What chain length to choose for a woman?

When choos­ing wom­en’s jew­el­ry, oth­er cri­te­ria apply.

The fol­low­ing method will help answer the ques­tion of how to accu­rate­ly choose the length of the chain for a woman. Before buy­ing, you need to decide which part of the body needs to be empha­sized with this piece of jew­el­ry:

The own­ers of the “swan” neck fit a chain 35–40 cm long. It can be wide or con­sist of thin links. If desired, it can be sup­ple­ment­ed with a small pen­dant.

How­ev­er, this option is not for puffy ladies. For them, a suit­able length is 45 cm.

45–50 cm — a bright accent for the neck­line with a frag­ile and medi­um build.

From 60 cm — it is cus­tom­ary to wear over clothes. She draws atten­tion to her chest.

Depend­ing on the length, the fol­low­ing mod­els of chains are made:

• col­lar (35 cm) — dec­o­ra­tion in the girth of the neck. It is worn by young girls or lit­tle girls;

• princess (45 cm) — har­mo­nious­ly looks with all types of neck­lines and var­i­ous forms of col­lars, both evening and dai­ly dress­es;

• matin (55 cm) — clas­sic uni­sex chain of stan­dard length — slight­ly below the col­lar­bone;

• Opera (70–90 cm) is worn in 2 turns around the neck or below chest lev­el, not reach­ing the waist;

• Rope (112–190 cm) can be worn both in the neck­line of cloth­ing and over it by mak­ing sev­er­al turns of the chain around the neck.

See what kind of jew­el­ry the per­son you want to give the chain has. Pay atten­tion to the usu­al clothes of the per­son for whom the gift is intend­ed. Buy­ing a chok­er or lace around the neck will be inap­pro­pri­ate if a per­son wears knee-highs and shirts with a but­toned col­lar. Also, those who love bright things and mas­sive jew­el­ry will not appre­ci­ate a thin jew­el­ry thread.

A per­son can even express their wish­es aloud. This is the only way to find out about con­ser­v­a­tive pref­er­ences or the desire to exper­i­ment with acces­sories.

If you decide to give a chain along with a pen­dant, keep in mind that it will pull the jew­el­ry down. In this case, choose a short­er length than what you need to wear with­out a pen­dant.
