Size guide - Necklaces

Do you want to start creating necklaces for yourself or as gifts but don't know what length of chain to choose?

With this guide we will explain the different necklace measurements and thus allow you to anticipate the lengths to avoid losing pieces of chains.

To make necklaces, you need:

2 flat pliers and a cutting plier
of the chain of your choice
3mm and/or 4mm rings (depending on the size of the links)
A  carabiner or buoy type clasp
extension chain or clasp attachment

The measures:

The choker size between 30 and 33cm
This is the smallest size. The necklace is therefore closest to the neck. In this case, it will be essential to adjust it to the right size to avoid strangulation and to install an extension chain.

The choker size between 35 and 41cm
Ultra trendy, this size fits perfectly above the collarbones. Ideal with rosary type chains or more elaborate ones. An extension chain will allow you to adjust the length to your neckline.

THE princess necklace size between 42 and 46cm
This is the most common size for a necklace with a small pendant. Your necklace will sit just below the collarbones. You can embellish the necklace with a small stone for a delicate and refined touch.

THEmorning necklace size between 50 and 60cm
Here the necklace will be placed above the chest for its short version and on the chest for the 60cm size. It is a perfect size to highlight a more assertive pendant.

THE  Opera necklace - Long necklace size between 70 and 90cm
This size is ideal for highlighting a larger pendant. Depending on the style of the jewel, the necklace can give a bold look to a chic and sophisticated outfit, casual with a bohemian-style summer dress...

To create a layering (accumulation) of necklaces:
When you want to create an accumulation  of necklaces, it is often difficult to know what lengths to take for each necklace.

Here are the most common sizes for a harmonious result.

- between 38cm and 40cm for the shortest necklace.
- 50cm for the intermediate version.
- 75cm for the longest size.

With these sizes you will obtain a good proportion between the necklaces which will allow you to decorate them with pearls, pendants, natural stones...
