Ancient necklaces - sparkling treasures from past days

Wearing chains and colliers is a tradition that has existed for thousands of years. It is difficult to say when the first person wore a sparkling shell around the neck. But the oldest known pearl chain was discovered in South Africa and is about 75,000 years old. Over time, antique necklaces have gone through many eras, styles and designs and have reinvented themselves again and again.

For example, Elsa Peretti at Tiffany brought the sterling silver fashion in the 1970s. But it also used unusual materials such as bones, bottles and porcelain. Because it wanted to give disregarded materials worth again and combine them with the styles of past eras. Vintage jewelry can do exactly that: gemstones, silver or gold stand on an equal footing next to corals, pearls and wood. The used pieces shine in the area of tension between nostalgia, fashion and climate awareness.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Kette und Collier?

Der Unterschied liegt im Detail – und in der Wirkung. Eine Kette ist meist schlichter und ein Klassiker für den Alltag. Ein Collier hingegen schmiegt sich an den Hals wie ein Statement, ist präsent und wirkt selbstbewusst. Es ist kunstvoll gestaltet, manchmal mehrreihig, mit Steinen, Perlen oder aufwändigen Gliedern.

Wie bewahrt man lange Ketten auf?

Um Knoten und Knicke zu vermeiden, sollten lange Ketten hängend aufbewahrt werden – zum Beispiel an einem Schmuckständer, einem Haken oder in einem offenen Rahmen. Wer reist oder lieber verstaut, rollt die Kette sanft in ein weiches Tuch oder legt sie in ein Etui mit Einzelfächern. So bleibt jedes Glied geschützt.

Wie finde ich die richtige Kettenlänge?

Die perfekte Kettenlänge hängt von Ihrer Halsform, dem Ausschnitt Ihrer Kleidung und dem Anlass ab. Eine kurze Kette (38-42cm) liegt elegant am Hals an und betont das Schlüsselbein. Mittellange Ketten (45-60cm) setzen einen Akzent im Dekolleté. Lange Ketten (ab 70cm) bringen Bewegung ins Spiel und strecken optisch.

Was tun, wenn die Halskette zu kurz ist?

Ist eine geliebte Kette zu kurz, muss das kein Abschied sein. Viele Schmuckstücke lassen sich mit kleinen Verlängerungskettchen aus passendem Material unkompliziert anpassen. Bei besonders feinen oder antiken Ketten lohnt sich der Weg zum Juwelier: Mit fachkundiger Hand kann eine harmonische Verlängerung eingefügt werden, die dem ursprünglichen Stil treu bleibt.
