How to Choose a Length
- Decide approximately where you want the chain or necklace to sit.
- Use a flexible tape or a piece of string to preview that length on the intended wearer.
- If the jewellery will be worn with a pendant, allow for the additional drop created by the pendant.
- Check the individual product length and measurements shown on the Gold Factory website before ordering.
