Necklace Size Calculation
- Hold a flexible measuring tape, a piece of long string or ribbon around your neck joining both ends at the point where you want your necklace to rest.
- If you would like to wear a pendant on that chain, then do consider the additional pendant length when considering the endpoint of the chain.
Note the length in centimeters or inches (use a ruler to measure the string/ribbon).

| 24 | 60.96 | This size gracefully hangs below any neckline, offering versatility in styling. |
