Pearl Necklace Lengths Pearl Necklace Lengths
Different than most necklaces, pearl necklaces are defined by where they hang when worn around the neck.
The Pearl Collar - 14 to 17"
Three or more strands that fit snugly on the middle of the neck.
The Pearl Choker - 16 to 18"
Versatile pearl choker is appropriate for accessorizing casual to formal eveningwear, and compliments almost any neckline.
The Princess Necklace - 17 to 19"
Most common pearl necklace length, the princess necklace is well suited for crew and high necklines. It also complements low, plunging necklines.
The Matinee Necklace -20 to 25"
A pearl matinee necklace is an ideal choice for casual or business attire. Looks best with high necklines and adds sophistication and a professional look.
The Opera Necklace - 26 to 36"
Worn as a single strand with high necklines or doubled to create a fashionable two-strand choker. Knot at the neckline or above the bust to create a stylish vintage look and accessorize with casual attire for a cutting-edge fashion statement.
The Pearl Rope- 37" or longer
A favorite of Coco Chanel, this luxurious length can be made with several clasps, enabling it to be broken down into different necklace and bracelet combinations or doubled and even tripled to create a stunning multi-strand choker. Pearl ropes can also be knotted and slung over the shoulder to accentuate the beauty of a backless dress.
Pearls have been popular throughout history, highly regarded, classic and steep in tradition. The must-have, "classic" piece of pearl jewelry - the single-strand pearl necklace - has transformed into extra long lenths and tasseled multi-strand pearl accessories. Cultured freshwater pearl necklace designs are incorporating semi-presious bead accents and pearls are dripping from gold and silver chains. Jewelry artists are also designing with colored pearls - creating beautiful tone-on-tone jewelry pieces. Back to Articles |
