Factors to consider when choosing the necklaces 

Features such as the neck, height, body type, and face shape are essential to determine the right necklace length for the female body. Choosing the right length can pull a normal outfit to a focal point. 

  1. Neck size

Before buying the necklace, you should know your neck size (choker one). You can take a soft inch-tape and wrap it around the choker. Make sure to add two inches more than the measured number. If it comes below 16 inches or near, remember this number for your entire life if you buy a necklace to be worn around the choker or a little below that. Pedants with personalized names or designs fall under 18″, 20″. Short-necked people should avoid chokers, whereas long-neck people have the advantage to acquire them. 

  1. Face shape

Not only are necklaces helpful as an accessory of wear, but they also help you frame your face. It makes your facial features more prominent and changes people’s perception of your face looks.

Women should avoid short necklaces or chokers with round faces since they would enhance the roundness of their faces.

Oval-shaped faces may wear practically any shape, length, or type of necklace to take advantage of any necklace fad.

Shorter necklaces should be worn by those with long faces who desire to expand and soften their features. Necklaces that are short and circular will not increase length. Look for choker and princess necklaces that are 16″ to 18″ long.

Chokers or any short necklaces work well with heart-shaped faces because they give the idea of fullness and balance out a narrow chin.

  1. Height

When choosing the appropriate necklace chain to flatter your body shape, keep in mind your height. Necklace lengths of 16 to 20 inches look best on women under 5’4″. A lengthy necklace can be overwhelming on a petite frame. Necklaces of any length can be worn by women who are 5’4″ to 5’7″ tall. Women with a height of 5’7″ or above can wear any length necklace. Longer chain-style necklaces, which emphasize a tall frame, look best on taller ladies.

Choosing the appropriate jewelry is akin to finding the ideal pair of jeans. It’s crucial to think about what flatters your body shape rather than buying something because it’s trendy.

When it comes to necklaces, keep in mind that people’s eyes will naturally stop when your necklace stops, so avoid necklaces that end there if you don’t want them to. A long thin or layered chain would look fantastic on women with smaller busts. Full-figured women should avoid necklaces below the breast line since they will not hang properly. Instead, go for a necklace that sits somewhat higher on the body, like an 18- to 20-inch necklace.

  1. Body shape

When choosing the appropriate necklace chain to flatter your body shape, keep in mind your height. Necklace lengths of 16 to 20 inches look best on women under 5’4″. A lengthy necklace can be overwhelming on a petite frame. Necklaces of any length can be worn by women who are 5’4″ to 5’7″ tall. Women with a height of 5’7″ or above can wear any length necklace. Longer chain-style necklaces, which emphasize a tall frame, look best on taller ladies.
