Determine the Length You Want
There is no one-size-fits-all answer, as it depends on your personal style and preference. However, there are some general guidelines to consider. A shorter necklace, around 16-18 inches, will sit above the collarbone and is perfect for showcasing a pendant. A longer necklace, around 22-24 inches, will hang below the collarbone and can be layered with shorter chains.Â
