Necklace Length Guide: Finding Your Perfect Match

The right necklace length can transform your outfit and flatter your neckline. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you select the perfect necklace for any style or neckline:

Choker (14-16 inches)

  • Sits tightly around the neck
  • Perfect for: boat necks, off-shoulder, scoop necks, and V-necks
  • Creates elegant focal point for the collarbone
  • Adds sophistication to evening wear and casual outfits alike

Princess Length (17-19 inches)

  • Falls at or just below the collarbone
  • Universally flattering and versatile
  • Complements virtually any neckline, especially crew necks and turtlenecks
  • Classic choice for pendants and everyday wear

Matinee (20-24 inches)

  • Rests between the collarbone and bust
  • Ideal for: business attire, high necklines, and turtlenecks
  • Perfect length for statement pendants
  • Elongates the neck and adds vertical interest

Pro Styling Tips:

  • Consider face shape: shorter styles accentuate round faces, while longer necklaces complement longer faces
  • For busy patterns or embellished necklines, choose simpler necklace designs
  • For petite frames, avoid overwhelming with extra-long styles
  • Layer different lengths for a contemporary, personalized look

The perfect necklace not only complements your outfit but enhances your natural features, creating harmony between your jewelry and personal style.
