Whether you’re buying a necklace or a pendant, the length of the necklace or the chain needs to be carefully considered.

Variation in lengths

If you already have a necklace with a length that is perfect for you, you can use the chart on the right to find out if you are ordering the size that you want by measuring the full length of your necklace. If you don’t have a necklace for reference, you can use the guide on the right to determine the right length that you are looking for by placing a tap measure around your neck like a necklace and adjusting it to your desired length. If you don’t have a tap measure, you can place a string around your neck and adjust it to your desired length. You can then measure the length of the string using a ruler.

Hesitating between two lengths?

If you are hesitating between two lengths, there are some recommendations that you can take into considerations. Longer necklace lengths tend to suit better for people who considers themselves having any of the following traits: tall, oval shaped face, smaller bust size, and relatively shorter neck. Shorter necklace lengths are considered to suit better for people who considers themselves having any of the following traits: short, heart shaped face, oblong shaped face, larger bust size, and longer neck.

Buying the necklace as a gift?

If you are buying the necklace as a gift, ask a close friend or family member if they know the correct length or have a necklace that fits perfectly that can be measured.

Product Care

When you love something, you don't throw it away or replace it. You mend it. We can lovingly renew and restore sterling silver and gold vermeil jewellery - just like my grandparent's mended my clothes for me when I was a child.

Renewing scratches and minor damage: Small scratches, broken posts, missing stones - these can also be easily repaired - so they can last a life time and become heirlooms.

Renewing: Completedworks gold vermeil plating is 3 mircons thick - which should mean the gold will last 2-3 years of regular wear. If it does become worn, we can offer an affordable and hassle-free replating service.
