How to measure the ideal length for you

1. Take a string or ribbon and wrap it around your neck.
2. Adjust the string so that it falls exactly where you want your necklace to rest.
3. Mark this spot on the string with a pen.
4. Unroll the string and measure its length with a ruler. This measurement in centimeters is the necklace length that will best suit you.

Standard necklace lengths

• Crew Neck (35-40 cm): Sits at the base of the neck, ideal for open collars and low necklines.
• Princess (40-45 cm): This is the most common length. It falls on the collarbones and can be worn with almost any type of clothing.
• Matinée (50-60 cm): Longer than the princess necklace, it falls below the collarbone and above the chest. It is perfect for highlighting a pendant.
• Sautoir (70 cm and over): These are long necklaces that hang below the chest, lengthening the silhouette.
