Chain size guide

How each length sits

Measured for an average adult build. Layering or a larger frame shifts the chain about one size up.

Chain length guide showing how different chain lengths sit

16" Base of neck Snug, choker-style
18" Collarbone Sits high and fitted
20" Just below collarbone Most popular daily wear
22" Below collarbone Over a crew neck
24" Top of chest Statement layering

Choosing your chain length

For a classic everyday look, 18"–20" is the most versatile range. These lengths sit around the collarbone and work well with both casual and dressed-up outfits. Choose 22"–24" for a more relaxed look or if you plan to wear the chain over a crew-neck shirt.

Longer lengths from 26"–30" create a stronger statement and are especially suited to larger pendants, oversized clothing, or layered chain styles.

Everyday wear 18"–20" is a versatile choice for most outfits.
Layering Combine different lengths for a balanced layered look.
Statement style 24" and longer creates a more noticeable drop.

Choosing your chain width

If you prefer a subtle, understated look, 2mm–4mm is a great starting point. For a noticeable everyday chain, 6mm–8mm provides more definition while remaining versatile.

For a bold statement piece, 12mm–16mm offers significantly more visual presence and works particularly well with larger pendants and streetwear-inspired styles.
