Guide to Choosing the Perfect Necklace and Chain Size for Women and Men
Necklaces and chains are jewelry pieces that add a touch of elegance and style to any outfit. It is essential to choose the right size to ensure a comfortable and ideal fit for you. Below, we provide a detailed guide on necklace measurements for women and men.
For Women:
Chain Lengths:
- Choker Necklace: This type of necklace fits snugly around the neck and is ideal for highlighting the neckline. It usually measures between (35-40 cm) in length.
- Princess Necklace: It is a necklace that falls just above the collarbone and is one of the most versatile styles. Its length usually ranges between (40-45 cm).
- Matinee Necklace: This type of necklace is a little longer than the princess necklace and usually measures between (50-60 cm). It sits on the neckline and is perfect for wearing with V-necklines or open collars.
- Opera Necklace: It is a long necklace that falls below the neckline and usually measures between (70-90 cm). It is ideal for formal occasions and to add a touch of elegance to any outfit.
- Rope Necklace: It is the longest and most versatile necklace, with a length of over (90 cm). It can be worn in a variety of ways, such as folded in layers or as a single long loop.
Pendant Size:
- When choosing a necklace with a charm or pendant, it's important to consider the size of the pendant in relation to the length of the necklace. Larger charms may stand out better on longer necklaces, while shorter necklaces are often ideal for smaller, more delicate charms or pendants.
For Men:
We also offer a variety of standard sizes designed to fit perfectly:
- Thin Neck (45 cm): Subtle and elegant, ideal for highlighting a refined style.
- Clavicle (50 cm): The most common option, suitable for most men.
- Below the Collarbone (55 cm): For those looking for an extra touch of distinction.
- On the Sternum (60 cm): A bolder style that is sure to impress.
- At Sissai, if we don't have the ideal size for you, we offer you the option of adjusting the length of the necklaces or chains according to your preference. This is especially useful to guarantee a perfect and comfortable fit.
