Tips for Selecting a Length:
Sterling silver chain sizing for Women: Typically, women can wear all sizes. Match jewelry to a look: A shorter silver chain necklace works with lower-cut garments and is good for everyday wear. Wearing long chains (24” -30”) compliments larger sized pendants and is a popular look as they can be worn to create long vertical lines, giving the illusion of added height. Our sterling silver chains for women complete the classic western Hyo Silver style.
Standard Silver Chain Sizes for Women*
16″ – Wraps loosely around the neck
18″ – At collarbone
20″ – A few inches below collarbone
22″ – At or above neckline
