Chain Length Guide
This Chain Length Guide will help you decide which chain length to order.
Choose the perfect necklace chain size for your name necklace.
The length of necklace you decide to order depends on your personal perference, what outfits you want to wear the necklace with, and your height and body size.
You will want the name to lay at the perfect length and position to give yourself the finest look. You might want the necklace to fall at the collar bone, inches below the collarbone, or you may want a longer chain that will lie even lower.
The chain length for our Sterling Silver and Gold Plated collections is available in five sizes:
14 inch chain – Small and rests as a choker on your neck
16 inch chain – Fits perfectly, falling at the base of your neck.
18 inch chain – Falls gracefully around the collarbone.
20 inch chain – Long chain, usually falling below the collarbone
22 inch chain – Very long chain
For 10K, 14K, and 18K solid gold, we offer three standard necklace lengths for the chain: 14, 16 and 18 inches. The 18 inch necklace is the most popular and common length for most women.

Please keep in mind the following when you order the chain style and length:
1. The pendant is not included in the chain length you select. For example, if you order a 16 inch chain, keep in mind that the pendant also has a length of 1-1.5 inches.
2. In many name necklaces, you can get to select between the Twist and Box chain styles. We recommend that you order the twist style for real gold pendants and the box style for gold plate and sterling silver pendants.
3. If you worry that the chain will break easily, please keep in mind that the chain thickness we use for our personalized necklaces is strong enough for the pendant.
4. The clasp for all our real gold pendants is also made with real gold (10 karat or 14 karat). If you order sterling silver or gold plate, the clasp is made of 925 sterling silver.
5. Please keep in mind that larger people will require longer lengths; petite people will need shorter lengths.
6. We recommend you take a few minutes and measure the circumference of your neck before placing your necklace order from our site. This is of absolute importance when you are ordering a choker where we recommend you select a chain length 1 to 2 inches longer than your neck size.
