Tips for Choosing the Right Necklace Length:
- Face Shape: Shorter necklaces (chokers, collars) can accentuate a longer face, while longer necklaces (matinee, opera) can elongate round faces.
- Neck Size: Measure your neck with a soft measuring tape to find a comfortable fit for chokers and shorter styles.
- Layering: Combine different lengths to create a layered, trendy look. Mix shorter and longer necklaces for a unique style.
