Questions about necklace lengths

What is the most popular necklace length?
Around 18 inches (princess length). It sits just below the collarbone and suits most necklines and pendants.
Which length is best for a pendant?
16 to 18 inches suits most pendants. Choose 20 to 22 inches if you want the pendant to sit lower or wear it with high necklines.
How do I measure the necklace length I need?
Put a string around your neck, let it fall where you want the necklace to sit, and measure the string. Or measure a necklace you already like from end to end, including the clasp.
Can I wear two necklaces together?
Yes — layer two or three lengths that are at least 2 inches apart, for example 16 and 18 inches.
