Necklace lengths
Most DiDi necklaces are Princess length as I find this the most versatile, going with practically any outfit. It is also the most flattering for women with shorter necks and with bigger busts.Those of us blessed with a fuller figure should avoid matinee length necklaces as they tend to end where the cleavage begins and either sit strangely when worn over jumper or t-shirt or invite people to peer more closely at one's bosom, especially if there is a pendant nestling there! Longer lengths that skim over the top of the bust are OK. If your figure is more of model proportions then matinee length is fine and longer lengths stunning - especially over a plain shift dress or roll-neck jumper.
Collar and choker necklaces are lovely with evening wear and big-bead chokers can actually enhance a shorter neck. It depends on how confident you are about your neck and chin area and jewellery can enhance or detract, depending on what works best for you.
Collar 12" – 13" Fits snugly around the middle of the neck Choker 14" – 16" Fits just on or above the collarbone
Princess 17"- 19" Fits a little below the collar bone
Matinee 20" – 24" Fits just above the bust
Opera 26" – 36" Fits over the bustline
Rope 37" – 45" Long necklace which can be knotted or worn doubled
Lariat – 48" + Very long open-ended necklace: one end can be looped through the other end or it can be wrapped round your neck several times, or even wound round your wrist for a chunky bracelet.
