What Necklace Lengths Are Available for Custom Jewelry?

Whether you’re looking to turn a Fingerprint Pendant, Charm, or even Ring into a Necklace, you need to start by finding the right Chain for your custom Jewelry.
The metal, color, and—most importantly—length of the Necklace Chain you choose will help set the tone for the custom Jewelry you create.
Thankfully, there is a Necklace Chain length for every style.
Available Lengths for Custom Necklaces at Legacy Touch
At Legacy Touch, there are a variety of Necklace Chain lengths available, including:
- 16 inch
- 18 inch
- 20 inch
- 22 inch
- 24 inch
- 26 inch
Necklace Chains are available in 2-inch size increments, from as short as 16 inches to as long as 26 inches. Let’s explore each size a little more:

16-Inch Necklace Chains
Our shortest option for Necklace Chains, the 16-inch length is ideal for people who are smaller since it wears close to the neck. This length can also pair beautifully with longer Chain to form a layered look.
18-Inch Necklace Chains
The 18-inch Chain length is the most popular size for women’s Necklaces. It tends to lay along the collarbone of most women and the base of the neck for most men.
20-Inch Necklace Chains
Falling a few inches below the collarbone on most women and right at the collarbone on most men, a 20-inch Chain is a wonderful option for those who like a moderate length.

22-Inch Necklace Chains
Thought to elongate the look of someone’s neck, a 22-inch Chain helps to frame someone’s face and is a great complement to collared shirts.
24-Inch Necklace Chains
Falling a little below the neckline on most people, a 24-inch Chain is best when worn by taller people or with a turtleneck shirt. This is typically the longest Chain length many women will wear.
26-Inch Necklace Chains
26-inch Chains are known for their dramatic swoop and are usually worn by men. This length typically falls near a man’s sternum but can be paired with shorter Necklaces to create a layered look for women.
Benefits of Adjustable Necklace Chains
Our most popular Chains for Necklaces at Legacy Touch are adjustable. Adjustable Chains are one single Chain that has hooks spaced in 2-inch increments allowing you to choose how short or long to wear your Jewelry. Each Adjustable Chain we offer has three size options that are either 16/18/20 inches or 22/24/26 inches.
We offer Adjustable Necklace Chains because of the way they benefit you:
- Your Necklace Will Fit—The First Time: Since you can adjust the size to be what you want, Adjustable Chains take the guesswork out of whether or not the Chain you purchase will fit correctly.
- You Can Change the Look Up as Desired: Many people prefer to wear different lengths of Necklaces with different outfits. When you buy an Adjustable Chain, you can continue to wear the same Necklace and make it fit however you want.
