Vintage necklaces
Within the world of vintage jewellery, necklaces occupy a special place. This elegant Jewellery carries with it a tremendous history and can transform any outfit. At Vintage Jewellery, we appreciate the history and beauty of vintage jewellery, including vintage necklaces. We would then like to take you on a journey through the enchanting world of this timeless jewellery.
The timeless beauty of Vintage necklaces
Necklaces from the art deco period have always been very popular and well-loved. This period ran from 1920 to the early 1940s. These necklaces were best known for their geometric shapes, had clean lines and often featured precious stones. Emerald, sapphire and diamond were commonly used. Necklaces from this era reflected the glamour of the jazz era and are additionally still popular in modern times.
During the romantic Victorian period, many beautiful and unique necklaces were made that are still worn today. Consequently, these necklaces were often detailed with filigree and garnet, which provided a subtle look. Collectors of vintage jewellery therefore love these necklaces as they reflect sentimental and elegant aesthetics.
During the 1960s, there was a new trend regarding necklaces, this was because there was a revolution in the fashion world that also affected the image about jewellery. Many people were looking for trendy necklaces with colourful stones, pendants with peace symbols and natural materials such as wood and leather. When people wore this jewellery it created a sense of freedom and expression, this was therefore characteristic through the 1960s.
Various styles
Vintage necklaces come in all sorts of different colors, sizes, styles and designs. Thus, everyone can find something that suits their personal taste and style. Some iconic styles of vintage necklaces will be named below;
- Art Deco Necklaces: These necklaces can be recognized by their geometric shapes and the use of various gemstones. As such, these pieces of jewellery provide a chic and elegant look.
- Victorian Necklaces: These necklaces are often romantic and detailed. You can recognize these by floral motifs, cameos and pearls. This style is perfect for people who love vintage romance and want to add this to their style.
- Art Nouveau Necklaces: These necklaces are inspired by nature and organic shapes and motifs. They are characterized by their elegance and often feature flowers, insects or women as designs.
- Edwardian Necklaces: These necklaces were designed in the period following the Victorian period. Edwardian necklaces were sophisticated and brought with them elegant aesthetics. They were often decorated with filigree work and refined gemstones.
The beauty of craftsmanship
Craftsmanship is very important when it comes to vintage necklaces. In an era when handwork and craftsmanship were highly valued, jewellery was handmade by talented silversmiths. Necklaces from this period were therefore unique and each piece had its own character.
At Vintage Jewellery, we value the art of craftsmanship. Vintage necklaces, watches, earrings and medallions and more are therefore carefully chosen and selected for high quality. In our vintage collection, you can find necklaces that feature filigree work, enamel work, granulation and hand-set gemstones. Every necklace in our vintage collection tells a story. They are pieces made with love and craftsmanship that have remained beautiful through time.
Durable and unique
Wearing vintage jewellery is also a sustainable choice. When you choose to invest in vintage jewellery you reduce the demand for new products which is beneficial to the environment.
In addition, with vintage jewellery you are guaranteed a unique piece. Nowadays few unique pieces are produced so a vintage necklace is now very rare. This means that you own a piece of jewellery that no one else has and you can create a personal style that can set you apart from the style of the masses.

Link Chains
A link chain consists of a series of connected links that together form a flexible and durable piece of Jewellery. The links can vary in shape, size and material, but gold and silver are the most common choices. This type of chain can be simple and subtle, or complex and detailed, depending on its design and the period in which it was made.
Necklace and perfume in one
Do not be limited by the idea that a necklace consists of a series of links with a pendant attached, because then you have not yet seen our collection of antique jewellery. In earlier centuries, ladies liked to wear a perfume bottle around their neck. Since not every household was equipped with a shower and people still wanted to smell pleasant, perfume was widely used to mask other odours. So what could be more convenient than hanging a perfume bottle on your necklace? Plus, it looks particularly elegant and sophisticated, right down to the clasp!

Frequently asked questions
The right chain length completes your vintage piece of jewelry! Which length suits you best depends on your personal style, neckline, and how you like to wear the chain.
A shorter chain of 40 to 45 cm sits nicely around the collarbone and gives an elegant, refined look. A chain of 50 to 60 cm falls a bit lower on the chest and is beautiful to combine with a vintage pendant. Longer chains are ideal for a stylish, layered look.
Because every vintage chain is unique, we recommend that you check the dimensions carefully beforehand. For example, you can measure a chain you already own to discover which length you find most comfortable.
Are you unsure about the right length? Please feel free to contact us. We are happy to help you find your perfect vintage chain!
A choker and a link chain are both beautiful pieces of jewellery, but they differ in style and appearance.
A choker is a short necklace that fits snugly around the neck. This provides an elegant, refined look and makes the necklace a true eyecatcher. Vintage chokers are wonderful to wear on their own or combined with longer necklaces for a stylish, layered look.
A link chain consists of individual, interconnected links and is available in various lengths and designs. From fine, subtle links to striking gold pieces: every vintage link chain has its own unique character.
Which one suits you? Do you like a short, striking necklace that fits beautifully around your neck? Then a choker is a wonderful choice. Do you prefer a versatile necklace that you can combine in different ways? Then a link chain might be your favorite.
Incidentally, a choker can also be a link chain. The difference lies mainly in the length and the way you wear the necklace!
Vintage necklaces are not only timeless pieces of jewellery with a unique story, but can also retain their value or increase in value. This depends on various factors, such as the gold content, weight, rarity, design, and demand for specific styles.
Vintage gold necklaces in particular can be interesting due to the intrinsic value of the gold. However, an increase in value is never guaranteed, as both the gold price and the demand for vintage jewellery can change.
At Vintage Jewellery, we believe that the true value of a vintage necklace goes beyond just the price. It is a special piece of jewelry full of character and history that you can wear with love and perhaps even pass on to the next generation.
At Vintage Jewellery, we consider authenticity incredibly important. Every vintage necklace is therefore carefully checked for authenticity, quality, and gold content. This allows you to enjoy your unique piece of jewelry with peace of mind.
For gold vintage necklaces, we pay attention to hallmarks, gold content, and craftsmanship, among other things. Because vintage jewellery often has a long history, hallmarks may have faded somewhat over the years. This does not automatically mean that a piece is not authentic.
Are you in doubt about a specific necklace or would you like to know more about its authenticity? Please feel free to contact us. We would be happy to tell you more about your special vintage find!
