Necklace length can change the overall look of a piece and where it sits on the neckline. Use this guide to choose a length that suits your preferred style.

How to Choose Your Length

Use a flexible measuring tape around your neck and position it where you would like the necklace to sit. You can also measure a necklace you already own and like.

Styling Tips

  • 16–18 inch necklaces work well for many everyday looks.
  • Longer lengths can be layered with shorter necklaces for a dimensional look.
  • Pendants can make a necklace appear to hang slightly lower depending on their size and weight.
  • Your neck circumference, height, neckline, and personal preference can all affect how a necklace length looks.

Fit is approximate and can vary from person to person. Check the individual product page for the exact chain length and any extender length included with the item.
