How to choose your women's necklace?
The right necklace starts with your neckline and the length. A V-neck calls for a V or Y pendant necklace; a round neckline pairs perfectly with a 45 cm chain, the princess length and the most versatile. Then choose the metal: 18-carat yellow gold necklace, white gold necklace or rose gold necklace to suit your complexion. Finally, define the use: a fine chain for everyday, a choker for structured outfits, a long sautoir for layering. The link style (curb, Venetian, rope) shifts the look from discreet to bold. Consider the clasp and the weight too, both key to all-day comfort.
Which necklace for which profile?
- Versatile first piece → 45 cm yellow gold chain
- Long neck, high collar → 40-42 cm choker
- V-neckline → Y pendant necklace
- Trend lover → sautoir for layering
- Occasion sparkle → diamond rivière
- Rosy complexion → white or rose gold
The Auberi insight: in our Nice and Monaco boutiques, more than one client in two leaves with a length adjusted on the spot. The 45 cm remains the most requested, followed by the choker.
Frequently asked questions
What is the most common necklace length?
The 45 cm, known as princess length, suits most body types and works worn alone or with a pendant. At Auberi, we adjust the length free of charge in store for a perfect drape.
Can you layer several necklaces?
Yes, layering is very much in vogue. Combine two or three different lengths (40, 45 and 50 cm) in the same gold tone for a harmonious effect. Our advisers craft the ideal pairing during an in-store fitting.
How do I find my correct length?
Measure your neck with a tape, then add 5 to 10 cm depending on the drape you want. In our Nice and Monaco boutiques, we let you try several lengths and adjust to measure.
Do your necklaces come with a certificate?
Every gold or diamond necklace comes with a certificate of authenticity. Delivery is insured, and our certified jewellery after-sales service handles future care and adjustments.
