Often the best way to decide on the ideal necklace length is to measure a chain from something already owned that you like. It's important to include any clasps ends and tags in your measurements as well.

You may want to consider the pendant size too. Small pendants lend themselves to shorter chains up to about 24 inches in length. Larger pendants (like terrariums for example) should really sit below the sternum at about 24 inches or longer. There are no rules though, so please choose what's best for you!
