Sizing Guide - Necklaces

Jewellery Size Guide

Whether you have a clear understanding of the size you’re after or no idea at all – our guide will step you through finding your perfect fit to ensure maximum wear and enjoyment from your Kate & Kole jewellery.

We also offer customisation for most pieces, so don’t hesitate to contact our team with your enquiry.

Necklace Sizing

Choosing your ideal necklace length is a personal style choice. It’s important to note that the lengths portrayed on our models, although fairly accurate, may vary slightly from person to person.

If you already have a necklace at home, you may wish to use that as your guide to finding the right length.

Some of our styles look amazing layered, so keep in mind your desired look and the versatility of the chain length before you buy.

As a Guide

Circumference (cm)
40 Short length, sits just above the collarbone
45 Our most popular choice, sits at the collarbone
50 Longer length, sitting just below the collarbone 

To find the ideal length for your necklace, you can either measure a necklace you already own that rests on your décolletage at your preferred length.

Alternatively, take a piece of string, ribbon, or a soft measuring tape, and gently encircle it around your neck to the desired point where you want the charm or pendant to sit. Then, measure the string or ribbon against a tape measure or ruler to determine your perfect length.

If you're interested in a custom length, we offer both a shortening chain service and a chain lengthening service.

DIY Measuring at Home

Option one: Measure an existing necklace.

Select a necklace you already own whose length you want to replicate. Lay your necklace flat on a ruler or measuring tape (including the clasp), then note down the length in CMs and select the Kate & Kole chain length that is closest to that length.

Option two: Measure around your neck.

If you don’t already own the perfect length chain, then take a piece of string, ribbon, or a soft measuring tape and encircle it around your neck to the desired point where you want the charm or pendant to sit (including the clasp), then measure the string or ribbon against a measuring tape or ruler to determine your perfect length.

FAQ

Does the length include the clasp?

Yes, the chain, including the clasp, is measured from end to end.

Can you do half centimetres?

Yes.

Can a necklace stretch?

Yes, the links can crush and lengthen over time, especially if you sleep in your piece.

Can I select a length other than the lengths available on the website?
Can I change the length of my chain after purchase?

Yes, we offer a chain-lengthening service that can be provided within two weeks of the date of shipment. This chain lengthening service does require your piece to be sent back to us to add this additional length.

Please find more information on how this service works.

Please reach out to us if you require any assistance and our team would be happy to help.

Do you offer chain extenders for necklaces?

Unfortunately, we don’t; we have found that chain extenders are quite heavy compared to the delicate nature of our pieces - this causes the necklace to be frequently adjusted as the chain extended will fall to the front of the neck due to the weight. If you require a longer chain, please reach out – our team are happy to help.
