Necklace Lengths

10/17/2014

When purchasing a necklace for yourself or as a gift, choosing the right length is crucial.  Below is a guide to common necklace lengths in the industry.

Choker or Collar Length- typically between 13-16 inches.  Chokers or collars fall just above the collarbone.  The length will depend on the neck diameter of the individual, and extenders can be a good addition to get a comfortable fit.

Princess Length- between 17-19 inches.  Princess length necklaces are very common, and fall below the collarbone. 

Matinee Length- 20-24 inches.  Matinee length necklaces fall onto the chest, and are perfect for large pendants or other focal pieces.

Opera Length- 28-32 inches.  Opera length necklaces drape onto the torso.  Longer chains or pieces with texture make great opera length necklaces, but anything delicate or fragile should be avoided; because of the longer length the necklaces may swing into things and be damaged.

Ropes and Lariats- 40 inches or longer.  Ropes and lariats are very versatile- they can be worn at their full length, or wrapped around the neck to create a layered, shorter look.

When people go buying jewelry online, they need to keep a few things in perspective so that their buying experience can be safe and hassle free. For instance, you should never over look the importance of doing research. Research online is the same as window shopping in a mall.

It is a great idea to make sure you don’t pick out jewelry that is going to clash with your outfit, or make it look gaudy.
