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 Vintage I Love You Necklace
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Many necklaces can symbolize love. One of the most popular options is the heart-shaped pendant necklace, as the heart has for centuries been associated with romance. Emeralds, diamonds and sapphires may also represent love, as can necklaces that feature two interlocking rings. Find a variety of necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    There are a few necklace pendants that can mean love. Many people associate heart pendants with love since the heart is a classic symbol of romance and affection. With its intertwining forms, the Celtic knot also represents love, as does the triskelion, an ancient symbol consisting of three spirals that form a triangle. Remember that people interpret symbols in different ways, so some pendants may signify love to some people but not to others. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of pendant necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    While what the Cartier Love necklace means is truly up to the wearer, the accessory’s specific construction had deep meaning for its designer. When Italian-born American jewelry designer Aldo Cipullo (1935–84) created the Love bracelet, which was the first piece in the Love collection, he was inspired by chastity belts and the promise of romantic love. Although it’s since been updated to lock and unlock on its own, the original Love bracelet came with a gold-vermeil screwdriver. One lover wore Cipullo’s striking cuff, while the other carried the tool to open and close it. The piece would thus be an immutable symbol of a couple’s love — immutable, that is, until the guardian of the screwdriver agreed to remove it. The mock flathead screws motif that characterizes the original bracelet can also be seen on the Love necklace’s pendant. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Cartier Love necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    What a love heart necklace means is open to interpretation. Most people associate it with love and affection. Depending on who purchased it and the wearer's beliefs, the necklace may represent a romantic relationship or familial love, such as that of a child for their mother. Shop a wide range of heart necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To tell if a necklace is vintage, one approach is to conduct research using trusted online resources. Start by looking for hallmarks and then use the maker's mark to identify the brand that produced it. From there, you can look at online catalogues and reference guides to determine approximately when your jewelry was made. A necklace is vintage if it is between 20 and 99 years old. Another option is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler help you with the dating process. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of vintage necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    What makes a necklace vintage is its age. Any necklace made at least 20 to 80 years ago is vintage. Necklaces produced a century ago or more are antiques. A vintage-inspired or vintage-style necklace is one manufactured during the past 20 years but inspired by older jewelry. Find a wide variety of vintage necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Clasp design on vintage necklaces vary significantly, so there’s no uniform way to open and close a clasp. Research the specific type of necklace to find resources on the style of clasp. On 1stDibs, you'll find a collection of vintage necklaces from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To determine whether a pearl necklace is modern or vintage, first look for signs of wear, such as blunted edges on the prongs. The pearls will likely have dull spots where they came into contact with skin. The clasp can clue you in, too. Lobster clasps appeared in the 1970s, while early 20th century clasps were generally safety-pin style or C-clasps. Modern necklaces typically have a spring-loaded clasp. Shop a selection of vintage pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell if a rhinestone necklace is vintage, look on the clasp or the back of the pendant for a maker's mark. By snapping a photo of the mark and performing a reverse image search or entering a description of the marking into an online search engine, you can often identify the maker of a piece. Then, conduct further research to learn when the company or artisan was active and producing necklaces similar to yours. It is vintage if you estimate that your necklace is between 20 and 99 years old. Older pieces are antiques, while newer ones are contemporary. For additional assistance with dating your rhinestone necklace, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of vintage necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Vintage Chanel jewelry always has a date stamp and logo located somewhere on the piece that you can use for authentication. Everything on the date stamp should be easy to read, and the Chanel logo should look immaculate. Fake logos are often hard to read and have mistakes in the font. All the details should be exquisite, and the necklace should feel substantial. If it feels light and cheap, it’s probably a fake. Shop a collection of authentic vintage Chanel necklaces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
    To tell if a vintage Tiffany necklace is real, look closely at the links and clasp. Due to their expert craftsmanship, Tiffany Co. links appear continuous and have no visible seams or solder marks. The clasp should also be sturdy and free of solder or glue marks. Hallmarks can also help you authenticate your piece. Most Tiffany Co. jewelry will say the maker's full time or “T&Co.” Items marked simply with “Tiffany” are usually not authentic. Comparing the markings on your jewelry to hallmark images found on trusted online resources can help you identify counterfeits. A certified appraiser or experienced dealer can also be of assistance. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of vintage Tiffany Co. necklaces.
