Choker or princess

Shop notes, not star ratings. A choker sits at the base of the neck. A princess length sits just below the collarbone. Jewelers of America names those lengths. A neck, a garment, and a humid afternoon still decide more than the name on a card. Choker: about 14 to 16 inches, on or just above the collarbone. Princess: about 18 inches, often 17 to 19. Park heat and a cold dining room still move a chain. If a chain you already own sits where you want it, measure that one. Matinee is commonly 20 to 24 inches. Opera is 28 to 36.

On a crew, a choker sits above the cotton. A closed collared shirt leaves a choker nowhere honest to sit. Park heat and a cold dining room still move a chain. If a chain you already own sits where you want it, measure that one. The name on a card is a convention.

Get this a choker.

Princess

Just below the collarbone. The length that usually has a place to sit on a closed collar. Matinee is commonly 20 to 24 inches. Opera is 28 to 36. Those are later lengths, not this collarbone split. After the choice, the neckline-length kit is a card, an extender, and the two lengths.
