The Ultimate Necklace Length Guide: Find Your Perfect Fit & Style

Are you struggling to choose the perfect necklace length? Whether you're looking for a necklace with pendant, a chain necklace, or a layering piece, getting the right size can make a huge difference to your overall look.
Choosing the right necklace length isn't just about aesthetics — it's about proportion, styling, and what works best for your neckline and body shape.
It can be tricky to figure out. As an Australian jeweller, I have created hundreds of different necklaces for women going back 30 years (true story!), so I know a thing or two about necklace lengths.
I've written this guide to help you figure it out and also to give you some ideas about how to style and wear necklaces to suit you and your clothing. In this guide, you'll find:
- A necklace length chart (with cm and inches) to help visualise how different lengths sit on the body.
- Tips on how to measure for a necklace to ensure the best fit.
- Guidance on which necklace length works best with different necklines and outfits.
- Information on adjustable necklace designs and how to make your jewellery collection work for you.
