Here is a visual guide and a few tips to help you choose the right chain for you. 

First, let's look at length, with a few things to keep in mind. 

• The most common chain length for women is 18 inches 
• Those who want something to sit right below the collarbone may find 16 inch chains the perfect length 
• Men tend to choose chain lengths between 20 and 24 inches
• Differences in torso length and neck circumference will affect where the chain falls on you.  

We are happy to make chain adjustments to our products so that you have the perfect length for your new necklace. Keep in mind that adding length is adding to the cost of gold or silver, we'll happily give you a quote per inch of additional material. 

Another option available is to add an extender to an existing chain so that the necklace can be worn at different lengths. For example, a 16'' chain might have a jump ring at 16'', two inches of chain and another jump ring so that it could also be worn at 18''. We love the flexibility this offers for coordinating your jewelry with activity and attire.  

Regarding Chain Width: 

We most often use chains between 1mm and 2mm, for permanent jewelry we prefer to use 1mm or above for strength and durability.
