Find the right necklace length for your style, neckline, body type, and pendant choice. Use the chart below as a general guide, then compare it with a necklace you already love for the best fit.
Common Size Recommendations:
| Length | Fit | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 14 inches | Close around the neck | Choker-style fit |
| 16 inches | Base of the neck | Collar length and delicate layering |
| 18 inches | At or slightly below the collarbone | Classic everyday necklace length |
| 20 inches | Below the collarbone | Pendants and relaxed styling |
| 24 inches | Upper chest | Longer pendants and layering |
| 30+ inches | Below the bust | Rope length, statement looks, or doubled styling |
How to Measure:
Method 1: Use a string or measuring tape
Wrap it around your neck at the desired length, let it fall naturally, mark the point, then measure it flat.
Method 2: Measure a necklace you already own
Lay your favorite necklace flat and measure it end to end, including the clasp.
