This gives you an exact reference when choosing a new chain.<\/p>\n<h3>Measure with a string or measuring tape around your neck<\/h3>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have an existing necklace, take a thin strip of paper, a piece of string, or a soft measuring tape and wrap it around your neck where you want the chain to sit. Mark where the ends meet, lay it out flat, and measure it with a ruler in centimeters. That\u2019s the approximate length you should choose.<\/p>\n<h3>Think about where you want the necklace to sit<\/h3>\n<p>Different lengths create different looks depending on style, neckline, and occasion. Common lengths usually fall around the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Short \/ choker (approx. 35\u201340 cm): sits high on the neck, close to the neck.<\/li>\n<li>Classic \/ collarbone length (approx. 40\u201345 cm): the most common length, perfect for pendants.<\/li>\n<li>Slightly longer (approx. 50\u201360 cm): falls just below the collarbone and creates a softer look.<\/li>\n<li>Long chain (approx. 70\u201390 cm): perfect as a statement piece or worn over sweaters and higher necklines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-579071138 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1297325280 {\n  padding-top: 90px;\n  padding-bottom: 90px;\n  background-color: rgb(249, 247, 248);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_433690413\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row align-center\"  id=\"row-1246802685\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-152027992\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2>Chain thickness: what to consider<\/h2>\n<p>Besides length, the thickness of the chain makes a big difference to both comfort and overall look:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row row-large align-center\"  id=\"row-151864037\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-390139540\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3>1,1 mm chain<\/h3>\n<p>Our thinnest standard chain.
