1. Necklaces for women
- This guide will help you with your next necklace purchase. First, learn how and where different necklace lengths fall on the body and discover the guidelines and how to choose the right necklace length for your neck, your height, your face shape and your body type. The right necklace length is very important as it can accentuate your body's strengths and shape your overall look. Necklace lengths vary widely, both for men and women. Women's necklaces are usually between 25cm (10 inch) and 120cm (48 inch) long, while men's necklaces range from 46cm (18 inch) to 60cm (24 inch) long. When deciding which length of necklace to buy, both men and women should take into account the size of the neck and the length of the clasp that is on the necklace.
Factors to know before buying a necklace
- Depending on the size of your neck, 25-35cm (10-14 inch) necklaces are very tightly wrapped around your neck. These necklaces are also called collars. If you want your necklace to be directly against your neck but looser, then consider buying a 40cm (16 inch) necklace that sits just above your collarbone. A 45cm (18 inch) necklace that sits on the collarbone. Although 45cm (18 inch) necklaces are longer than typical necklaces, they still appear to be quite close to the neck. The pendants that are on 45cm (18 inch) necklaces/necklaces usually lie above the breastbone. 45cm (18 inch) necklaces are the most common length of necklace and are often referred to as 'princess necklaces'. If you want a necklace that lies just below the collarbone but above the neckline, consider a 50cm (20 inch) necklace. The 50cm (20 inch) necklace length is a common choice for many necklaces, chains and pendants and is also known as a 'matinee'. 55cm (22 inch) necklaces lie just above the top of the bust. This length of necklace can also be called a "matinee". In fact, this name can be applied to any necklace length in the range of 50-60cm (20-24 inch). Usually, such a necklace is just at or below the centre of the bust. Necklaces 70-85cm (28-34 inch) long lie on or below the breast and may wrap twice around the neck. This length of necklace is also commonly referred to as an 'opera necklace' or 'lariat necklace'. 'Opera necklaces' are usually without a clasp, while those with a clasp are 'lariat necklaces'. Necklaces with a length of 100 cm (40 inches) or more lie on or below the navel and are often wrapped two or three times around the neck. Such necklaces are usually strung, knotted and often without a clasp.
Choosing the right necklace length for a woman's body
- A beautiful necklace is an important focal point on a woman's body. When choosing a new necklace (especially a more expensive one), you should think carefully about what length of necklace would look good on your body. When considering the length of a necklace, the most important elements are your neck, your height, your body type and your face shape.
Choosing the right necklace length for your neck
- The most important factor in choosing the right necklace for your body type is your neck. Because necks differ from one another, a standard necklace for the average woman may be smaller or larger than the actual neck. It is therefore advisable to measure your neck before buying a new necklace. This is particularly important when buying collars, as these tend to be shorter than others. The easiest and best way to measure your neck is with a soft sewing tape measure, which you simply wrap tightly around your neck. To get an accurate measurement, the tape measure should be wrapped tightly around your neck (but not choking you). Once you know your neck measurement, choose a necklace length one size larger than your actual measurement. For example, if you measure your neck circumference at 35cm (14 inch), the minimum recommended necklace length is 40cm (16 inch).
Choosing the right necklace length for your height
- It is important to consider your height when choosing the length of the necklace. A necklace that is too long could dominate the look of 'shorter' women, while a necklace that is too short could be lost on 'taller' women.
- Recommended length of necklace according to your height:
- under 160cm (5'4″) - A 40-50cm (16-20 inch) length necklace would look best on your body. A V- or Y-shaped necklace will optically lengthen your neck and make you appear taller.
- 160-170cm (5'4″-5'7″) - All necklace lengths can be worn.
- 170cm (5'7″) or taller - All necklace lengths can be worn. You will look especially good with a longer necklace.
Choosing the right necklace length for your body type
- Different lengths of necklaces are a great way to accentuate certain parts of the body and minimise others. Women with a lush bust should choose a necklace that is 50-55cm (20-22 inch) long, as it lies just below the collarbone and above the top of the breasts. Women with smaller busts should choose thinner, long necklaces that will make you look even more elegant. If you have a fuller body, do not wear necklaces that are at or below the breast line, as the necklace will not lie properly on your body. Instead, wear a necklace that sits slightly higher on your body, such as a 45-55cm (18-22 inch) necklace.
Choosing the right necklace length for your face type
- A necklace is literally the frame of your face. Necklace lengths vary depending on the shape of your face (oval, round, cute, angular...). You can use your necklace as a powerful tool to influence how others see you, and at the same time accentuate your best facial features. If your face is heart-shaped, a necklace length of 25-40 cm (10-16 inch) is recommended for you. A collar will soften the harsh look of a heart-shaped face. If you have a round face, the recommended necklace length for you is 66-90 cm (26-36 inch). Longer necklaces will elongate the appearance of the jawline. Avoid collars as they accentuate the shape of the face and make it look even rounder. If you have a round face, a necklace length of 25-35 cm (10-14 inch) is recommended. A collar optically shortens the length of the face and at the same time softens the appearance of roundness. If your face is oval in shape, all necklace lengths are recommended.

2. Bracelet
- Measuring your bracelet size is very easy. Simply take a tape measure, a strip of paper or a piece of string and squeeze it tightly around your wrist. If you prefer a more snug/tight bracelet, then use the actual measured circumference of your wrist. If you prefer a looser bracelet, then increase the measurement by 0.60cm (¼ inch) or 1.20cm (½ inch), depending on your taste. Also remember that bracelets with larger stones can be tighter than thin bracelets.
FLEXIBLE BRACELET
- For a more accurate measurement of wrist circumference, hold your hand and fingers as if you were putting on a glove. Measure around the widest part of the arm, which is usually around the knuckles.
3. Ring
- It is a good idea to know the size of your ring before you buy it. It's very simple. Simply take a sewing tape measure, a strip of paper or a simple string and wrap it tightly around your finger. Remember to measure the size across the knuckle of your chosen finger, as this is the widest part of the finger. Measure your finger in the evening when it is at its widest. If you know your ring size in inches or millimetres, check the size conversion chart to find out which ring size you need.

4. Men's necklace
- Typically, the minimum length of a men's necklace is 45cm (18 inches), which lies at the base of the average man's neck. If you are looking for a slightly longer necklace, 50cm (20 inch) is the right length for you as it sits directly on the collarbone and is the most common necklace length for men. The longest length of a men's necklace is usually 60cm (24 inch) and lies just above the sternum of the average man.
Choosing the right length for a man's necklace
- For men, the most important factor when choosing the length of a necklace is the size or circumference of their neck. Men should follow the same neck measurement guidelines as women. Wrap a soft tailor's tape measure tightly around your neck. To get an accurate measurement, the tape measure should be wrapped tightly around your neck, but should not choke you. Once you know your neck measurement, a good rule of thumb is to choose a necklace length one size larger than your actual measurement. For example, if you measure your neck circumference at 40cm (16 inch), the minimum recommended necklace length is 50cm (20 inch). The most universal length for men is 50cm (20 inch) or a necklace that lies directly on the collarbone. A slightly longer length for men's necklaces is 55cm (22 inch) or 60cm (24 inch) on which pendants are often worn.
