Finding the Right pendant-necklaces for You
Whether you’re layering multiple jewelry pieces or opting for a single strand, vintage pendant necklaces are versatile accessories that can elevate your casual wear as easily as they can add a creative flourish to your formal attire.
The earliest jewelry was less about accessorizing than it was about wearers arming themselves with amulets. In Ancient Egypt, some amulets featured a loop so that they could be strung around one’s neck. While rubies have long been one of the few gemstones that can give diamonds a run for their money, members of some ancient civilizations valued the stones from the get-go, donning ruby pendants as well as other stones with the belief that these adornments would bring protection, healing powers or strength. Today, we still wear our charm bracelets and charm pendants around our necks for good luck.
Later, pendant necklaces, like most fine jewelry, were worn strictly by royalty or the upper class and conferred wealth and prestige. This changed over time, thankfully, as wearing jewelry became more widespread, a democratized means of personal expression.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, pendant necklaces evolved from their status as spiritual amulets, but the jewels still carried deep personal significance. Victorian pendants, in particular, were part of the “mourning jewelry” tradition. Wearers would embed their pendants with locks of hair from a deceased loved one as a way of grieving in the wake of a loss. In the case of cameo jewelry, some pendants were even decorated with miniature hand-carved portraits in a detailed raised relief. Today, portraiture is still a characteristic of many of the hand-carved pendant necklaces offered by Italian jewelry house Scala Gioielli.
Luxury fine jewelry brands such as Cartier, BVLGARI and David Yurman offer their own unique interpretations of the cherished accessory, embellishing platinum or gold pendant necklaces with diamonds, sapphires and other stones.
On 1stDibs, find an extraordinary range of vintage pendant necklaces and other necklaces today.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a wide variety of different types of links used in necklace chains. One of the most common is a cable link, which consists of oval or round links connected to each other. Box links are simple, but they feature square or rectangular-shaped links that connect. Curb links are similar to cable links, but their curves and thicker links give them a heavy durability. Other artistic link styles include flat links and herringbone links. Shop a variety of link necklaces and chains from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024There is no single type of necklace that is best for a short neck. Many experts suggest long necklaces, as they visually lengthen the neck by drawing the eye downward. You can choose 20- to 25-inch matinee-length, 26- to 36-inch opera-length or rope necklaces that are 37 or more inches long. Keep the neckline of whatever you're planning to wear in mind as you select necklaces. Generally, a necklace should hit above or below the neckline rather than right on it. Shop a large selection of necklaces on 1stDibs.
