Engraved Bond | Necklace Size Guide

1. Necklace Length Conversion Chart

Most of our pieces feature a 5cm (2") extender, allowing you to customize your drop for the perfect layered "neck-mess."

Length in Inches	Length in Centimeters	Where it Falls (Visual Guide)
14"	35 cm	Choker: Wraps closely around the neck.
16"	40 cm	Standard: Sits at the base of the neck (Collarbone).
18"	45 cm	Princess: Most common length; falls just below the collarbone.
20"	50 cm	Matinee: Sits between the collarbone and the bust.
22"	55 cm	Long: Falls at the top of the bust.
24"	60 cm	Opera: Sits comfortably on the bust.

2. How to Master the Layered Look

To achieve that signature Engraved Bond aesthetic, we recommend staggering your lengths by 2 inches (5cm).

The Perfect Duo: Pair a 16" dainty chain (like the Glisten Gemstone) with an 18" pendant.
The Trinity Stack: Start with a 14" choker, add a 16" station necklace, and finish with a 20" Y-necklace (like our Trinity Set).

3. How to Measure at Home

Measure an Existing Necklace: Lay a necklace you love flat and measure it from end to end (including the clasp) with a ruler.
The String Method: Wrap a piece of string around your neck to the desired length. Mark the spot and measure the string against a ruler.
