Choosing the Length of A Pearl Necklace
Choosing the right length is an
important part of your purchase. Here are some ideas of what
might be the right length for her.

 |
Choker - 16 inches.
A pearl choker is perhaps the most classic and yet versatile
of all the single strand lengths. A simple pearl choker can
go with virtually any outfit from casual to fancy evening
wear, and just about any neckline imaginable.
|
|
 |
Princess - 18 inches.
The princess length necklace is best suited for crew and
high necklines. It also complements low plunging necklines.
|
|
 |
Matinee - 20 to 24 inches.
Longer than the choker, and just a bit shorter than an opera
length, the matinee necklace is the right choice for casual
or business dressing. HINT: When buying for an older
woman, a longer length helps to draw the attention away from
the neck and to the pearls.
|
|
 |
Opera - 28 to 36 inches.
The opera necklace is the queen of all the lengths. When
worn as a single strand, it is refined and perfect for high
or crew necklines. When doubled upon itself, it serves as a
versatile two strand choker.
