What’s the best necklace length for layering?

The best lengths for layering are 40 cm, 45 cm, and 60 cm. Start short, then add longer chains for a tiered look. Try mixing textures like a twisted rope chain at 40 cm, a paperclip chain at 45 cm, and a bold statement piece at 60 cm for depth and movement.

How do I choose the right chain length?

Start with where you want the chain to fall—just above the collarbone (40–45 cm), on the chest (50–60 cm), or lower. Consider your neck size, face shape, neckline, and layering preferences. Our interactive guide makes it easy to visualise before you shop.

Is 45 cm a good everyday necklace?

Yes, 45 cm is the most popular everyday necklace length. It usually rests at the collarbone and suits nearly every neckline. It’s perfect alone or as a base for layering.

What necklace length is most flattering?

For most people, 45 cm flatters the collarbone, while 50–60 cm adds drama. Shorter lengths like 35–40 cm look great with open necklines. Try longer chains for layering or accentuating a V-neck or plunging style.

What size necklace should I buy as a gift?

Go for 45 cm if you’re unsure—it’s the safest, most flattering length for everyday wear. If the recipient prefers layering, add a 60 or 70 cm chain for variety. For men, 50–60 cm is often ideal.
