NECKLACE LENGTHS

​​

​​

Chain length is listed on each product page, along with an extender if the piece includes one.

​

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.
