Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with different necklace lengths lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. I wanted to share my little experiment with you all, specifically about the 16-inch versus 18-inch necklace situation.

18 inch necklace vs 16: A Simple Guide to Choosing the Right Size

First off, I grabbed a couple of necklaces from my jewelry box – one that’s 16 inches and another that’s 18 inches. I tried the 16-inch one first. It’s supposed to be more of a choker style, you know? Wrapped it around my neck, and yeah, it sat right above my collarbone, just like the internet said it would.

  • Placement: Snug against the base of my throat. Definitely a choker.

  • Look: It looked kinda cool, but a bit tight for my liking. Maybe it’s just me, but I felt a little restricted, especially when I turned my head. I paired it with a simple top. The necklace is completely seen above my top.

Next up, I switched to the 18-inch necklace. This one’s supposed to be the “most common size,” and I can see why. It landed right on my collarbone, giving a bit more breathing room.

  • Placement: Comfortably on my collarbone.

  • Look: This felt way more comfortable. It moved with me, didn’t feel like it was choking me. Also tried with the same top as the 16-inch one. I think it gave off a more relaxed vibe.

I even asked my friend to try them on, just to see if it was just my neck or something. She’s got a different build than me, and the 16-inch looked way better on her, more like a true choker. The 18-inch was still good, but it sat a bit lower on her chest.

So, what did I learn from this little experiment? Well, it really does depend on your body and what you like. I, personally, prefer the 18-inch one for everyday wear. It’s just more comfortable and versatile. But the 16-inch? That’s gonna be my go-to for when I want to make more of a statement, maybe with a different outfit.

Honestly, it’s worth trying out both lengths if you can. You might be surprised at which one you end up liking more!
