Chain Lenght Guide
Chain Length Guide
Choosing the right chain length is about more than just numbers. The same chain can look completely different from person to person, depending on height, body proportions, neck size and personal style.
That’s why Aurora doesn’t recommend one “perfect” chain length. Instead, the best choice is the one that creates the look you love.
How chain length affects the look
As a general guide:
• 40 cm / 16” — Choker length
• 45 cm / 18” — Collarbone length
• 50 cm / 20” — Upper chest
• 60 cm / 24” — Mid chest
• 70 cm / 28” — Lower chest
The illustration above shows how the same chain lengths may appear differently on different body types. Use it as a visual guide rather than a fixed rule.
Wearing pendants
If you plan to wear a pendant, remember that it will make the necklace appear slightly longer. The size and weight of the pendant will also influence where it sits.
Choosing the right chain
Every Aurora chain is one of a kind, so lengths vary from piece to piece.
Each product page clearly states the chain length, making it easy to compare with necklaces you already own and enjoy wearing. A simple way to estimate your ideal length is to measure a favourite necklace from your own collection and compare it with the measurements listed on the Aurora product page.
Some chains finish with an open end link near the clasp. In many cases, this allows the clasp to fasten onto an earlier link, making the chain shorter without any permanent alterations.
