Different Shapes and Sizes
There are different types of necklaces that people wear, for a myriad of reasons: the Bib Necklace, with multiple strands of stepped pearls; the Choker, which sits snuggly along the base of the neck; the Dog Collar, consisting of multiple strands that also sit close to the neck; the Graduated Necklace, which is a single strand of pearls with a larger pearl located in the middle; the Matinee Necklace, which hangs long into the chest area; the Opera Necklace, which sits just above the breastbone; the Princess Necklace which can vary in length between those of the Choker and Matinee; the Sautoir, also referred to as Rope Necklace; and the Uniform Necklace, consisting of pearls that appear to be the same size.
