Necklaces

48

Necklaces and pendants are among the most personal pieces in Louis Vuitton's fashion jewellery collection for women, ranging from fine chains bearing a single LV charm to bolder Monogram-flower designs made for layering. Precious metal finishes in gold-tone, silver-tone and palladium sit alongside pieces set with coloured stones or faux pearls.

Chain Lengths Explained

  • Collar and choker lengths, sitting close to the base of the neck
  • Princess length, resting just below the collarbone for everyday wear
  • Matinee and opera lengths, falling lower for layering or eveningwear
  • Sautoirs, long enough to be doubled or knotted for a different silhouette

Layering a Necklace Stack

Shorter chokers pair naturally with open necklines, while longer sautoirs can be layered with a second, finer chain or with a piece from the brooches and hair accessories edit for evening. Mixing a pendant with a plain chain and a third, more textured piece tends to read as more considered than three similar necklaces worn together.

Choosing a Piece

For a coordinated set, consider matching earrings or a slim bracelet from the same line. A single pendant on a fine chain suits daily wear and layers easily, while a bib-style or statement necklace is often better worn alone, without competing jewellery at the neckline.

Care and Discovery

Necklaces should be stored flat or hung separately to avoid tangling, and kept away from perfume and lotion to preserve plating. New silhouettes join the new in fashion jewellery edit regularly, or browse all women's fashion jewellery to see the necklaces collection in context with rings, bracelets and earrings.
