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.
