A necklace changes with its length: close to the neck it frames the face; longer, it follows the neckline of what you wear.
What to consider
- Length: around 40 cm sits at the base of the neck; 45 cm is a common everyday length; 50 cm and longer fall lower.
- Chain: finer chains are delicate; heavier links are more robust.
- Clasp: lobster clasps are secure and easy to use.
