Online you can find many websites and blogs that give detailed guidance
on the proper chain length for you. I
took the following photo from the site of Rio Grande, a jewelry-making equipment, tools
and supplies company. You can get an impression on how chains of different
lengths are placed on the body for men and for women.
As for myself, I refer only to two rules when I
come to select a chain:
·
The chain length should match the shape of the neckline,
and its depth.
·
The chain should match the size of the pendant.
As I understand it you should wear smaller pendants near the neck while large
pendants can be worn with any length of chain.
Over the years, I have purchased four chains of different lengths: 43,
50, 60, 90 centimeters (17.2, 20, 24, 36" ). I use them to wear all of my
pendants. Thus, I wear a particular pendant on chains of different lengths according
to my outfit.
