CHOKER NECKLACES are generally between 14 to 16 inches in length, ( 35 to 41 cm long). The 16-inch choker necklace is a very popular length. It is flattering to most women and sits directly against the clavicle.
PRINCESS NECKLACES are generally around 18 inches ( 46 cm long). They are longer than chokers necklaces but shorter than matinee necklaces. The princess necklace is thought to be a universally flattering style with any pendant or focal point sitting just below the collar bone.
MATINEE NECKLACES. The average length of a matinee necklace is 22 inches (56 cm) sitting below the collar bone, and just above or to the centre of the bust. This necklace can be worn by itself or layered with other shorter-style necklaces. Matinee necklaces work well with high necklines.
OPERA NECKLACES are generally between 28 to 36 inches (71 to 91 cm). They fall just below the bust and above the waist. They are versatile items as they can be looped around the neck twice to work as a choker if desired.
ROPE NECKLACES are generally 36 inches (91 cm) in length or longer. They can be wrapped around to sit on or just below the centre of the chest.
