a scooped neckline but it may not suit for a turtleneck sweater. Necklaces that
are too short may not fit at all. Just view the below mentioned chart to have

For men, the chain should sit at the collarbone when it is
worn with an open shirt collar. If worn with a pendant or medallion, the chain
should be slightly longer. Men's chains generally measure between 18 inches and
20 inches in length for a necklace that will lie at the collarbone and its sold
higher volume as per the reports.
Necklace is an important accessory for any women. When
selecting and investing in a new necklace - especially an expensive one - you
should consider how the length of that necklace will look on your body. Measure
your neck before purchasing any necklace, but it is especially important to
measure your neck before purchasing a collar or choker, as it is designed for a
tighter fit. The most important body features to consider when selecting a
necklace are your neck, your height, your body type, and your face shape.
All things considered, only you can really decide if that
cool necklace that may not be the perfect length might actually be the perfect
necklace for you.
