The Right Pearl Necklace

Choosing the right necklace for a woman was determined (customarily) by factors such as age and body type. Nowadays, though, the adaptability of the pearl has allowed it to be worn in all sorts of occassions on all sorts of individuals. The departure from the traditional has given way to very creative applications for this Queen of Gems. We list below the most popular lengths for pearl strands along with guidelines for their suggested use.

Pearl Collar - 12-13 inches in length. Normally consisting of three or more strands worn snuggly around the neck.

Pearl Choker - 14-16 inches in length. A very stylish length that can be worn on any neckline for any ocassion. Whether "working" or having a "night on the town", this length will lengthen the neck and compliment any outfit.

Princess Pearl Necklace - 17-19 inches in length. The classic length of 18 inches fits right in this category. Not surprisingly, this is also the most common length for pearl necklaces and is the right choice if you are unsure what length you want.
