Wondering which necklace length will suit you best? Our necklace size guide helps you visualize how each standard length drapes on your body. Since every person’s build is unique, these measurements serve as a helpful reference to find your ideal fit.
Use our necklace size chart below to compare styles and choose the perfect jewelry length for your neckline and outfit.
The most important measurement is the total necklace circumference (end to end). Please note that the extension chain—used for adjustment—is not included in this main measurement.
Example: Total length: 42 cm (adjustable with 5 cm extension chain). This means the necklace measures 42 cm and can be extended by up to 5 cm for a custom fit.
Worn snugly around the neck, this elegant short length suits off-shoulder tops, V-necklines, or simple blouses.
This short and delicate style sits above the collarbone and beautifully enhances open-neck dresses or tops.
The most popular and versatile length, ideal for everyday wear. Complements boatneck or crew-neck tops.
Falls on the upper chest, perfect for business looks, high-neck blouses, or button-downs.
A refined choice for evening wear, turtlenecks, or layered styles.
This long statement piece can be looped or layered, making it perfect for boho-chic or sophisticated outfits.
The right length can transform your entire look. If you have broader shoulders or a fuller bust, opt for longer necklaces to elongate your neckline. Petite builds often benefit from shorter styles that highlight the collar area.
Tip: Pair shorter necklaces with open necklines, and longer ones with higher necklines for perfect balance.
