What Length Should I Order My Necklace?

As a handmade jewelry designer, I am the one who makes the decision whether a necklace design is long,short or somewhere in between. The most common necklace lengths is 16",18" and 20" long.

A choker, collar or petite length necklace would be around 14" to 15". Your necklace would sit just around the base of the neck. You may also want this shorter length for child-sized jewelry.

Industry standard length starts at a 16 length. This size fits most! I find that this length hits just below the collarbones on most people.

18" or 20" is a good choice if you prefer a looser fit. This is also the style known as 'princess' length(17" to 19"). This necklace style also gives you a few more options to mix and match necklaces with different lengths/layers.

20" to 24" let's pendants and charms hang a little more freely,giving a more casual vibe. This is also called "MATINEE" necklace length.

28" to 34" is an "OPERA" length. This size may allow you to create a double-stranded necklace option and gives a lot of versatility.

Over 45" is often called a "ROPE" length and is the longest option available for necklaces. You often see this length of necklace used in pearl strands.

I hope these helps you in terms of choosing the right size of jewelry you

 desire.

Happy New Month to y'all
