Size Guide: Chains

When choosing the best length, take into account the setting and outfit the wearer will most likely pair the necklace with. For different occasions and seasons, some women might wear varying lengths of necklaces. For example, in the winter, many women choose longer necklaces since thick outerwear may call for more length.

 

What is the Standard Necklace Length for Men?

Most chain lengths chosen for men typically fall around the collarbone, which is on average around 20 inches in length. If the necklace will include a charm or pendant, a slightly longer chain is recommended. Multiple chains of varying lengths may be worn for a layered look.

How Do I Measure The Right Size Necklace? 

Necklaces vary by chain length. The circumference of your neck and the size of the pendant will impact how your necklace sits on its own and with other styles. Use our size guide to ensure the perfect match.

1. Start by measuring a piece of string to the same size as the necklace you wish to purchase.
2. Place the string around the neck to see where it falls. Please factor in the size and shape of the pendant when doing this.
3. This process can be repeated for varied lengths.
