Size Guide - Necklaces
The length of a necklace can completely transform your look: it elongates the silhouette, enhances the neckline, and frames the face. To make the choice simpler, we've put together a quick guide with the main necklace lengths and in which situations each one works best.
Necklace Length Guide
- Choker : 35–40 cm
- Princess Necklace : 40–50 cm
- Long Necklace : 50–60 cm
- Opera Necklace : +60 cm
These lengths are a general guideline and may vary by a few centimeters depending on the necklace style and body type. Below, we explain each one in more detail so you can confidently choose your favorite.
Choker – 35–40 cm
Chokers , or necklaces, sit close to the base of the neck and are especially suitable for long, thin necks .
They are particularly elegant when worn with boat necklines or off-the-shoulder styles , because they accentuate the neckline and add a modern and sophisticated touch to the look.
Princess Necklace – 40–50 cm
The princess necklace is one of the most common and versatile lengths. It typically measures between 40 and 50 cm and sits on the upper part of the bust .
It adapts to virtually all clothing styles and body shapes , making it a safe choice for everyday wear, work, or special occasions.
Long Necklace – 50–60 cm
A long necklace typically reaches chest height . It's perfect for wearing over clothing , creating a visual focal point.
It works very well with turtlenecks , shirts or sweaters, as it elongates the silhouette and helps to balance looks with more closed-neck pieces.
Opera Necklace – +60 cm
Opera collars are over 60 cm long and can fall below the chest, creating an elegant "V" shape .
They are extremely versatile: they go well with various types of necklines and can be worn in a simple version, double-wrapped, or in combination with shorter necklaces for a sophisticated layered effect.
How to Choose the Perfect Length for You?
- Pay attention to the neckline : higher necklines call for medium or long necklaces; open necklines stand out with chokers and princess necklaces.
- Consider your height : very long necklaces tend to elongate the silhouette; short necklaces draw attention to the neck and face area.
- Think about the purpose of the look : for everyday wear, opt for versatile lengths like the princess style; for a special event, try combining different lengths.
