Opera Length

An opera length necklace measures 30-36 inches long and falls below the bustline, typically at the breast bone or lower, creating an elegant, dramatic look.

This length is versatile and sophisticated, often worn as a single long strand or doubled for a shorter, layered look. The opera length was popularized in the early 20th century and remains a classic style for formal occasions and evening wear. It works particularly well with high necklines and formal attire.

Opera length necklaces showcase larger pearls or gemstones beautifully and can be tied in a knot for a more casual, vintage-inspired look. This length is particularly flattering on taller individuals and creates elegant proportions.
