Pendant Size
Pendant size is a factor that can influence the chain length as well as the overall design of the necklace. It’s a good idea to get this right before you purchase any necklace, whether it be for yourself or a gift.
Pendants can be small, medium, or large in size, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to wear a pendant that’s large, you’ll want to buy a larger chain that can carry the weight of it.
In addition, you need to make sure that the pendant is balanced on the chain, otherwise it will look out of proportion and not very attractive. The width of the chain also affects this, as a thin chain will not be able to hold as much weight as a wider one.
The best way to determine the pendant size is to measure the length and width of a table, kitchen island, counter, or bar in feet and subtract 12 inches. This will give you a maximum size that will allow pendants to be hung above it without being too close together.
Chain Length
The chain length is a crucial element when choosing the right necklace. It is important to consider not only how it relates to the pendant weight, but also what style and color you are trying to achieve.
While it may be a small detail, it can make the difference between an average chain and an eye-catching one. It is also an important factor to consider because of how it lays on your neck.
For instance, a narrow chain can dig into your skin and make it uncomfortable to wear. On the other hand, a wider chain offers more surface area and will distribute the pendant’s weight much better.
Chains are available in a variety of widths, from 1mm to 21mm. A 2mm width is comparable to a headphone cord, while 6mm is similar to the thickness of a pen or pencil.

Chain Material
The chain material will determine the overall appearance of your necklace. The metal type will also affect how it lays on your neck.
The most durable and long-lasting chains are made of gold, platinum, white gold with rhodium plating or sterling silver. Stainless steel and other metals can be strong, too.
If you have a heavier pendant, it is best to choose a chain that is wider than usual. This will distribute the weight better and make it more comfortable to wear.
Generally, larger pendants can be worn on longer length chains as well as shorter ones, provided that the chain is strong enough to handle the pendant’s weight. Lighter pendants, on the other hand, should be more suited to shorter chain lengths as they are more likely to get caught in clothing or pulled, which can lead to breakages.
If you are unsure of how to gauge the right length, try using a piece of string. Drape it where you would like your necklace to fall, then measure the length with a tape measure or ruler.
