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.

Questions About Russian Silver Necklace
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Russian silver is real silver, but it gets a little confusing because they do not have the same sterling silver standards that Europe, Australia, Canada, the United States and other countries associated with the British Commonwealth have. Russian silver is roughly 94.79% pure silver and the rest is copper or other alloys. The British Commonwealth silver standard uses 92.5% pure silver and the rest is copper or other alloys. Shop a collection of authentic Russian silver from some of the worlds top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024
    Yes, some Russian silver is valuable. Pieces produced during the 19th century that reflect the characteristics of the Slavic revival era are particularly sought after due to their rarity and visual appeal. Generally, the age, type, maker and condition of a piece all play a role in determining its value. A certified appraiser or licensed dealer can provide you with an estimated valuation for an individual piece. Shop a collection of Russian silver wares 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 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 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.
