There are a variety of things to consider when selecting the proper size necklace

Your neckline and your style

One of the primary factors to think about when selecting length of necklace is the neckline of the dress or top you’d like to add a necklace. A necklace that’s too long may cause your chest to appear bigger if you have a low neckline.

Length of frame and body

Your general frame, including the length of your body is also a significant factor to which necklace sizes will best suit your needs. For example, if you’re small with a small frame, necklaces that are long and dangly tend to hang a bit too low. On the other hand, for those who are taller, these may be a good way to lengthen your body.

Most of the time, people who are petite prefer shorter lengths of necklaces because this is a good fit for the necklines of their clothing more, for instance an earring would be a great choice.

Face shape
