What size chain should I choose for my pendant?

Pendants and Chain Length

Pendants can range in size from delicate to quite large. Dramatic pendants will take up significant space on the wearer's chest. When planning a necklace pendant, factor in the size of the pendant accent piece. If you are trying to create a choker like bead necklace or pendant, you will want to keep your length at about 16 inches. For a necklace or pendant that should dangle at the collarbone, lengthen up to 17 or 18 inches. For below the collarbone, a great location for a dramatic pendant, your chain or necklace should measure about 20 inches. A 22 inch chain or necklace will land at your neckline, depending on your shirt or top and a 24inch chain or necklace will run below the neckline.
