無論中國還是西方，珍珠項鍊都是女士們最愛的首飾。

所以本系列第一篇文章為您介紹珍珠項鍊在不同社交場合中的選擇與佩戴。

我們有幸邀請到珠寶專家Yves Lemay，為我們介紹相關知識。

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today we inaugurate a new series dedicated to jewellery etiquette and how to gracefully wear these masterpieces. In China and in western countries, women love wearing pearls necklaces. This is why our first article concerns how to adjust its length to social and professional circumstances. For this, we invite Yves Lemay, Jewellery master, to present some advice.

珠寶專家

來自魁北克的珠寶專家，目前居住在上海。

珍珠，作為人類最早開始使用的寶石之一，其歷史可以追溯到4000年以前。

在古代的印度（據說最早的珍珠是在印度發現的），中國，埃及，希臘和羅馬，珍珠都被視為最高貴的寶石，是最為珍稀和昂貴的物品。

古代中國的帝王之家，尤其喜歡用珍珠作為裝飾品。

With a history tracing back to over 4000 years ago, pearls were among the first gemstones used by humans. Ancient Indians (where it is said the first pearls were discovered), Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans regarded these gems with the highest esteem, and they were, in these times, among the most precious and expensive items on earth. In ancient China, pearls were the favourite decorative items of the emperors.

可可·香奈兒曾說：「珍珠永不過時」。

珍珠是由生物孕育而成的，所以珍珠最能體現和襯托女性的美。

Coco Chanel said; "the pearl is always right." Indeed, it symbolizes women the most, as it was born and grew inside another living being.

珍珠首飾非常適合女性：減齡且能襯托優雅高貴的氣質。

最重要的是，珍珠項鍊適用於任何場合，也可以搭配任意風格的服裝。

但佩戴時也有一定的講究，尤其是對珍珠項鍊長度的選擇。

Jewellery with pearls is suitable for any woman: it can make her look younger as well as elevate the elegance of the simplest classy outfit. Moreover, it is appropriate for many occasions and can go well with many styles of clothing. But we must take into account that pearls should be worn properly, especially the length.

衣領款項鍊

THE COLLAR NECKLACE

衣領款項璉由多股珍珠璉組合而成，長度大概30厘米，緊貼脖頸，給人非常正式的感覺。

衣領款項鍊在維多利亞時期非常流行。

The Collar Necklace combines several strands of pearls, entangling high on the neck with a length of around 30cm, and gives a very formal and outstanding impression. This type of pearl necklace was very popular during the Victorian era.

黛安娜王妃

Lady Diana

佩戴：衣領款項鍊適合搭配露肩的服裝，或至少是V字領的服裝。

非常適合搭配晚宴禮服。

When to wear:with dresses that leave the shoulders and neck exposed, or at least with a V shape collar. It is more suitable for evening dresses worn at galas.

項圈款項鍊

THE CHOKER NECKLACE

項圈款項鍊跟衣領型項鍊相似，但是佩戴位置相對較低，長度在45厘米。

項圈款項鍊給人以精緻優雅的印象，很好地展現出女性的自信和氣質。

The Choker Necklace looks like a collar-necklace but is worn lower on the neck and has a length of 45cm. It still gives a firm impression of a sophisticated and refined lady who controls her image and is not afraid to show confidence.

佩戴：適合搭配晚禮服，也可以搭配商務套裝。

When to wear:Good with an evening dress, but it also has a more universal length that can accommodate business-style clothing.

公主款項鍊

THE PRINCESS NECKLACE

公主款項鍊是最為經典的款式。

單股珍珠鏈，長度在42到50厘米，稍位於脖子的下方。

看起來簡單大氣。

The Princess Necklace is a classic among all kinds of necklaces. Worn as a single strand slightly below the neck, it typically has a length between 42cm and 50cm. You will show a simple, delicate but refined personal image.

佩戴：最普適的一款，可以搭配任何風格的服裝。

優雅風或是商務風，幹練休閒裝，或是羊毛套頭衫都可以搭配的一款。

When to wear:This is the most 「versatile」 pearl necklace, as it goes well with the widest variety clothing styles. In elegant or business attire, smart casual, or with a wool pullover, you cannot go wrong with this choice.

日間款項鍊

THE MATINÉE NECKLACE

日間款項鍊長度在50到62厘米，佩戴時可以一圈也可以繞成兩圈。

The length of the Matinée Necklace falls between 50 and 62 cm and is worn in one or two strands.

佩戴：商務場合搭配正式的套裝。

When to wear:mostly worn during official meetings along with formal dresses.

歌劇款項鍊

THE OPERA NECKLACE

歌劇款項鍊是長款珍珠串璉，長度在75到90厘米。

根據著裝不同，可以打結或是繞成兩圈甚至是三圈佩戴。

The Opera Necklace is a dropdown string of pearls. The length of the necklace is between 75cm and 90cm. Ropes are also knotted or doubled/tripled in order to fit the style of a lady’s dress.

佩戴：非常適合正式的圈層晚宴。

When to wear:It is mainly suitable for formal evenings where class and refinement is a must.

長繩款項鍊

THE ROPE NECKLACE

長繩款珍珠項鍊長度超過90厘米。

因為長度過長，佩戴時會將其打結或者是繞成多圈。

有時甚至會用扣環將其分割成幾部分，製成手鍊搭配，或製成兩串，或是借給朋友一起佩戴。

The Rope Necklace. This necklace is more than 90cm in length; ladies usually wear it knotted, or it can be wrapped several times around the neck. As they can be very, very long, Ropes are sometimes divided with clasps so the different parts can be taken off the main length and used a bracelet, a second strand, and lent to a friend for the evening.

佩戴：適合晚宴，也可以在非正式場合佩戴。

非常彰顯個性。

When wearing it: More suitable for evening outfits, it can also be worn in more casual occasions to make a statement. It may also give a creative touch.

圍嘴款項鍊

THE BIB NECKLACE

圍嘴項鍊由多股不同長度的珍珠串組合而成。

您可以使用不同長度的珍珠項鍊組合搭配起來。

最好選用的珍珠大小形狀也不一樣，效果會更好。

「The Bib Necklace」. It consists of several rows of pearl strands of different lengths. You may have several necklaces of different lengths, potentially with diverse sizes of pearls as well, to create this impression.

可可香奈兒女士

Coco Chanel

佩戴：搭配多樣：晚禮服，無袖休閒裝，襯衫，罩衫等，怎樣搭配取決於珍珠項鍊的大小，形狀，顏色和類型等等。

When wearing it:This style offers a large choice of possibilities: with an evening dress, as well as with casual style jumpers, shirts, and blouses, depending on the arrangement and variety in sizes, types, colours, and types of pearls.

希望在下一次選擇珍珠項鍊時，上面這些建議對您有所幫助。
