Extender Chains

Many of our necklaces come with a 2-inch extender chain, giving you flexibility to wear them at two lengths. For example, an 18" necklace with a 2" extender can also be worn at 20". This is a great option if you're between lengths or like to switch up your styling.

Tips for Choosing Your Length

  • For layering: Choose necklaces at least 2" apart in length so each piece has room to shine. A popular combo from our collection: 16" + 20" + 24".
  • For a statement piece: Go longer (22"–28") and wear it solo.
  • For everyday wear: 18"–20" is the sweet spot — versatile, comfortable, and flattering.
  • Neckline matters: Scoop or crew necks pair well with longer lengths; V-necks and off-shoulders look great with shorter, closer-fitting pieces.
