The Necklace (French: La Parure) is a short story by French writer Guy de Maupassant. It is known for its twist ending (ironic ending), which was a hallmark of de Maupassant's style. The story was first published on 17 February 1884 in the French newspaper Le Gaulois .
The book established Maupassant as a prominent French writer following the success of his first short story, "Boule de suif". Five of the eight stories in the collection had already been published in various magazines, like Revue politique et littéraire and La Vie Moderne , and three were originals.
