Choosing Necklace Length

If you are not sure what length of necklace to purchase, this guide should help. The most common length for a pearl necklace is 18", followed by 16".

If you are not sure what length the person for whom you are buying the pearls would like, you might try measuring a necklace or two that they already own.

Also remember that a pearl necklace or bracelet will fit a little bit tighter than the same length in a gold chain. This is due to the pearls pushing the center of the strand away from the neck or wrist. This is noticed mostly with bracelets, whereas the difference in fit of a pearl necklace as opposed to a gold chain necklace is very slight.

• 10-14-inch Pearl Necklaces:
These short pearl necklace lengths are appropriate for extremely petite adults and/or children, wrapping close around the neckline.

• 16-inch Pearl Necklaces:
This is the more traditional “choker” pearl necklace length for adults. This pearl choker wraps closely around the neckline above the breastbone, ensuring the necklace is clearly visible regardless of the type of clothing worn.
• 18-inch Pearl Necklaces:
This is the most popular length for pearl necklaces and is referred to as the “Princess Length”. It does not hug the neckline quite so closely, allowing the pearls to rest gently upon the breastbone.
• 20 to 24-inch Pearl Necklaces:
These pearl necklace lengths are often referred to as “Matinee” lengths and will rest comfortably along the bust line.
20" 22" 24"
• 28-36” Pearl Necklaces:
These pearl necklace lengths are often referred to as “Opera” lengths and can be worn below the bust line or as a double strand necklace.
