Necklace Length Guide
How can you determine the appropriate chain length for your neck? First, decide the desired position of the necklace on your body. Take a length of string and wrap it around your neck. Secure the string at the point on your chest where you wish the necklace to rest. Next, lay the string flat and measure its length in inches. This measurement will indicate the length you should choose for your new necklace.

How to choose the name necklace chain length?
When selecting the appropriate length for a name necklace chain, it is important to consider that the measurements provided on the website do not account for the pendant's length. Typically, our pendants range from 2 to 5 centimeters in length. Therefore, the overall length of your personalised jewellery will be the length of the chosen chain in addition to the length of the name pendant. For instance, if you opt for a name necklace with a 40 cm chain, the total length of the necklace will be between 42 cm and 45 cm, depending on the number of characters in the name and the design style.
What is the most popular necklace length?
The most commonly favoured necklace length is 50 cm, which typically sits just below the collarbone. For name necklaces, the preferred chain length is 45 cm, which hangs slightly beneath the collarbone.
