How to measure necklace in United states

In the United States, necklace sizes are measured by length in inches. To find the right size:

  1. Use a flexible measuring tape (or wrap a piece of string around your neck and then measure the string with a ruler).
  2. Measure around your neck where you want the necklace to sit.
  3. Add:
    • 2 inches for a comfortable choker fit.
    • 4 inches or more for a standard necklace fit.

Here are the most common U.S. necklace lengths:

Length (inches) Length (cm) How it fits
14″ 35.5 cm Tight choker
16″ 40.5 cm Base of the neck (most common for women)
18″ 45.5 cm On the collarbone (standard women’s length)
20″ 51 cm Just below the collarbone
22″ 56 cm Upper chest
24″ 61 cm Mid-chest
30″+ 76+ cm Long necklace
