Necklace lengths
Find your length
Where a chain sits depends on you: your neck, your shoulders, your favourite necklines and what you like to layer. Here's a guide to get you close.
Where each length sits
| Length | Usually sits |
|---|---|
| 40cm | At the base of the neck. Short and sweet. |
| 45cm | Just below the collarbone. The everyday favourite. |
| 50cm | A little lower. Lovely over a crew neck. |
| 55cm | Mid chest. Great for layering under shorter chains. |
| 60cm | Long and loose, over knits and open collars. |
A few tips
- Everyone's different. On a petite frame a 40cm chain can sit like a longer length, and on a fuller frame it can sit more like a 35cm choker.
- Pendants pull the chain into a soft V, so they'll sit a little lower than the chain alone.
- Layering? Measure the chains you already love and choose lengths around 5cm apart so they don't tangle.
- The string trick. Lay a piece of string around your neck where you'd like it to sit, then measure it.
