Pearl Necklaces - which length of pearl necklace should you choose?

The Simply Pearls Guide to Pearl Necklace Lengths

This is a short guide to the typical lengths of Pearl Necklace that are available, and to help you choose the right one for the look that you want.

Pearl Collar - 12" to 14"

Usually 2 or 3 strands of pearls worn high around the neck

Pearl Choker - 14" to 16"

Sits at the base of the neck and can be worn with almost any style of neckline.

Princess - 16" to 20"

Slightly longer than a choker and the best length to choose if you are buying for someone else!

 Matinee Pearl Necklace  Opera Pearl Necklace  Rope Pearl Necklace

 Matinee - 20" to 26"

Fabulous worn with higher necklines, over sweaters or off the shoulder dresses.

 

 Opera - 28" to 36"

Probably the most versatile pearl necklace, very striking when worn loose and it can be doubled to create a 2 row pearl choker 

 Rope - 38" and over

A stunning pearl necklace, very sexy and sophisticated! Once made popular by CoCo Chanel, now a top fashion accessory for all 'Sex and the City' fans!

It doesn't snow often so when it does, you have to get your camera out don't you!
