Necklace Length Guide

-
Where it sits-
Length-

See where a necklace will sit and what its traditional style name is, based on the chain length. Necklace lengths have classic names that describe where they fall on an average adult: a collar or choker sits high on the neck, a princess length rests on the collarbone, a matinee reaches the top of the bust, an opera falls to the breastbone, and a rope hangs lower still. Enter a length in inches or centimeters and this tool names the style, describes where it lands, and shows the measurement in both units so you can shop confidently. Body height and neck size shift where a given length sits, so a length that is a princess on one person can be a choker on another, but the standard names give a reliable frame of reference. Use it to pick a chain that flatters a neckline or layers well. Everything runs in your browser and updates instantly.
