An elegant necklace is distinguished not by its size, but by its harmony: the length suits the neckline, the material has a high-quality shine, and the design is clean. These are the points to help you find your necklace.
The right length
| Length | Effect | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| 35–40 cm (choker) | Modern, accentuates the neck | Off-the-shoulder tops, V-necklines |
| 40–45 cm (princess) | Classic and versatile | Almost anything: crew neck, blouse, dress |
| 50–60 cm (matinee) | Elegant and understated | High-neck tops, business wear |
| from 70 cm (opera) | Dramatic, casual | Sweaters, dresses, layering |
Most women wear 40–45 cm most often. Many of our necklaces are adjustable within this range.
Material makes the difference
A bright, even shine instantly looks high-quality. Rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver stays radiant for a long time, while gold vermeil looks warm and luxurious. You can read how to recognize good quality under Recognizing Good Silver Jewelry.

- The single pearl: Classic and modern at the same time, such as the 9 mm pearl necklace with crystal halo or the crescent pearl necklace.
