Standard lengths
The jewelry industry has standard necklace lengths that come with necklace length and denomination for that length, along with proper placement of the necklace.
Standard Necklace Lengths for Women
Women’s necklaces are standardly sold in even-inch lengths (in jewelry business we do not normally talk about centimeters, as almost all industrially made chains will come in inches, we included corresponding lengths in centimeters in the chart for more clarity, however measures in centimeters are rounded to even number). This chart will help you learn where each necklace length falls on the average woman’s body (these description are made for standard body measures but every body (and neck) is different so if you are unsure we always recommend to determine correct measure for yourself – more on that below).
Neck Size
If possible, take the time to measure your neck before purchasing any necklace (especially when you are deciding for a choker). The best way is of course to measure one of the existing necklaces which falls exactly how you like it.
If that’s not possible then measure your neck with a soft measuring tape, then lay it flat on a surface and measure the length up to the mark. This measurement should be your necklace chain length. We recommend you to consider the style of the pendant and also the size of the necklace chain before making final decision.

CHOKER: Proper chokers are 14 -16 inches in length, and are worn tightly against your neck. What is convenient about them is that You can wear it with just about anything, but if worn on a short neck or a wide one, your neck can look stubby. A choker will draw attention to your neck, so if you’re insecure about the state of it, these should be avoided. A long necklace with a beautiful pendant will attract more flattering attention instead.
