Length changes the whole feel of a necklace. Use a soft tape measure or a piece of string to explore where you would like your beads to sit, then measure that length against a ruler.
| Length | Approx. inches | The feel |
|---|---|---|
| 60.96 cm | 24 in | Current catalog necklace length |
| 36 cm | 14.2 in | Close to the neck |
| 38 cm | 15.0 in | A short, easy layer |
| 40 cm | 15.7 in | Near the collarbone |
| 42 cm | 16.5 in | A little breathing room |
| 44–45 cm | 17.3–17.7 in | A relaxed neckline |
Make room for the beads.
Bead size and neck circumference affect the fit. A necklace of larger beads can feel shorter than a fine chain of the same measured length. Never choose a fit that feels tight or restricts movement.
Layer with intention.
Try a gap of 4–6 cm between strands so each necklace has space. The owner specifies a 24-inch (60.96 cm) necklace length and 2 × 2-inch (5.08 × 5.08 cm) pendant dimensions for each current listing. These are owner-supplied specifications, not measurements inferred from a photo.
