Finding the right length means defining your style

Choosing the right chain length is essential to highlight your style. Whether you prefer a delicate look or a more visible chain, the length directly influences how your jewelry drapes and catches attention.

This guide shows you how different chain lengths sit on a woman, to help you make the right choice.

Most popular lengths

16 inches (40 cm)
Choker style. Sits close to the neck, perfect for a subtle and elegant look.

18 inches (45 cm)
Rests on the collarbone. Classic and versatile length, ideal for everyday wear.

20 inches (50 cm)
Falls just below the collarbone, at the top of the bust. A little more visible while remaining refined.

22 inches (55 cm)
Reaches bust level. Perfect for a more prominent look or with a pendant.

How to choose the right length

• Body type: Neck size and silhouette influence how the chain drapes.

• Personal style: Short for a delicate look, longer for a bolder style.

• With or without a pendant: Pendants are generally best showcased with chains 18" and longer.
