Choosing Based on Body Proportions
Petite Frame
Shorter lengths (14"-18") are more proportional and won't overwhelm your frame. Avoid very long necklaces that can make you appear shorter.
Tall Frame
Longer lengths (20"-30") complement your height beautifully. You can carry dramatic opera and rope lengths with elegance.
Shorter Neck
Opt for longer lengths (18"+) to create the illusion of length. Avoid chokers which can make the neck appear shorter.
Longer Neck
Chokers and princess lengths (14"-18") beautifully showcase your neck. You can wear any length with confidence.
Fuller Bust
Matinee and opera lengths (20"-30") create a flattering vertical line. Avoid lengths that end at the bust line.
Layering
Combine different lengths for depth: try 16" + 20" + 24". Keep at least 2-4 inches between each layer for best effect.
