Use these quick steps to confirm fit and scale for the Adored Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace.
- Neck size: Wrap a soft tape (or string) around the base of your neck where the necklace will sit. Mark and measure the string against a ruler.
- Choose chain length: Decide where you want the pendant to rest, then measure that length from the back of the neck to the desired point and double it for total chain length.
- Measure an existing necklace: Lay it flat and measure end-to-end including the clasp to match the length you like.
- Pendant dimensions: If listed, note height (top to bottom), width (side to side), and the bail opening (to ensure the chain fits).
- Chain thickness: Typical everyday chains range ~1.0–1.5 mm. Check that the bail opening is larger than the chain thickness plus clasp width.
Length guide (approximate on most necks):
- 14 in (35 cm) — choker
- 16 in (40 cm) — sits at base of neck
- 18 in (45 cm) — standard, at collarbone
- 20–22 in (50–55 cm) — just below collarbone
- 24 in+ (60 cm+) — mid chest and lower
