Measure Carefully
Measure your wrist for a bracelet, or use a soft measuring tape to preview where a necklace length will rest.
Angelica Jewellery Guide
Find Your Perfect Length & Fit
The right length transforms how jewellery looks and feels. Use this guide to choose your ideal necklace placement and a secure, comfortable bracelet fit.
Choose Your Fit
Decide whether you prefer a snug, comfortable or relaxed bracelet and where you want your chain to sit.
Confirm the Length
Check your measurement against the guide. If you fall between bracelet sizes, select the larger length.
For the Most Accurate Result
Measure twice without pulling the tape tightly. Bracelet width,
chain thickness, clasp style and personal preference can
influence the final fit.

Wrist Sizing
Bracelet Fit Guide
Measure your wrist, then choose the amount of movement you prefer.
| Preferred Fit | Add to Wrist | Centimetres | How It Wears |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snug | 0.25 in | 0.6 cm | Close to the wrist |
| Comfortable | 0.50 in | 1.3 cm | Natural everyday movement |
| Relaxed | 0.75 in | 1.9 cm | Looser drape |
For thicker or rigid links, choose the next available length for additional comfort.
Necklace Lengths
Where Each Chain Length Rests
Placement varies slightly with height, neck circumference, body shape and pendant weight.
| Length | Centimetres | Typical Placement | Style Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 in | 40.6 cm | Base of the neck | Close, refined fit |
| 18 in | 45.7 cm | Collarbone | Classic everyday length |
| 20 in | 50.8 cm | Below the collarbone | Relaxed and versatile |
| 22 in | 55.9 cm | Upper chest | Ideal for larger links |
| 24 in | 61.0 cm | Mid-chest | Statement length |
| 26 in | 66.0 cm | Lower chest | Long, relaxed drape |
| 30 in | 76.2 cm | Extended chest | Bold layering length |
These placements are approximate and should be used as a visual reference.
Bracelet Considerations
Details That Influence Fit
- Wide, thick or rigid bracelets usually require additional room.
- Tennis bracelets should move naturally without turning excessively.
- Measure directly below the wrist bone without pulling too tightly.
- If between sizes, choose the larger length.
Necklace Considerations
Choose a Length for Your Style
- Thicker chains can appear shorter because they sit farther from the neck.
- A pendant changes where the lowest point rests.
- Layered chains look best with spacing between lengths.
- Adjust the guide for your preferred drape.
