A pendant necklace would typically measure around 45 – 50 cm (17.5 to 19.5 inches), the measurements of a standard (princess) chain length, which is the most commonly worn necklace length and the one which is suitable to most circumstances. If you are looking for a pendant necklace that usually works well with most outfits, the princess chain length is your go-to length. It is the most commonly purchased length because it looks well on most women. A pendant necklace with the standard length will sit above the neckline of V-necked or lower cut outfits and over high-necked or crew-necked outfits. The standard pendant necklace length looks best on women with average height and build. If you are taller or have a larger frame, the matinee length necklace, which is 55 – 65cm (21.5 – 25.5 inches) long, will look more flattering on you.
