Where do Necklaces Come From?

Necklaces often have additional attachments suspended or inset into the necklace itself.

Necklaces were first depicted in the statuary and art of the Ancient Near East, and early necklaces made of precious metals with inset stones were created inEurope.

In the Gothic period necklaces were uncommon, though there are a few records of diamond, ruby, and pearl necklaces.

Some necklaces were opulent that they made to be dismantled and reconfigured into a shorter necklace, brooches, and a bracelet.

1870-1910: The Edwardian era saw a resurgence of pearl necklaces, in addition to a dog-collar style of necklace made of gold or platinum with inset diamonds, emeralds, or rubies.

How To Choose The Right Necklace Length

If your neck is an average length and width, then you can probably wear anylength of necklace successfully.

Most necklace lengths flatter taller frames as well, but long chains can look especially flattering since they accentuate height.

If you're short, try to avoid chunky necklace designs, which can overwhelm your frame as much as a long chain length.

The necklace length you choose can help you emphasize your best facial features.

Use your basic face shape as a guide for selecting the best necklace length for you.

This length is the most common necklace length available.

High necklines will balance out the length of the chain and allow you to best showcase the look of the necklace.
