NECKLACE LENGTHS
WHAT WE MAKE
Chains are cast in 16″ and 18″. An extender is included, so each chain adjusts within its range.
Lengths are listed on every product page.
WHERE EACH LENGTH SITS
A general reference. Where a chain falls depends on neck and frame, so treat these as approximate.
-
16″ — at the base of the neck, just above the collarbone.
-
18″ — on or just below the collarbone. The most common everyday length.
-
20″ — below the collarbone, on the sternum.
-
24″ — low on the chest, at or above the top of the bust.
MEASURING AT HOME
Take a piece of string or a shoelace, hold it where you want the chain to sit, mark it at the back of the neck, then lay it flat against a ruler. That number is your length.
Measure over the neckline you usually wear, not bare skin — a collar changes where a chain falls by an inch or more.
