Pearl Necklaces

Length of Pearl Strands
Even with the same necklace length, the appearance can vary depending on the wearer's body type. The important factor is not the actual length of the necklace, but where the top of the necklace sits when worn. Whether you're choosing a necklace for an evening date or for layering with other outfits, the following simple guide will help you make the right choice.

**40-45cm**
Choker necklaces sit closely around the middle of the neck and are suitable for both formal and casual occasions. They are a versatile and popular basic style.

**45-50cm**
The length of a matinee necklace usually falls above the chest and is more suited for casual afternoon attire.

**60-80cm**
Opera-length necklaces fall below the bust line and are often used for very formal occasions. They emphasize vertical lines, giving an elegant impression. They can also be worn as a double-strand necklace.

**120cm**
The length of a rope necklace typically falls around the chest and is more appropriate for casual afternoon wear. It can be styled as a triple-strand necklace or knotted in front for a versatile look.
