Necklace Lengths

Necklace length is measured end to end, including the clasp. Here’s roughly where each length falls:

• 14" sits snug at the base of the neck, choker style.

• 16" rests at the base of the neck, just above the collarbone. It’s great for layering.

• 18" falls right at the collarbone. It’s the most popular length and flattering on almost everyone.

• 20" sits just below the collarbone. It’s perfect with open necklines.

• 22" lands at the top of the bust. It’s a relaxed, easy fit.

These are general guides. Where a necklace falls depends on your neck size and build. Pendants hang slightly lower than the chain itself.

How To Find Your Length

Take a piece of string or a soft measuring tape and drape it around your neck where you’d like the necklace to sit. Mark the spot, then measure the string with a ruler. You can also measure a necklace you already own and love.

Layering Tip

For an easy layered look, space your necklaces about 2 inches apart, like a 16" with an 18", or an 18" with a 20".

Earrings

Each earring listing includes its exact measurements, so you know just what to expect.

• Length is measured from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the earring.

• Width is measured at the widest point.

How To Picture The Size

Grab a ruler and hold it up to your ear in the mirror. It’s the quickest way to see how a piece will look on you. For reference, a quarter is about 1 inch across.

Ear Wires

My earrings use 20 gauge 14k gold-filled ear wires, which are comfortable for everyday wear and a great choice for most sensitive ears.
