Chain Lengths
Last Updated: Jun 30, 2026
Most of the pendants we sell come with either an 18" chain suitable for women or a 20" chain, which is a better length for a man. However, we understand that this is not a case of one size fits all.
If you are unsure of your preferred chain length, you can gauge it with a piece of string or a soft tape measure. Drape the string or tape measure gently around your neck until it falls to the length you find most suitable. Note the measurement and choose from our range of chains in Sterling silver and gold.
There is no right or wrong when it comes to chain or necklace lengths, and a lot will depend on your build and how you intend to wear the piece. There's a post on our blog which can advise on other factors that are worth considering.
As ever, if you have any questions, we are always here to help!
