Chains and necklaces: eye-catchers for numerous occasions

The French word collier means collar or neckband and stands for a chain with a middle section consisting of precious gemstones and pearls. Necklaces have been worn as jewellery for thousands of years and are still as popular as ever. At Die Halsbandaffaire, you can find unique pieces from different eras, from Classicism to Art Nouveau, from Art Déco up to the Seventies.

Necklaces are a crucial part of your outfit, especially when it comes to evening wear. Different models are available depending on the item of clothing: Statement necklaces in gold or silver can either be worn close to the neck, directly on the skin or even over the fabric of a top. This gives you the choice between elegant, playful or elegantly understated styles.

Our high-quality necklaces adorned with diamonds always set particularly impressive accents while our wide range of gemstone colors guarantees the perfect fit for your wardrobe and the type of occasion.

A look at different eras

At Die Halsbandaffaire, you will find necklaces in white gold, yellow gold, platinum and silver from different centuries.

The 19th century: Biedermeier, historism and the Belle Époque

The Biedermeier era in the first half of the 19th century produced impressive pieces of jewelry, including splendid necklaces. These rare individual pieces made of gold and silver, for example set with garnet or coral, captivate every observer.

Turn of the century and Art Nouveau

With Art Nouveau, necklaces and chains became increasingly elaborate and imaginative. White precious metals such as platinum as well as diamonds and other gemstones such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds became increasingly popular. The frequent reference to nature can be seen in the designs. The flowing, curved lines combined with elaborate ornamentation create the unmistakable design language of the era.

Art Déco

Art Déco jewellery from the 1920s and 1930s captivates with its black and white contrasts in combination with bold colors and focus on strict lines and geometric elements in its design. Expressive chains made of gold and silver were very popular at this time, but long necklaces, so-called sautoirs, were also part of the repertoire. The jewellery of this era captivates with its strict designs and its classic and timeless elegance.
