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

Questions About Red Sponge Coral
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Red coral jewelry is the term for decorative accessories like necklaces and bracelets that feature a red stone sourced from natural coral. Usually, the coral comes from the Mediterranean sea. On 1stDibs, you can shop a selection of red coral jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Red coral is the most valuable of all precious coral and is frequently harvested for jewelry. It is a species from the Mediterranean and Pacific Ocean and famous for its intensely red color.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Tibetan red coral comes from the Mediterranean sea. Although the name implies that it is red, many examples of the coral are a dark salmon or bright orange color. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Tibetan red coral jewelry and decorative objects.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are several different methods available to test if your red coral is authentic. Red coral beads should be smooth to the touch, not rough, even when examined up close. Another easy test is to drop them in a glass of milk and see if the milk changes to a red color. If the milk turns red, then your red coral is the real deal. Since imitation red coral is often made of glass, you can also give it a tap and see if it feels like glass. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of expertly-vetted red coral jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    To identify if the red coral is real, put your stone in a glass of milk. If the milk changes color, your stone is a real one. Additionally, you can view it through a magnifying glass. If you observe a texture, your red coral is genuine — a fake one will generally be smooth with no texture. Find red coral jewelry on 1stDibs.
