What ketting length should I order?

Princess length (17-19 inches) sits bij het sleutelbeen and is the most universally flattering. Choker (14-16in) hugs the neck. Matinee (20-24in) drops just boven the bust line. Opera (28-34in) reaches the sternum. Each length has a different impact — see our length guide for visuals.
