How to Choose the Best Necklace Length for You
Not sure which length is right for you? Consider these factors:
- Face Shape: Shorter necklaces (16"-18") can accentuate a long neck, while longer styles (20"-24") can elongate a round face.
- Body Type: Petite frames often suit 16"-20" lengths, while taller individuals can carry off longer styles beautifully.
- Neckline: Match your necklace to your outfit's neckline. For example, chokers work well with open necklines, while longer pendants complement high necklines or turtlenecks.
- Personal Style: Consider what you feel most comfortable wearing. If you prefer subtle jewelry, stick to shorter lengths. For bold statements, try longer pieces or layered looks.
- Occasion: Shorter necklaces are often suitable for professional settings, while longer styles can be great for formal events or casual outings.
Measurement Tip: Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string to measure from the base of your neck to where you want the necklace to fall. This will give you your ideal length.
Style Tip: The 36" necklace, also known as "The Versatile", can be worn long for a dramatic look or doubled up for a layered effect.
