How to Determine Your Necklace Length

 

Step 1. Find Your Neck Size

You can take a measurement at home using a soft measuring tape. If you do not have a soft measuring tape, you can use a ribbon instead.

First, wrap the ribbon around the base of the wearer’s neck, adjust it to the length of necklace the wearer desire, and mark the spot where the ends meet.

Then, lay the ribbon against a yardstick or ruler to determine approximate neck size.

You’ve got it figured out now.

Step 2. Find Your Necklace Size

After a measurement is obtained, it’s a good idea to opt for a necklace length that is at least the second size up from your neck size. For example, if you have an 35cm neck, you should probably choose a chain length of 42cm or more.
