Popular Necklaces

A necklace is one of the most sophisticated and elegant pieces of jewelry a woman has in her collection. A timeless favorite of the red carpet, a necklace not only holds the ability to complete a look but adds to it as well.

It is the most captivating and exciting part of any attire, usually so seductive that you choose the outfit based on the necklace. However, with such a wide variety of classic, beautiful necklace designs available, choosing the right necklace becomes a difficult decision. To make this decision a bit easier, following are some of the most popular necklace designs which are sure to inspire you!   

Are there different lengths of necklace designs?

Before we get to popular necklace designs, it is essential to know the different lengths of necklaces. Although over 30 million people buy fine jewelry in the US, most of them do not know about different lengths of necklaces available.

Understanding the different lengths can make purchasing the right necklace a whole lot easier. When you know the right length, you can choose and match it with the correct design, making the decision a lot easier.

Necklaces come in a wide array of different sizes and lengths so it’s vital that you consider all other jewelry you’ll be wearing to decide which size will be best for layering. The typical necklace design lengths include:

  • Rope: 36 inches and above
  • Opera: 30 to 36 inches
  • Matinee: 20 to 22 inches
  • Princess: 16 to 18 inches
  • Choker: 14 to 16 inches
  • Collar: 12 to 14 inches

What about adjustable-length chains?

High-quality chains are an essential part of every jewelry collection. The most popular options include gold and sterling silver, but lately, gold vermeil is becoming increasingly popular in both consumers and exclusive jewelry designers. However, the problem with fixed-length chains is that it’s almost impossible to get the perfect length without purchasing a few chains in different lengths and sizes first.

The adjustable-length chains put an end to this frustration, giving endless possibilities and allowing you to find the perfect length for every occasion and outfit!
