Necklace Size Guide
The size of a necklace is calculated on the basis of its length, i.e. what it measures from one end to the other extended.
Many necklaces are adjustable, so you can adjust the size to your liking by taking into account the minimum and maximum length specified in the product description.
If the necklace has a bead, its size is not included in the minimum and maximum size.
How to Measure Your Necklace
- Measure a necklace you own from one end of the clasp to the other, laid flat on a surface.
- Or place a piece of tape around your neck, tighten it to the desired fit, and note the measurement.
