Chain Selection Guide
16”
Choker | Collar Length
Although rarely offered in a retail setting, this length will rest about an inch higher than the standard, princess length.
On an average adult, this length will sit close to the neck, allowing petite pieces to layer above another, longer style.
Petite collectors may favor this length for increased visibility of their pieces.

18”
Standard | Princess Length
The ‘standard’ length of most chains paired with pendants in a retail setting.
On the average adult, this length will fall just below a standard t-shirt collar.
Petite collectors may feel this length falls lower, while larger collectors may find this length somewhat restricting.

20”
Matinée Length
This length will fall roughly an inch lower than the standard, princess length.
On an average adult, this length will rest just atop the bust, making it perfect for layering below the collar or princess lengths.
This length is often preferred by taller or larger collectors. Those who find the standard princess length does not fall nicely below their collared tops may also enjoy this option.

Matinée Length | Adjustable
Ideal for layering, this option falls up to 3 inches lower than the standard princess length, and can be freely adjusted to suit any look.
Average adults will find this rests well between the bust.
Very dramatic when worn over a high collared top or paired with a deep, plunging neckline.

Opera Length | Adjustable
Our longest option, falling up to 6 inches lower than the standard princess length. This style is also freely adjustable and can be worn normally or doubled.
Most collectors will find this length drapes well past the bust, and affords a dramatic movement to larger pieces.
Petite collectors may find doubling this length creates a bold, choker style with smaller pendants.

Layering & Styling Concepts
Every collector can benefit from a variety of chain lengths. From a single, statement piece, to intricate layers, when paired with the right chains, the styling options for any look are endless.
Many pieces in the collection are offered with a choice of chain length and metal type, or as a standalone selection. This offers the collector freedom to build an array of chain options from which to build any look, or employ further customization using ribbon, leather, or strands of pearls.
