Most of my necklaces come with either a 16" or an 18" chain. You can swap the length of any necklace by also adding the Chain Upgrade to your order. 16" and 18" can be swapped free of charge, there is a small £3 fee to upgrade to 20" or 24".

Women's necklaces are usually sold in even numbers of inches, 14", 16", 18", 20", 22" and 24". Whilst this guide, and this information page, provides a helpful point of reference this will differ slightly from person to person. 16" is considered a standard comfortable length for women, however I find an 18" a more comfortable fit. This may also be true for other plus-sized ladies.

• A 14" chain will fit like a choker, wrapping closely around the neck.
• A 16" chain will sit around the base of the neck, on a petite woman it may hang loosely sitting like a collar on the collarbone. However, on a plus size woman it may sit more like a choker. My charm necklaces come on a 16" chain.
• An 18" necklace is a popular choice, for women it will sit at the collarbone. My Custom Bar Necklaces, Bee Hexagon Necklaces and Open Heart Necklaces come on an 18" chain.
• A 20" necklace adds a little bit of extra movement, sitting bellow the collarbone. This is a great choice if you wear v-necks.
• A 22" chain will sit just above the bust.
• A 24" chain will sit on the bust (for most). A popular choice for larger statement necklaces, like my Pebbles and Large Stars, I like to wear these with chunky knits and summer jumpsuits.

Men's Sizing:

For men, the most common size is 20". An 18" will sit at the base of the neck, a 20" chain will just reach the collarbone and a 22" chain will sit at the collarbone.
