How to measure necklace chain length
Be aware of your neck size for purchasing Choker.
I am going to write about very important topic before making your jewelry purchase at Shokoro. This topic was came up from the experience which I had at Etsy Store, Shokoro Design last year. I have received a message from the customer who bought 14" and 15" Necklace which is Collar/Choker size. The Necklace did not fit them because too short. I had a same case twice last year.
I recommend one of the customers to purchase an extender chain. I offered discount price for her so that she feel better and I wanted her happy with the purchase. The other customer purchased for his wife but He has decided to give to his daughter. I hope that his daughter loves it.

Necklace Length Guide at Shokoro
At Etsy and my own website, Lists of necklace have this picture as a necklace Length guide so that I could lead my customer to pick right length for their purchase. This chart shows Necklace Length in Inch/Centimetre and the Placement for each length. This is very basic chart and I highly recommend to measure your neck around first. If your neck size is bigger than 14" you need to add an inch or more for your choker/collar size. You could use a string or your own necklace to compare to this chart.
Necklace length guide cm and inch
How Necklace is measured
14 inch / 36cm: Collar
This Necklace length is designed for tight look and we highly recommend to measure around your necklace before your jewelry purchase. This is must to do for this length so that You do not need to return the collar
16 inch necklace length / 41cm: Choker
This is very popular length of necklace called Choker, Yes! Most of Women know it and Again You need to measure around your neck carefully for this long. 15 in necklace length could be choker size for some people. could be 14 inch like me
18" / 46cm: Princess
Actually, This is the most popular length for necklace at Shokoro and our Etsy Store: Shokoro Design. ( 17 in is next popular size ). I love to wear 16in or 17in because I have very thin neck. It is depends on tops but These longs are perfect on my neck to show pretty charm.
20 in / 51cm: Matinee
This length called Matinee which is ideal size on wide opened outfits. It is good to have one for casual party.
24in / 61cm: Matinee (Just above of the bast line)
This necklace size goes over tops.
30in / 76cm: Opera
The position is just below the bast line.
34in / 86cm: Rope
Wrapped to sit on the centre of the bast, long necklace chain is not popular at Shokoro but I am sure there are many of this style on fashion magazine and it is fun to challenge on new style, Isn't it?
