Necklaces or chains come in industry standard lengths. This handy guide will assist you in selecting the right necklace length that will best showcase your jewellery, accentuate your best fesatures, suit your body type and frame your face.
When worn correctly, jewellery can draw people to look at your best assets and focus attention away from featrures you would rather not flaunt.
These chain lengths do not include the size of the pendant. You need to allow for an additional 1-2 inches when selecting it depending on the pendat size.
