Necklaces

A necklace is an article of jewellery which is worn around the neck. Necklaces are frequently formed from a metal jewellery chain, often attached to a locket or pendant. Necklaces can also be manufactured with cloth, and they sometimes contain rocks (particularly gems), wood, and/or shells with different shapes and sizes.

Types of necklaces

*Bib Necklace: A bib necklace is made multiple strands of stepped pearls.

*Choker: 35 centimetres (14 in) to 60 centimetres (24 in) long and sits high on the neck.

*Opera Necklace: An opera necklace is 75 centimetres (30 in) to 90 centimetres (35 in) long and sits at the breastbone.

*Princess Necklace: A princess necklace is 45 centimetres (18 in) to 50 centimetres (20 in) long. It is between choker and matinee length.

*Sautoir or Rope Necklace: A sautoir or rope necklace is any necklace longer than opera length.

*Uniform Necklace: A uniform necklace consists of pearls that appear to be all the same size, although normally there is a slight difference towards the ends so they appear to be in proportion.
