Yellow gold Round Cut Diamond By The Yard Necklace

Chain lengths

Chain length is measured end to end with the clasp closed, and it decides where the necklace settles on you.

14" Choker — Sits close around the base of the neck. Wear it on its own, with an open or scooped neckline.

16" Collarbone — Rests on the collarbone itself. The shortest length that still layers, and an easy first necklace.

18" Just below the collarbone — Falls an inch or two lower and suits most necklines. The length most pendants are made for.

20" Neckline — Sits at the top of a shirt or a jumper. Long enough to read clearly over knitwear.

22" Mid-chest — Reaches the middle of the chest. Wear it long, or double a fine chain for a two-strand look.

Measure a chain you already wear rather than your neck, and add an inch or two if you plan to layer.
