Necklace Length Guide
UNDERSTANDING NECKLACE LENGTHS
Necklaces or chains come in industry standard lengths. This guide will assist you to understand the right length that will best showcase your pendant, accentuate your features, suit your body type, and frame your face.
When worn correctly, jewellery can draw people to look at your best assets and deflect attention from the features you would rather not flaunt. These chain lengths do not include the size of the pendant.
