The Number You See

How We Measure

Chain measured clasp to clasp, laid flat end to end

When we list a length — say 18″ — we mean the full length from one clasp to the other, measured end to end with the chain laid flat. It is not just the front drop.

We measure every piece this way, so the length you see is exactly what you’ll receive – and you can verify it at home by laying the chain flat and measuring from end to end.

As all our pieces are handmade, please allow for a slight variance of about ½″ (1 cm) in the finished length – this is a natural characteristic of handcrafted jewelry.

One Minute

Measure at Home

Three steps: grab a string, wrap your neck, mark and measure
1

Grab a string

Use a piece of string, floss, or a soft tape measure. A ruler works too.

2

Wrap your neck

Drape it where you want the chain to sit — at the collarbone for a classic fit.

3

Mark & measure

Mark the overlap, lay it flat against a ruler. That number is your length in inches.

The Styling Trick

Layered, Not Lonely

Layered necklaces at Choker, 16, 20, and 24 inches
Choker

Closest to the neck — sits high, confident, modern.

16″

Base layer — right at the collarbone, everyday wear.

20″

Middle layer — upper chest, relaxed drape.

24″

Longest layer — mid chest, lets a pendant hang free.
