Choker (14–16"): A timeless favourite—this length wraps close to the neck and highlights your jawline.
Princess (17–19"): Universally flattering and versatile, princess-length necklaces rest just below the collarbone. They're perfect for everyday wear.
Matinee (20–24"): Elegant and suitable for layering, this length adds a sophisticated touch to both casual and professional looks.
Opera (28–36"): Dramatic and graceful, opera-length necklaces can be styled as long single strands or doubled for a layered effect.
Rope (36"+): The most versatile and the longest style of all—the rope length exudes drama and creativity. Wear it long, wrap it, knot it.

This method is ideal if you don't have a necklace to use as a reference.

Find a String or Soft Measuring Tape: Grab a piece of string, ribbon, or a flexible measuring tape.
Wrap it Around Your Neck: Hold one end of the string at the base of your neck and wrap it around to where you want the necklace to hang.
Mark the Desired Length: Mark the point where the ends meet comfortably. This is your base measurement.
Measure the String: Lay the string flat and measure the length with a ruler.
Adjust for Fit: Add 2-3 cm for a closer, more snug fit or 5 cm for a relaxed, looser fit.

This is the simplest way to find your ideal length if you already own a necklace that you love the fit of.

Select a Reference Necklace: Choose a necklace from your collection that sits exactly where you want your new one to sit.
Lay it Flat: Unclasp the necklace and lay it flat on a table or other flat surface.
Measure from End to End: Use a ruler or tape measure to measure the total length of the necklace, including the clasp.

Important Considerations:
- Pendant Size: Keep in mind that the length of a necklace measurement usually refers to the chain only. A large or heavy pendant can change how the necklace hangs and make it appear to sit shorter.
- Body Type and Height: The same necklace length can look different on various people. Consider your height, neck size, and body frame when choosing a length.
- Layering: If you plan on layering multiple necklaces, choose different lengths (e.g., a 40 cm, 45 cm, and 50 cm) to ensure each piece is visible and doesn't get tangled.
