Necklaces come in a range of metals and gemstones, from simple gold chains to diamond tennis and station necklaces. Prices start around $600 for a simple gold diamond piece and reach up to roughly half a million dollars for the most exceptional statement designs, so there's something to fit nearly any occasion or budget.

Since 1912, we've helped Nashville shoppers find necklaces for everyday wear and special occasions alike, backed by sizing, repair, and appraisal services.

The right necklace comes down to length, neckline, and how you plan to wear it, either alone or layered with other pieces.

Understand standard lengths
A 14-16 inch chain sits high and snug, choker-style, and works well with open necklines like off-the-shoulder or boatneck tops. 18 inches, often called ""princess length,"" is the most popular and versatile option, sitting just below the collarbone and pairing well with almost any neckline or pendant. 20-24 inches (matinee length) falls between the collarbone and bust for a slightly more relaxed, elegant look, and anything 28 inches or longer (opera length) makes more of a statement and can even be doubled for a layered effect.

Men's chains typically run a bit longer, commonly 18-24 inches depending on build and how the piece is meant to sit.

Match the length to your neckline
As a simple rule, a necklace should either sit clearly above your neckline or hang well below it, not stop right at the edge, which tends to look awkward. Shorter chains and chokers work best with open or strapless necklines, while V-necks and scoop necks pair naturally with mid-length or longer pendant necklaces. Crew necks and turtlenecks tend to look best with a longer chain that layers over the fabric.

Consider your build and proportions
Petite frames and shorter necks are often flattered by shorter to mid-length chains, while longer or layered lengths can help balance a taller frame or broader shoulders. If you're unsure, measuring with a flexible tape or a piece of string around your neck, then adding a couple of inches for how you want it to drop, is the easiest way to test a length before buying.

Think about layering
Layering multiple necklaces has become a popular way to build a personal, dynamic look. A good starting formula is a short base chain (14-16 inches), a mid-length piece (18-20 inches), and a longer statement or pendant piece (22-24 inches), leaving at least 2 inches between each layer so they don't tangle and each one stays visible. Mixing chain textures (a delicate chain with a slightly bolder one) adds depth, while keeping metal tones consistent helps the whole stack feel intentional rather than mismatched.

Factor in pendant weight and chain style
A heavier pendant needs a sturdier chain to support it and will pull the necklace slightly lower than an unweighted chain of the same length, so it's worth trying the actual pendant-and-chain combination together rather than judging length alone.

Since length and drop are hard to judge from a photo, trying a necklace on in person, or measuring carefully if shopping online, is the best way to make sure it sits exactly where you want it before you commit.
