Choosing the Right Necklace Length

Necklaces or chains come in industry standard lengths. This handy necklace length guide will assist you to select the right necklace length that will best showcase your jewellery, accentuate your best features, suit your body type, and frame your face.

When worn correctly, jewellery can draw people to look at your best assets and draw attention away from the features you would rather not flaunt. These chain lengths do not include the size of the pendant. You need to take into consideration between 1-2 inches when selecting a chain depending on the pendant size you’ve chosen from this necklace lengths chart.
