Necklace Length Guide: Inches & Centimeters

Choosing the right necklace length helps enhance your style and ensures a comfortable fit. Here’s a guide to common necklace lengths, along with their approximate measurements in both inches and centimeters:

• 14" (35 cm) Snug Fit – A close-fitting style that wraps tightly around the neck, similar to a choker.
• 16" (40 cm) Short Necklace – Rests just above the collarbone, offering a sleek and refined look.
• 18" (45 cm) Standard Length – One of the most popular choices, sitting comfortably at or slightly below the collarbone.
• 20-24" (50-60 cm) Mid-Length – Falls between the collarbone and upper chest, great for layering or creating a statement.
• 28-36" (70-90 cm) Long Necklace – Drapes below the bust, perfect for elegant, eye-catching styles.
• 36-42" (90-105 cm) Extra-Long – Designed to be worn long or wrapped around the neck for multiple layers.

While these lengths are commonly used for women’s necklaces, men’s styles typically range between 18-30 inches (45-75 cm), depending on preference.
