How to Choose Necklace LengthNecklace Length

A necklace can elevate your look immensely or it can draw attention to areas that you don’t want highlighted. Whether you’re shopping for a necklace online or in stores, find out how to choose the necklace length that’s right for your body and style.

The first thing you need to do is measure the circumference of your neck. Use a soft measuring tape and make sure it’s a snug fit to determine your size. Once you’ve gotten that out of the way, you can start looking at the right length for you. Keep in mind that the clasp also adds length to the necklace. The standard length of the connector is three-fourths of an inch, but the clasps can sometimes be longer and they’re not included in the overall length.
