Necklace Size Guide
Choosing the right necklace is key to complementing your style. This guide will help you find the perfect length for any occasion.
1. Necklace Length Measurement
Necklace length is measured from one end to the other. Use a tape measure or string to measure around your neck to find the ideal fit for your style.
2. Necklace Lengths and Where They Fall
| Length | Style | Falls On |
|---|---|---|
| 12" - 14.5" | Choker | Right at the collarbone |
| 16" - 18" | Princess | At the collar |
| 19" | Matinee | Below the collarbone |
| 23" | Opera | At the center of chest |
| 26" | Long Necklace | Below the chest |
| 33" | Lariat / Long Chain | Near the belly button |
3. Choosing the Right Necklace Length
-
Face and Neck: For short necks, opt for slightly longer necklaces (like princess or matinee styles) to elongate your neckline. Longer necks pair well with shorter necklaces like chokers.
-
Neckline: V-neck or low-cut tops look great with longer necklaces, while high-neck tops are best with shorter necklaces.
-
Personal Style: Shorter necklaces (chokers, princess) are more delicate and casual. Longer necklaces (opera, lariat) make a bold, fashionable statement.
4. Tips for Adjusting Necklace Length
Many necklaces come with extension chains, allowing you to add or remove links for a perfect fit.
