A necklace is chosen by where it lands — at the throat, the collarbone, or the bust — and that landing point changes with every neckline. Use the diagram below to see how each length sits, then confirm it against the reference chart in inches and centimetres.
Tap a length on the diagram or buttons below to see how it sits.
Sits elegantly on the collarbone. Ideal for pendants and pairs well with most necklines.
| Style | Inches | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|
| Collar | 14" | 36 cm |
| Choker | 16" | 41 cm |
| Princess | 18" | 46 cm |
| Matinee | 20" | 51 cm |
| Opera | 24" | 61 cm |
| Rope | 30" | 76 cm |
Tip: For layered looks, choose lengths 2–4 inches apart so each piece sits distinctly. If between sizes, sizing up allows for a more relaxed, comfortable drape.
