Pearl necklaces are quite popular with teens and young adults. The luster and iridescence of pearls make a pearl necklace the perfect accessory to go perfectly with a formal evening dress or your casual jeans for a night on the town with your girlfriends. Pearl necklaces are generally described using specific terms that pertain to the length of the necklace. This article provides a brief description of the various terms used to describe pearl necklaces in terms of their length.
COLLAR: Typical pearl collars are 10 to 13 inches in length. A collar sits directly on the throat with no hang down. Typical pearl collars range in length from 10 to 13 inches. Pearl collars tend to be the choice for more formal occasions.
CHOKER: A choker is between 14 and 16 inches in length, and sits at the base of the neck.
PRINCESS LENGTH: A pearl necklace is said to be of "princess length" if it extends to the collar bone, and is usually between 17 and 19 inches long.
MATINEE LENGTH: Falls to just above the breasts and typically 20 to 24 inches in length.
OPERA LENGTH: An opera length pearl necklace generally measures 28 to 35 inches and extends to the sternum of the wearer.
PEARL ROPE: Typically a pearl rope necklace is greater than 45 inches in length, and falls farther than an opera. Usually, a pearl rope is single strand of pearls and sometimes may be wrapped around to give the appearance of a two or three strand necklace.
Sometimes, pearl necklaces are described as the relative size of the pearls within the strand. A necklace with pearls of similar size (all pearls within 0.5mm of each other) is called a uniform necklace. On the other hand, graduated pearl necklaces have pearls with gradually increasing diameters, with the largest pearls at the bottom of the pearl necklace, and the smallest pearls resting on the back of the neck.
