About Fine Jewelry Necklaces and Pendants

Necklaces are made in a variety of different lengths and materials. Open-ended necklaces, which often have beads or tassels, do not have a clasp; instead, the ends tie together around the neck. Chokers fit tightly around the neck and range from 14 inches to 16 inches long. Princess necklaces, usually made of a string of pearls, are 18 inches long. Also usually made of a string of pearls are matinee necklaces, which are 22 inches to 23 inches long, and opera necklaces, which are 30 inches to 35 inches long. Necklaces over 40 inches long are referred to as a rope. Pendants are hanging ornaments that can be attached to necklaces, especially chains.
