisans craft each one by hand, no two beads will be identical. A necklace with completely uniform beads is unlikely to be genuine. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Navajo jewelry.
- Are real pearls smooth or rough?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Real pearls are generally rough rather than smooth. People may describe the texture of real pearls as sandy or gritty, while faux pearls tend to feel glassy. The roughness comes from the natural nacre that forms the pearl. Find a diverse assortment of pearl jewelry from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Real Mikimoto pearl jewelry will have a mark on the back or inside of the piece that is either the Mikimoto name, an “M” logo or the outline of an oyster. In addition, strands of pearls will have a dangling “M” charm. Mikimoto stores and authorized retailers will also appraise and issue a certificate of valuation for any Mikimoto piece. Browse a variety of expertly vetted Mikimoto pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- How much does a real pearl cost?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The cost of a pearl can vary substantially. A pearls value is dependent on factors such as type, size, color, and surface quality. The cost of a pearl ranges from around $300 to $1500.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To tell if Mikimoto pearls are real, look for the brand's hallmark. Depending on the piece, you may see an outline of an oyster or the full brand name. On necklaces and bracelets, the mark is on the back of the clasp. Earrings show it along the post, while pendants bear the name on the back of their bails. On 1stDibs, find a collection of expertly vetted Mikimoto pearl jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Basra pearls, which originate from the Persian Gulf, are usually much lighter than other varieties of pearls and tend to have irregular shapes. When you feel a genuine Basra pearl, it will be cool at first, then warm up when worn. Authenticate a Basra pearl with the "tooth test," where you rub the pearl against your front teeth. If the texture is slightly rough, then it's a genuine pearl. Shop expertly-vetted Basra pearl jewelry from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023To tell if pearl earrings are real, examine them up close. Because real pearls come from oysters and mussels, they are usually not perfectly round, and their natural materials give them a slightly rough or sandy feel. Imitation pearls tend to be uniform in size and shape and will usually have a smooth texture. A certified appraiser or experienced dealer can further help you identify your jewelry. Find a large collection of pearl earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few tell-tale signs you can look for to determine whether your Bvlgari jewelry is real or fake. Authentic Bvlgari uses a capital Latin alphabet, which means that the U is replaced with a V and it is marked as BVLGARI. You can also see the Bvlgari hallmark, the brand’s name, the type of metal and a “Made in Italy” stamp on its jewelry. Shop a collection of authentic BVLGARI jewelry from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
