Chain size guide
Length tells you where a chain lands. Width tells you how much visual space it takes. You need both.
Measure a chain you own
Lay a chain flat and measure end to end, including the clasp. That gives you a personal reference instead of a generic body diagram.
Account for the pendant
A pendant changes the lowest point and can make a chain feel longer. Check bail compatibility on the exact products involved.
Treat charts as a starting point
Body shape, neck size and clothing change the result. For a close decision, compare pieces in person.
Make it personal
Where do you want it to land?
Use a chain you like as your starting point. Measure it flat, then note where it lands while worn. If you are adding a pendant, compare the full hanging length rather than copying the chain measurement alone.
