Nck-length
Elana's Advice: "A great tip I learned while working with fashion editors for shoots was that the most stylish length of necklace for a woman is atleast two sizes above her actual neck measurement. Use a measuring tape to find how many inches around your neck is, then add two to four inches to that."
16 inches: Choker length, this length highlights the neckline and works well on petite women. This also tends to be a more "formal" look.
18 inches: Sits at the Collarbone. This is the most common length because of its versatility. It tends to work well with many types of necklines.
20 inches: Sits a few inches below the collarbone. This style tends to bring the focus toward the chest.
22 inches: At or above the neckline.
24 inches: Below the neckline.
30 inches and more: The Rope length is very popular because it allows many elegant looks. The strand can be double or triple wrapped around the neck depending on its length, or worn as a sexy, long, draping strand. This length can also be wrapped to wear as a bracelet.
