How to Measure Your Necklace

Use these simple methods to pick the right length and width for your Chain Stainless Steel Necklace.

1. Measure your neck: wrap a soft measuring tape (or a string) around the base of your neck where a chain would sit. Mark the spot and measure the string against a ruler.
2. Choose your length:
   • Choker: 36–40 cm (14–16 in)
   • Classic/Collarbone: 45 cm (18 in)
   • Below collarbone: 50 cm (20 in)
   • Longer/Layering: 55–60 cm (22–24 in)
   • Tip: For the same visual fit, add ~5 cm (2 in) if your neck is fuller.
3. Check chain width (thickness): place the chain flat and measure across in millimeters.
   • 1–2 mm: delicate
   • 3–4 mm: everyday
   • 5–7 mm: bold
   • 8+ mm: statement
4. Pendants and extenders: a pendant adds ~2–3 cm (0.75–1.25 in) of visual drop; extenders commonly add 5 cm (2 in).
5. Test the look: loop your measured string to the chosen length and try it on to preview where the chain will sit.

Materials & Quality

This piece is crafted from jewelry‑grade stainless steel, chosen for its durability, luster, and low maintenance.

• Common grades for jewelry: 316L (often called surgical grade) and 304 stainless steel.
• Corrosion resistance: chromium in the alloy forms a protective layer that helps resist rust and tarnish.
• Skin friendly: many people with sensitive skin tolerate 316L well; if you have severe nickel sensitivity, consider a patch test.
• Color stability: stainless steel maintains its finish better than soft precious metals during daily wear.
• Finish and color: natural silver tone is unplated steel; gold/black tones are typically achieved with durable PVD/IP coatings.
• Magnetism: may be non‑magnetic or mildly magnetic depending on the specific grade and finishing.

Result: a bright, modern shine that’s resistant to sweat, humidity, and everyday life with minimal upkeep.

Model Fit Guide

Use this reference to match the on‑you look to common chain lengths.

• On a 33 cm (13 in) neck: 40 cm (16 in) sits at the base of the neck; 45 cm (18 in) at the collarbone; 50 cm (20 in) just below.
• On a 38 cm (15 in) neck: add ~5 cm (2 in) for a similar fit (e.g., 50 cm lands near collarbone).
• Men’s average neck 41–43 cm (16–17 in): 50 cm (20 in) high chest; 55 cm (22 in) mid‑chest; 60 cm (24 in) lower chest.
• Thicker chains sit slightly shorter visually than thin chains of the same length.

Most studio photos use 45 cm (18 in) for women and 50–55 cm (20–22 in) for men to show a classic fit.

Care Guide (keep it lovely longer)

• After wear: wipe with a soft, lint‑free cloth to remove oils, sweat, and sunscreen.
• Clean: wash occasionally with mild soap and lukewarm water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Avoid: bleach, chlorine (pools/hot tubs), harsh household cleaners, and abrasive pads.
• If plated (gold/black): remove for intense workouts and avoid friction against rough fabrics to protect the coating.
• Store: keep dry in a pouch or compartment, clasp fastened to prevent tangling and scratches.
• Fragrance first: apply perfumes and lotions, allow to absorb, then put on your necklace.
• Travel tip: place in a small bag or wrap in a soft cloth to avoid scuffs.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo over a tee or with a crisp shirt for clean, modern shine.
• Layering: combine 40/45/50/55 cm lengths and mix slim with medium widths for depth.
• Mix or match metals: keep one tone for a sleek look, or mix steel with gold accents for contrast.
• Pendant ready: pair a 45–50 cm chain with a small charm; ensure the bail fits your chain width.
• Neckline pairing: V‑necks flatter with 45–50 cm; high necks and hoodies work well with 55–60 cm.
• Finish the set: echo the texture with a stainless bracelet or watch for a cohesive look.
