Chain Size Guide – Find your perfect length
The right chain length decides how a chain falls and how it looks with your outfit. A well chosen length gives a luxury look and comfortable wear.
Step 1: decide the length you want
Option 1: use the photo guide below and find your length.
- Look at the image to see how different chain lengths fall
- Compare that with where you want the chain to sit on your chest
- This is the easiest way to pick the right length
Option 2: measure a chain you already own
- Take a chain that fits you well
- Lay it flat and straight on a table
- Measure the full length in centimeters
Option 3: measure on your body
- Use a tape measure or a piece of string
- Hold it around your neck at the height you want
- Measure the length in centimeters
Step 2: choose your chain length
Use the table below as a guide:
Length, how it falls
45 cm (18in): high on the neck, choker style
50 cm (20in): just below the neck
55 cm (22in): top of the chest, most popular
60 cm (24in): mid chest
65 cm (26in): below the chest, statement look
Which length suits you best?
50 cm: a subtle, minimal look
55 cm: our best selling length, right for everyday wear
60 cm: bolder, and popular for Cuban link chains
65 cm: oversized, statement style
Fit advice
55 cm is the best all round length for men
60 cm gives a bolder streetwear look
Shorter chains read as more subtle and elegant
Longer chains stand out more and suit iced out chains
