Necklaces

Whether discreet or massive, understated or original, the necklace is one of the master pieces of jewelry. It can be made of yellow, white, or rose gold, and also set with diamonds depending on the inspiration of the designers of jewelry. For millennia, it has adorned the necks of women and men to bring a touch of elegance to their attire. Valérie Danenberg has created a collection of timelessly designed necklaces, conceived to answer your every desire.

Since prehistoric times, necklaces have adorned women's necks for decorative purposes. While the materials used to make them and the symbols they represent have evolved over time, they remain a very trendy accessory. For centuries, necklaces were indeed synonymous with wealth, power, and protection. They were a means of identifying a woman's social status. Starting from the Renaissance, an artistic dimension was added to their purpose. They came to be regarded as true works of art, as well as fashion accessories.

The necklace is a piece of jewelry that has shaped history and still reflects the values and beliefs of many peoples today. Like any fashion accessory, its design evolves with trends, adopting for example the sleek lines of the Art Deco movement, to complete an outfit.

For millennia, the shapes and designs of necklaces have evolved to harmonize with current fashion trends. Jewelers innovate tirelessly to offer you unique, revolutionary pieces of great beauty.

Among others, there are necklaces:

• Choker: positioned tightly around the neck,
• Princesses: a necklace featuring a suspended pendant,
• Long necklaces: featuring a chain longer than 75 cm, this necklace is commonly wrapped around the neck several times,
• Bib necklaces: the most imposing style, they are usually adorned with gemstones or pearls,
• Torques: easily recognizable by their rigidity,
• Pearls: a necklace composed of pearls, which can be natural or synthetic.

Fine jewelry experts do not hesitate to let their imagination run wild to create sumptuous necklaces, whether intended for daily wear or a special occasion. 

They can decide to add a touch of brilliance and intensity by incorporating gemstones or fine stones into the pendant or directly onto the necklace chain. Pure and sparkling, the diamond brings a chic note to your piece of jewelry thanks to its brilliance and transparency. To create an impression of depth, jewelers can also insert rubies, emeralds, and sapphires within their creations.

As with any piece of fine jewelry, the choice of a necklace should be based on your personal favorites. However, a number of criteria can be taken into consideration to make your choice easier.

The first thing is to define the occasion for which this necklace will be worn: is it for daily use or do you plan to wear it for a specific event? If the purpose of purchasing your necklace is to enhance a particular outfit, it is easier to narrow down your search criteria based on the style and colors of your ensemble. Otherwise, you must carefully select the color of the metal and the type of gemstones you want to appear on your necklace. White gold, yellow gold, rose gold, rubies, emeralds, or even diamonds can adorn your jewelry.

Once the foundation has been set, you can focus on the style and design you want. Chokers, long necklaces, and pendant necklaces... options are not lacking. Depending on your preferences, choose an Art Deco, vintage, or conversely, very modern style accessory.
