Necklace Size Guide
The perfect necklace size will vary by chain length, circumference of your neck, size of the pendant and your personal style. Use the following guide to determine your ideal necklace length.
Method 1: Measuring Tape
For this method, you will need a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string.
- Wrap the measuring tape around your neck, to the length you desire. Be sure to allow room for comfort.
- Compare that length to the size chart below.
Method 2: Piece of String
- Measure and cut a piece of string, to same length as the necklace you desire.
- Place it around your neck, to determine where it falls on you. Be sure to consider the size and shape of the pendant.
