Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Cross Lettering Cable Chain Necklace

Necklace lengths
The perfect necklace length is subjective. The sketch is of a 6'2", medium-build model with a 14 1/2” (37 cm) neck. For most men, a 19 3/4” (50 cm) necklace is standard. But men aren’t ‘standard’.

It is up to you how low you want a necklace to fall, and that depends on the thickness of your neck, shape of your shoulders, and your height.

Find my necklace size

• Put a long piece of string behind your neck.
• Bring the ends together in front of your chest.
• Mark the string where you want the pendant to fall.

This will be where the top of the pendant falls. A chain will fall higher as it won’t be weighed down by a pendant. Now measure the distance between the marks to find your length.

You can also find your necklace size using a measuring tape in front of a mirror.

Measure your necklace
If you already have a necklace you like, lay it in a straight line and measure its full length, including clasp and ring to determine your size.
