The right length changes the whole look. See where each length falls, then pick the pearl size that feels like you.

Pearls are measured by diameter in millimetres. Tap a pearl to see how it wears.

No measuring tape? A piece of thread works just as well.

Wrap a thread loosely around your neck and let it fall where you'd like the necklace to sit.
Mark the point where the ends meet.
Lay the thread flat against a ruler or tape and note the length.
Already own a necklace you love? Lay it flat and measure it end to end, clasp included.

Your neckline, height and occasion all play a part. A few things that help:

Buying your first pearl strand? An 18-inch princess length with 6–7 mm pearls is the timeless choice.
Petite frame? Princess length with smaller pearls keeps the look balanced.
Taller or long-necked? Matinee and opera lengths show beautifully.
Wearing a saree or lehenga? A choker or princess strand frames a deep blouse neckline.
Want to layer? Pair lengths at least 2 inches apart, such as 16 and 18 inches, or 18 and 20, so each strand shows.
Buying for a child? 14-inch strands with 4–5 mm pearls are light and comfortable.
