Size Guide — Necklaces & Pendants
Necklace & Pendant Size Guide
Chain length determines how a necklace sits on the body. Use this guide to choose the length that best suits your style and neckline.
Chain Length Guide
| Length | Where it sits | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 35–40 cm (14–16") | Base of the neck / collarbone | Choker-style, high necklines |
| 42–45 cm (16–18") | Collarbone | Most necklines, everyday wear |
| 50 cm (20") | Below collarbone | V-necks, layering |
| 55–60 cm (22–24") | Above the chest | Pendants, statement pieces |
| 70–80 cm (28–32") | Mid-chest | Long pendants, layering |
| 90+ cm (36"+) | Below chest / waist | Sautoir, opera length |
Tips
- For pendants, a 45–50 cm chain is the most versatile choice.
- Layering works best when chains differ by at least 5–10 cm.
- V-neck and open necklines pair beautifully with longer chains (50–60 cm).
All measurements are the total chain length. Pendant drop length is listed separately in each product description.
