Necklace Lengths By Arte Designs

(These necklace lengths are approximate lengths and may vary depending on each individual.)

Collar — 12-13 inches
Collars are usually made up of three or more strands and lie snugly on the middle of the neck. Collar lengths go best with V-neck, boat neck, or off the shoulder necklines.

Choker — 14-16 inches
A choker is the most versatile of all the single strand lengths. A simple choker can go with just about any neckline and can be worn for any occasion. See our pendants and beaded necklaces. If you have a slightly wider neck, a princess length may fit more comfortably than a choker.

Princess — 17-19 inches
The princess length is best suited for crew and high necklines. It also complements low plunging necklines. Princess lengths look great with pendants. Also, see our beaded necklaces. Keep in mind that necklaces with a heavy pendant will hang slightly longer and an 18 inch necklace will hang farther down on a petite woman.

Matinee — 20-24 inches
The matinee necklace is very sophisticated and is commonly used for casual or business dressing. See our sterling silver lockets or birthstone lockets.

Opera — 28-34 inches
When the opera length is worn as a single strand, it is refined and perfect for high or crew necklines. This length can also be doubled and serve as a two strand choker. An opera length pendant is unique and will compliment any outfit. See our pendant watches.

Rope or Lariat — 38-40 inches or more
This elegant length can be broken down into a multi-strand necklace or a multi-strand bracelet. Both Rope and Lariat can be over 45 inches long, but the ends of a Lariat are left unattached for knotting or wrapping around the neck. (similar to a scarf) Lariats can also be worn around your waist. Below are some ways to wear a Lariat. See our Lariat.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ways To Wear a Lariat
Click on pictures to see larger image.

	Wrap the Lariat around your neck several times then tie it in the front.
	Drape the Lariat over your neck, tie it in the back and let the strands hang down your back. Perfect addition to that sexy backless dress.
	Wrap the Lariat around your neck a few times and let one strand hang in the front of your shoulder and the other strand hang behind your shoulder. Similar to a scarf.
