How to choose the right necklace length for you

How to choose the right necklace length for you.

Finding the right length necklace can be a challenge.  Here at Sweet Sweet Silver we have compiled a list of the most common size chains and wear they sit on your neck.  We have listed the length in inch (“) as well as center meter (cm) so you can easily identify the measurement. Of course we make all our own chains and can usually cut chain to your desired length.


If you can, over time buy necklaces of various lengths so you can chop and change between each one depending on your outfit’s neckline and the occasion. The fashion we are seeing trending at the moment is to wear multiple necklaces all falling at different lengths for a layered look.


The 14″ NECKLACE (35.56cm)

Fits like a choker


The 16″ NECKLACE (40.64cm)

A 16 inch necklace falls around the base of the neck, fitting like a collar for most people. For petite frames, a 16 inch necklace might hang slightly lower down to the collarbones. Most necklaces come in 16 inch length and will complement almost any neckline. For plus size women, this necklace might feel like a choker.


The 18″ NECKLACE (45.72cm)

An 18 inch necklace is popular choice among women and will fall just below the throat at the collarbone. This length is popular for adding pendants, and the piece will hang over a t-shirt.


The 20″ NECKLACE -The most popular size (50.8cm)

A 20 inch necklace will fall a few inches below the collarbone to will allow a little more breathing room. This is a good length if you have a low, plunging neckline or if you would like to wear it over a high neck top.


The 24″ NECKLACE (60.96cm)

Falls below a neckline between the breasts. A good choice if wearing your necklace over the top of your shirt.


The 36″ NECKLACE (91.44cm)

A 36 inch necklace is common and will hang below the breast. They can be worn as a single strand or you can wrap them around twice for an 18 inch necklace. Popular with wooden beads.
