Choosing The Right Necklace Or Chain Length
Click
here to see our selection of silver chains.
Different companies will often produce their chains at varying
lengths, and it can make choosing the right necklace or chain
length difficult. This is a standard chart that can assist
you in the process of choosing the right necklace or chain
length. The sizes listed here are for the average-sized neck;
for larger necks, choose one size up.
Woman's standard necklace sizes
| 16 inches |
choker length |
| 18 inches |
at collarbone |
| 20 inches |
a few inches below collarbone |
| 22 inches |
at or above neckline |
| 24 inches |
below neckline |
Men's standard necklace sizes
| 18 inches |
base of neck *(for smaller
sizes) |
| 20 inches |
to collarbone *(most common) |
| 22 inches |
a few inches below the collarbone |
| 24 inches |
just above the sternum |
For just a general rule of thumb, the most stylish length
of necklace chain would be two sizes, minimum, above your
neck measurement. So while choosing the right necklace or
chain length, use a measuring tape to find how many inches
around your neck is, then add 2 to four inches to that. This
will of course depend upon what the necklace will hold and
where you want it to lay. Longer chains work best with pendants,
crosses, or medallions.
