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 Real Ruby Necklace
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The most important factor in determining the authenticity of an old Burma ruby is to look at the color. In most lights, the color will be a true red to a pinkish red color. Shop a collection of Burma rubies from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- How much is a real ruby worth?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Extremely high quality rubies can cost as much as $1 million per carat because the gem is one of the most valuable and sought-after. Lesser quality rubies can cost around $1,500 per carat.
- 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.
- Are Napier necklaces real gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, most Napier necklaces are gold-plated brass. Gold-plated brass is often favored for being more budget-friendly and durable, but it is not hypoallergenic and should be avoided by those who have sensitive skin. Browse a selection of Napier jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To evaluate the authenticity of a Tiffany & Co. necklace, first check the overall quality of the piece. Tiffany & Co. is known for its immaculate craftsmanship and ultra-high-quality materials. If it’s 18k gold, it will be stamped with the number “750,” if it’s sterling silver, it’ll have a “925” stamp and if it’s platinum, it’ll have a “950” stamp. If the necklace has gemstones, they should be of high clarity and brilliance and perfectly and evenly set and matched. Shop a collection of authentic Tiffany & Co. pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023To tell if a Cartier necklace is real, first look for the serial number and Cartier logo. On a genuine piece, the stamp will be clear, straight and in the correct Cartier script font. Also, check the clasps. Real Cartier jewelry will have high-quality clasps that are easy to work and free of signs of soldering. Find a selection of Cartier necklaces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell real ruby red glass, look at the cuts used throughout the design. Most ruby red glass has sharp, dramatic cuts. Because it is easy to confuse with pressed glass, consider having the object evaluated by an experienced and licensed appraiser. Shop a selection of expertly vetted ruby red glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, some Vivienne Westwood necklaces are real silver. Specifically, the British fashion and jewelry designer's brand produces some necklaces out of sterling silver. In addition, some pieces are fashioned out of brass. Shop a variety of Vivienne Westwood jewelry from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To tell if a Fabergé egg necklace is real, first look for one of the brand's hallmarks. The jewelry house's markings varied widely over the years but often featured the name in Cyrillic or a head shown in profile beside a number. A licensed appraiser can help you accurately assess the authenticity of your necklace. On 1stDibs, find a collection of expertly vetted Fabergé jewelry.
- 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 ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Yes, some Louis Vuitton necklaces are real gold. The French luxury fashion house produces its necklaces out of 18-karat yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. In addition, Louis Vuitton uses other precious metals like titanium and platinum in some pieces. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Louis Vuitton necklaces.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if a squash blossom necklace is real, check for a small amount of turquoise, the authentic squash blossoms don’t have much turquoise. Look for simple styles, wear and aging signs. Shop a large collection of squash blossom necklaces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Vintage 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The best way to tell if a diamond tennis necklace is real is to hire a licensed appraiser to evaluate it. While you can perform tests like seeing if fog dissipates quickly after breathing on it, it's generally not possible to verify for certain that diamonds are real on your own. You'll find a range of expertly vetted diamond tennis necklaces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023Yes, some Vivienne Westwood necklaces are real diamonds. However, the luxury jewelry brand also uses other materials, like glass and acrylic rhinestones, in some pieces.
