How to Measure Your Neck for a Necklace

Finding the perfect necklace fit can elevate your style and comfort, whether you’re selecting a casual piece or a special day collar. Here’s a step-by-step guide to accurately measure your neck so your necklace sits exactly where you want it.

1. Gather What You Need

To measure your neck, you’ll need:

• A soft, flexible measuring tape (fabric tape works best)
• A mirror (optional, but helpful for seeing the fit)
• A string and ruler if you don’t have a measuring tape

2. Find Your Neck Measurement

1. Wrap the measuring tape snugly around your neck, right at the base. This is typically right above your collarbone. Make sure the tape sits comfortably, without pulling too tight.
2. Record the measurement where the tape meets. This number is your neck’s circumference.

If you’re using a string:

1. Wrap the string around your neck in the same spot.
2. Mark where the end meets.
3. Lay the string flat against a ruler to measure the length.

3. Add Length for Desired Necklace Fit

Use your neck measurement as a starting point, then add length to determine where you’d like the necklace to sit:

• Choker Fit: Add 1-2 inches to your neck measurement for a close, comfortable fit.
• Standard Collar Fit: For day collars and discreet pieces, add about 2-3 inches to your neck measurement.
• Pendant or Lariat Style: Adding 3-5 inches or more will create a looser, longer style that falls at your collarbone or lower.
