Frequently Asked Questions
There are 2 standard sizes: Short (15.5-17.5") and Medium (18-20")
Custom lengths also available.
The best way is to determine the length you need is to measure a necklace you already have. Or you can cut a piece of string to the desired length then measure that. The table below offers a guide.
Children's Standard Sizes for Necklaces: 14-16"
Women's Standard Necklace Sizes
| 16" | Choker length | |
| 17-18" | Will reach the collarbone | |
| 20" | A few inches below collarbone | |
| 22" | At or above neckline | |
| 24" | A little Below the neckline | |
| 30" | Below the chest |
What length bracelet do I order? Again the best thing to do is measure. Using a flexible measuring tape, measure just above the wrist bone (where you would wear your watch), then add 1/4" to 1 " (1/2" is average) depending on how tight you like your bracelets to fit. That is the bracelet size. If you don't have a tape measure handy, use a strip of paper or thin string, and mark it where it overlaps on your wrist. Then lay the strip flat to measure up to the mark using any ruler.
Bracelet Guidelines:
Children's Standard Sizes for Bracelet: 5-6"
