Necklaces are generally fashioned for women and girls although, not exclusively. A general characterization of silver necklaces includes a variety of styles, shapes, with and without gemstones, intricate ornamental designs as well as understated and unpretentious forms. These pieces of neckwear jewellery are generally reserved for special occasion wear and are most often worn without any additional fancy or elaborate extra neck chains so as to keep the focus on the elegance and individuality of the creation.

There are however, several examples of sterling silver collars which are specifically intended to accommodate and highlight a piece of outstanding, stellar jewellery. Worn generally close to the neck, for greatest impact, necklaces are typically available in 16"-30" lengths. The earliest occurrence of the necklace as jewellery was about 40,000 years ago in Africa and since that early era, necklaces have been revered over the centuries by the rich and upper classes of society. Precious metal collars began their rise in popularity with the Hebrews and Egyptians some 40 centuries ago in Africa.
