Choosing your chain length

Chain length can change the way your jewellery sits and looks when worn. From shorter lengths that sit closer to the collarbone to longer chains that fall further down the chest, our chains are available in a range of lengths from 16" to 30".

16" Chain

A 16" chain is one of our shorter options and sits close to the base of the neck. It’s a lovely choice if you prefer your jewellery to sit neatly around the collarbone.

18" Chain

Our 18" chain is a popular everyday length. It sits slightly lower than a 16" chain and is a versatile choice for wearing your jewellery on its own.

20" Chain

A 20" chain gives your jewellery a little more drop, sitting below the collarbone. It’s a great option if you prefer your necklace to sit slightly lower.

22"-24" Chains

These mid-length options sit further down the chest and can be particularly lovely for larger pendants or if you prefer a longer necklace.

26"-30" Chains

Our longer chain lengths offer a more relaxed look, allowing your jewellery to sit further down the chest. They’re a great choice if you prefer your necklace to have more length or want to layer it with shorter chains.
