Understanding Chain Lengths – The Mini Guide

Choosing the right chain length makes all the difference for comfort and style.

πŸ“ Standard lengths:
β€’ 14–16" (35–40cm): Choker or child size – sits high on the neck.
β€’ 18" (45cm): Classic everyday length – just below the collarbone.
β€’ 20–22" (50–55cm): Great for pendants or men’s styles.
β€’ 24"+ (60cm+): Statement or layering length.

Tips:
β€’ For men, 20–22" is usually perfect.
β€’ For children, 14–16" is comfortable and safe.
β€’ When gifting, 18" is the safest all-rounder.

Maker tip: Keep one of each size on-hand so you can show the difference in photos.
