This will guarantee that you will wear this beautiful piece of jewellery for years to come.
Princess – 18 Inches
This style of necklace is slightly longer in length to the choker measuring just 18 inches. But is a much more versatile piece of jewellery.

To ensure that you can wear your Japanese Akoya necklace with any outfit in your wardrobe it is best to stay within the 18 inches range.

Rope – 51 Inches
This is the longest necklace you can buy made up with pearls. These measure a total of 51 inches and look stunning when teamed with an outfit that you are going to be wearing to a special event. Like the princess necklace this type is very versatile and can be worn in a variety of different ways. You can wear simply as one strand or knotted or wrapped around the neck once or twice.
Double Or Triple Strand
To feel really unique, many women love to wear a double or triple strand of pearls that they then pair with their little black dress and classic makeup. This kind of style is reminiscent of what elegant Hollywood stars such as Audrey Hepburn loved to wear. The multi strand pearl necklace really is a true fashion statement.
As you can see you really are spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding what style of pearl necklace designs to select from. Plus of course you’ll find when you take a look at the styles we have on offer here at Pearlsonly that you have a wide range of different colour pearls to choose from.
It is important that you take your time over selecting the right style of pearl necklace that best suits your needs and your tastes. If you are intending to buy a necklace as a gift for someone younger may we suggest you opt for one of the more modern designs we have on offer.
As for say a bride you may find that selecting one of our beautiful choker, princess or matinee designs is a much better option. However if the bride intends to wear a dress that is cut low at the back maybe a rope pearl necklace is a better option. She could then wear the pearls actually back to front so that they lay down over her back and make a real statement as she walks down the aisle.
