Find your everyday necklace length.

The right chain length depends on your frame, neckline, pendant, and the way you like to wear your jewelry.

Start with a piece you own.

Measure a favorite necklace from end to end, including its clasp. Compare that measurement with the chain lengths shown on the product page.

Try a length at home.

Cut a piece of string to a listed chain length and hold it around your neck. This helps visualize where the chain or pendant might sit. Never tie it tightly.

Leave room for layering.

If you are pairing two chains, choose lengths that let each piece sit clearly on its own. The shape of a pendant can also change how a necklace falls.

There is no universal perfect length. There is the one that feels right on you.
