Tips for Choosing Best Pearl Necklace Length

Posted by LagunaPearl on August 28th, 2013

When choosing a necklace, it gets difficult to choose the right length that will match your outfit perfectly. Hence, there are some basic guidelines. The normal chain length is 16 to 20 inches, which sits perfectly for women. However, the correct length for you mainly depends on your personal taste. If you are the one who likes to experiment, then you can have a collection of different sizes to match each occasion.

1. The perfect size for you: To find the perfect length for a necklace that sits just above your collarbone, make use of a measuring tape to measure your neck and then add 2 to 4 inches in the same. This will help you choose the perfect length.

2. Measure for a choker: If you desire to have a choker, opt for the standard size, which is basically 16 inches. For a more appropriate fit, measure the exact length of your neck.

3. Standard sizes for children: If you are buying necklaces for children, then 14 to 16 inches is perfect.

4. Matching jewellery for the occasion: It is highly important that the jewellery perfectly matches the occasion or attire. Women should opt for longer with a high neck dress. A shorter chain perfectly matches formal attire such as a dinner dress.

5. Sizing for men: For men, the necklace should sit perfectly at the collarbone when worn with an open shirt collar. If worn with a pendant, the chain needs to be slightly longer. Men's chains normally measure between 18 inches and 20 inches for a perfect fit.

6. Perfect pearl necklace sizing: A formal pearl necklace must not be too long or too small; it should perfectly fit above the collarbone or just below the neckline for that perfect look. On the contrary, long pearl strands are more fashionable option for an informal wear. Pearl necklaces, which are 100 inches long, can be wrapped around the neck three or four times.

7. Go long with beads: It is to be noted that the beaded necklace is one of the most popular types of such a length. Long necklaces are a perfect choice for petite women as the length creates vertical lines, giving the illusion of added height.

These useful tips will help you better choose a pearl necklace that perfectly graces the occasion adding charm and beauty to your appearance.
