The Necklace Sizing Guide
The Necklace Sizing Guide is to help customers choose the correct length that best suits their style. Here's a basic guide that you can use:
Necklace Length Guide
- Choker (14-16 inches / 35-40 cm):
- Sits tightly around the neck.
- Works well with open-neck clothing like v-neck or off-the-shoulder tops.
- Princess (17-19 inches / 43-48 cm):
- Rests just above the collarbone.
- Ideal for crew and high necklines. This length is often used for pendants.
- Matinee (20-24 inches / 50-61 cm):
- Falls between the collarbone and the bust.
- Complements both business and casual attire.
- Opera (28-36 inches / 71-91 cm):
- Hangs below the bust.
- Often worn as a single long strand or doubled for a layered look.
- Rope or Lariat (Over 36 inches / 91 cm+):
- Falls below the waist.
- Can be worn in multiple styles, such as knotted, doubled, or wrapped.
Tips for Choosing the Right Necklace Length:
Consider Your Neck Size: Measure your neck circumference before choosing a choker. Add 2 inches for a comfortable fit.
Match with Neckline: Low necklines pair well with shorter necklaces, while higher necklines suit longer lengths.
Height Matters: Petite individuals (5’4” and under) often prefer shorter lengths like princess or matinee. Taller individuals (over 5’7”) can comfortably wear longer lengths like opera or rope.
Layering: Mixing different lengths can create a trendy, layered look. Combine a choker with a matinee length, for example, to add depth and style.
Pendant Size: If your necklace has a pendant, consider its size in relation to the length of the necklace to ensure it sits at the desired spot.
This guide should help you choose the perfect necklace length based on your personal style and outfit.
