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 publishes named necklace lengths as a buying convention. 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. The everyday default. 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. Those are later lengths, not this collarbone split. This page does not print a throat size as a medical fact.
