Defining and Selecting Necklace Lengths

Measuring the Length of a Necklace
Necklace length measurement should include the clasp that holds a necklace in place. The clasp can add three-quarters of an inch, or even more, to the necklace length. Necklace length measurements at Exquisite Jewelry Designs includes the clasp and hook lengths in the overall length given for each necklace.

Ensuring Various Necklace Lengths Fit You.
Most necklace lengths are made to match one of several standard lengths, typically grouped into several different length categories. Even when lengths vary you can use the standards to help visualize how a necklace will fit..

If your overall body type is larger or smaller than what's considered "average," necklaces will fit you differently. Here are some ways you can actually see how that new Handcrafted Necklace will sit around your neck and on your neckline:.

- let the lengths of necklaces you already own be your guide to new necklace styles (measure and record your favorite necklace lengths - remember to include the clasp length as well).

- go shopping and try on necklaces of different lengths (record the lengths that you like best).

- using a length of string or a light chain, like the pull chain used for a light, try different lengths around your neck. You might want a friend, your husband or boyfriend to assist you with this procedure. Measure and record the lengths that fit you the best..

Adjustable Necklaces.
Some necklaces have extra links at one end so that the clasp on the other end can attach in different places to adjust the necklace length. Adjustable necklaces are versatile, since you can change their appearance to suit your ensemble, and the decorative chains that are often used for end adjustments are fashionable as they dangle at the back of your neck. These necklaces are good choices when you're giving a jewelry gift and aren't sure which length to buy..

Short Necklaces.
- Short, fifteen or sixteen inch necklaces are called chokers. They rest just above the collarbone, accenting your neckline.

- Even shorter necklaces are called collars. They wrap snugly around your neck..

Longer Necklaces.
- A princess necklace usually measures about eighteen inches and. hangs just below the collarbone..

- Twenty-four inch necklaces are sometimes referred to as matinee length necklaces. They hang much lower on your body, extending to the breast area.

- An opera length is 28 inches or more.

- Ropes are very long necklaces that can be worn as is or wrapped to create a two-stranded choker.

- Lariats are another type of very long necklace, but they typically have no clasp on the end so that you just tie and knot them in different ways to suit your style. This versatile jewelry can also be used as a decorative belt..
