Your length.
Necklace length matters more than you'd think. Here's how to find the one that sits exactly where you want it.
Three ways to measure
- Use a string — tie one end at the back of your neck where you want the clasp, drape it down, mark where you want the front of the necklace to fall, then measure flat with a ruler.
- Use an existing necklace — lay one you already love flat and measure from clasp to clasp.
- Quick visual estimate — see the chart below.
Our three standard lengths
| Range | Where it sits | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 40–43 cm · delicate | Just above collarbone | Closer to throat — feminine, layering with longer pieces |
| 45–48 cm · balanced | On collarbone | The most versatile — works with shirts, scoop necks, sweaters |
| 49–55 cm · dramatic | Below collarbone | Statement length — suits men, V-necks, layering as the longest |
