Necklaces

At 11-13 inches, the collar necklace sits directly on the neck of the wearer and highlights long, thin necklines. For those with larger necks, the collar necklace may be an uncomfortable choice.

At 16-18 inches, the choker necklace sits at the base of the neck and draws attention to the collar bones and general super-sternal region of the neck.

The princess necklace is the most common measuring approximately 20 inches in length. Hanging just over the collar bones, the princess necklace is extremely versatile.

The matinee necklace measures between 20-24 inches in length, hanging at the very center of the sternum, or chest area, and offers the wearer a semi-formal look.

At 30-35 inches, the opera  necklace sits directly on the breastbone. The opera necklace is perfect for customers with larger necks.

The shortest rope necklace is at least 36 inches long. These necklaces are almost always doubled over or tripped over being uncomfortable and impractical to wear as they are. They offer a 20’s -30’s vintage style.

Warm metals such as yellow gold, copper, brass or bronze can soften sharper, darker outfits and bring a stunning contrast to women with cooler complexions.

Cool metals such as white gold, platinum, palladium and silver can add a contemporary coolness to an everyday outfit.

Diamonds offer a bright and sophisticated touch of formality and luxury to any necklace or pendant. The diamonds by the yard and diamond eternity necklaces are probably the most popular diamond necklace styles, being simple, sparkly and stylish.

Pearl Necklaces offer a more traditional, vintage feel with an air of femininity and delicate grace. The classic pearl strand is by far the most common pearl necklace style, being popular bridal accessories.

Colored gemstone necklaces frequently incorporate special birthstones, anniversary stones or zodiac stones to create a meaningful peace of eye-catching jewelry.
