How to Measure Neck Size?

While determining which necklace length will work best for you, neck size is one of the most important factors. Follow the steps as given below

· Wrap a soft tape measure around your neck, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor.

· In order to prevent the chain from sitting too snugly around your neck, add 2 to 4 inches to your neck measurement.

· If you are measuring for choker necklace, then you can stick with your exact neck measurement and don’t add any excess length.

Know Your Height

In addition to neck size, your height is also an important factor as it can change the position of a necklace around your neck. Long necklaces can overwhelm shorter women and short necklaces can get lost on taller women.

· If your height is above 5 feet (1.5 m) 7 inches (170 cm) go for long opera or lariat necklace

· If your height is somewhere between 5’4 to 5’7, any length of necklace should work well.

· If you are under 5’4 then opting choker, collar or princess necklace is the best idea.
