Question 1

What is the difference between a tennis necklace and a chain necklace?

Accepted Answer

A tennis necklace features a continuous row of diamonds or gemstones and is often worn as a statement piece. A chain necklace is made of interlinked metal and comes in varying lengths and thicknesses, ideal for layering or adding pendants.

Question 2

How do I layer necklaces without tangling?

Accepted Answer

Choose varying lengths (e.g., 16", 18", 20"+) and mix textures or weights. Use necklace separators or layer-specific clasps to keep chains from tangling. Many brands offer pre-layered sets designed for ease of wear.

Question 3

What is Marco Bicego known for in necklace design?

Accepted Answer

Marco Bicego’s necklaces are known for hand-twisted 18k gold, engraved finishes, and colorful cabochon-cut gemstones. Each piece reflects traditional Italian techniques with a modern sensibility.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every pre-owned necklace we offer, including Van Cleef & Arpels, is thoroughly authenticated by our in-house team. Pieces are vetted for craftsmanship, materials, and brand hallmarks.

Question 5

What is the best material for a necklace I’ll wear every day?

Accepted Answer

18k gold, platinum, and high-quality diamonds or sapphires are durable enough for daily wear. Lightweight chain styles or everyday diamond pendants are often preferred for consistent use.

Question 6

Can I wear a statement necklace with casual outfits?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Pairing a statement necklace with a minimal or monochromatic outfit can create balance and elevate your look. Brands like Roberto Coin and our in-house label offer versatile styles that work across settings.

Question 7

How do I choose the right necklace length?

Accepted Answer

Consider neckline and personal proportions. 16–18 inches is standard for most pendants, while 20–24 inches works well for layering or wearing over clothing. Longer chains (28”+) can create an elongating effect.
