The perfect necklace length is individual; however, there are a few ways to figure out which length will suit you best. Use the instructions below to find your new favorite necklace length.
Find Your Choker Size
A choker should sit comfortably around your neck. Find your neck size by using the instructions below, then add 2-4 inches or 5-10 cm to your neck measurement, depending on the desired fit.
You'll need:
- Tape measure or ruler
- String
Option 1:
Use Flexible Tape Measure
Place a flexible tape measure comfortably around your neck to find your neck size. Next, add 2 inches or 5 cm to your neck size to find your choker size.
Option 2:
Use a String
Place a piece of string around the circumference of your neck. Mark where the string ends meet and measure the length. Next, add 2 inches or 5 cm to your neck size to find your perfect choker size.
Measure with string
If you don’t have a necklace to use as reference, you can use a tape measure or a piece of string to determine the perfect length.
You'll need:
- Tape measure or ruler
- String
- Pen or a marker
Option 1:
Use Flexible Tape Measure
Place the flexible tape measure around your neck like a necklace, adjust it to the desired length, and note down the measurement.
Option 2:
Use a String
Place a piece of string around your neck like a necklace, adjust it to the desired length, and mark where the string ends meet with a pen or a marker. Next, measure the string and note the length.
Measure your existing necklace
If you already have a necklace whose length you like, you can measure it to help determine which size to choose. There are two ways to measure a necklace.
You'll need:
- Tape measure or ruler
- A necklace you like
Option 1:
Measure Full Length
Lay the necklace down on a flat surface in a straight line. Measure it from one end of the clasp to the other and note down the length.
Option 2:
Measure When Closed.
With the necklace clasp closed, lay it down on a flat surface and measure its length from end to end. Next, double that measurement and note it down.
