Which chain length should I buy to go with my pendant?

What length chain should I choose?

If the neckline of your dress or top limits you to a certain chain length that’s A-OK!,

But if you want to wear a pendant with a low V-neck or over a high neck, set the focal point to sit at the most flattering length for your face shape using this really simple tip from the fabulous Stefania

Firstly, measure the height of your face from your hairline to your chin … Then measure the same height down from your chin - this is your perfect placement for a pendant.

Now, holding the end of a piece of string at this point on your chest, wrap the string around the back of your neck and bring it down so it meets at that perfect point - how long is that section of string? It’s likely to be somewhere between 18 and 24 inches long, this measurement will be your most flattering chain length for a pendant.

… Simple!

If you’re buying a bespoke necklace, why not order a chain with multiple jump rings at various points, like this one, so you can wear your pendant at your perfect length and at alternate lengths to suit any outfit!
