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

On 1stDibs, browse top designers like Dior, Chanel and Bulgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more. 

Questions About Modernist Silver Necklace
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
    Many jewelry lovers believe that a silver necklace is worth it. Not only is silver's cool color visually appealing, but alloys that contain it, such as sterling silver, are resistant to scratching. Plus, sterling silver is often more economically priced than other precious metals. However, sterling silver can tarnish when exposed to salty air, chlorine and chemicals in household cleaning products, cosmetics and other products. Following the care and storage instructions the maker provides will be important for keeping your necklace looking like new. You can also explore alternatives to sterling silver, such as platinum, white gold and titanium. Find a diverse assortment of silver necklaces and other necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    The best silver for a necklace is sterling silver; it is the best quality silver available in jewelry. 99.9% is the purest form of silver that you can get but it's too soft for jewelry production. Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. Globally, sterling silver is used as the standard for making silver necklaces. On 1stDibs, you can find an amazing selection of antique and vintage silver necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    Yes, many jewelry lovers believe that silver necklaces are worth it. Not only is silver a visually appealing material, but its qualities can make for durable, long-lasting pieces. Many well-known luxury brands, such as Tiffany Co. and Cartier, use silver to craft necklaces and other types of jewelry. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in silver necklaces is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find silver necklaces and other jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    What the highest-quality silver necklace is depends on your definition of "high quality." If you mean the type that is the most pure, fine .999 silver is the answer. It is 99.9% pure silver, with the tiny remainder of its contents coming from trace elements. On the other hand, if you define quality by durability and longevity, .925 sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy metal, may be a better option. Fine .999 silver is soft and more reactive, making it more vulnerable to tarnishing and scratching than .925 sterling. Explore a diverse assortment of silver necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    What a silver heart necklace means is up to interpretation. Some people associate silver heart necklaces with affection and love. Others consider the heart a religious symbol and believe it represents divine love. Others may choose to wear silver heart necklaces simply because they like their appearance. Explore a range of heart necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, 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 ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    Yes, a sterling silver necklace may be worth something. Sterling silver can typically be sold for scrap based on the going rates for silver. How much you may receive for a necklace on the scrap market will usually be determined by weight. However, your necklace may have additional value based on its maker, age, style, condition and other factors, so you may wish to have a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler evaluate it. Shop a wide range of sterling silver necklaces on 1stDibs.
