FINDING THE RIGHT NECKLACE SIZE

Does size matter? Definitely. We're discussing necklace sizes today, and I'm pleased to have captured your attention.


First, let's consider what qualifies as 'big' and 'small'.


The most popular necklace lengths include the standard (or princess) length of 45 cm (18 inches). If you're seeking an everyday necklace, this is likely to be your go-to length. For those who are taller or have a larger frame, opting for a matinee length necklace (55 cm or 22 inches) can achieve a similar effect.

Small necklaces, also known as chokers, typically measure 40 cm long (16 inches), while big necklaces, such as opera length necklaces, range from 70 to 85 cm (28 to 34 inches). The choice of the right length depends on your body type, so keep this in mind when referencing the sizing charts.


Jewellery is art you can wear. An expression of creativity that adorns the body with meaning.


Now, let's move on to the question of how to measure for a necklace, chain, or pendant.

The easiest method to determine your necklace size is by using a tape measure alongside your favorite necklace. Simply unclasp your necklace, lay it out flat next to a ruler or measuring tape, and read the length. Round the measurement to the nearest centimeter and provide me with the length of your desired necklace.

If you don't have a tape measure on hand, don't fret! You can effortlessly measure your desired necklace size using a string or ribbon. Take a string or ribbon and encircle it around your neck, indicating the desired length you wish for your necklace. Mark where the string overlaps and align it with a ruler to record the measurement. Share this measurement with me to specify your desired length. Voila!
