Welcome to Retro Jewellery's Guide to help you when choosing a necklace chain length from the shop.
As everybody is different and has different bustlines and different width necks it is difficult to pinpoint the exact position that your necklace will hang but hopefully this will be a useful guide when choosing which necklace length you fancy.
At the moment it is very fashionable to wear an assortment of chain lengths and layers at the same time so hopefully this guide will help you imagine where your pendants will hang when you are mixing and matching your necklace layers.
If you require a custom length to your necklace, you are welcome to email me at websales@retro-jewellery.co.uk.
