Necklace Chain Lengths
Choose your Chain ⛓️💥
16" – Choker chic
Sits high on the neck for that 90s throwback vibe. Perfect with open necklines or layered with longer chains.
18" – The classic
Just below the collarbone – the everyday go-to that works with pretty much everything. Great for simple pendants or a wear-all-the-time piece.
20" – Easy elegance
A little lower on the chest, giving pendants some breathing space. Lovely with crew neck tops or layered with shorter chains.
22" – The layer player
Mid-chest and made for stacking. Works beautifully with V-necks or as part of a layered look with shorter necklaces.
24" – Relaxed & versatile
Falls at the upper bust – ideal for heavier pendants. A comfy, easy length that balances statement pieces.
30" – Drama queen
Long and low, usually around the bust line. Perfect over high necks, chunky jumpers, or when you want that effortless boho statement.
Jess' Top Tip ⭐️
The string trick 🧵 - grab a bit of string, ribbon or even a shoelace, pop it round your neck where you’d like your necklace to sit, snip it off and measure… ta-da! Your perfect length.
Things to remember...
Every body is different 💖 - the same chain length will sit differently depending on your height, build, and where you like your jewellery to fall.
Think about your neckline 👗 - higher necklines love longer chains (22–30"), while V-necks and scoop tops look fab with a shorter chain (16–18").
Layer it up 🌙 - if you’re planning to stack a few necklaces together, go for a mix of lengths so they don’t all tangle in one happy little knot.
Common Sizing Issues
Yes! If you’d like your necklace on a different chain, you can select your preferred length.
(Longer chains may cost a little extra)
The trusty string trick never fails!
Wrap a piece of string around your neck where you’d like the necklace to sit, cut it, and measure. Voilà, your perfect length!
Go for a mix of lengths - think 16" with 18" or 20" with 24". This way they sit nicely with less tangling.
Yep! A 16" chain will sit like a choker on some, but more relaxed on others. Always worth double-checking before you order.
18" is the classic go-to - it tends to suit most people and most outfits.
