Chain Sizing
Chain length is something that doesn’t really seem that important until you almost choke yourself out with a 40cm necklace.Â
As a general rule of thumb, keep in mind that the thickness of your neck will make a big difference on how tight a chain fits. Something that strangles me might fit quite nice on a slimmer neck.
Â
As a default option, I’d recommend a 50cm necklace. 50cm is the most common length of necklace for men, and a slightly longer pick for women. They tend to sit up pretty high on the chest without being too tight. For men with thicker necks I would advise not going any shorter than a 50cm chain. (Slate necklace pictured, 50cm.)
Depending on your neck size, 40-45cm may be way too tight for you and fit like a choker. Here’s a 40cm chain on my neck (way too tight) and a 45cm chain on a girl’s neck (about right). This length is generally not worn with pendants, and may end up flipping above and below the collar of a T-shirt. (Ashen necklace pictured).
60cm is generally gonna hang pretty low on anyone. Here’s how it looks on my neck:Â
60cm works great for wearing over a couple layers of clothing. It’s a good pick for the winter months. It’ll generally hang around a few inches below your collar-bone, or under the second button on a button up shirt. 60cm is a great pick to hang a pendant from.   
I don’t have any photos of a 70cm on the neck yet, but it’s long. Unless you’re a professional wrestler and have a huge neck it’s probably gonna hang down to the bottom of your sternum. Here’s some diagrams of even longer lengths to give you an idea of the appearance. This style is primarily worn over a shirt, and can be complimented nicely with a pendant.Â
