Necklaces & Bracelets

The standard length for a necklace is 18 inches. Most of my designs are strung on 18” unless described otherwise in the item description. If in the past you've found necklaces tend to be too long for you, order 16 inch length. If you've found the opposite to be true order 20-24 inch length. To order a different length than in the item description email me at info@janinedesign.com.
Long necklaces are typically 30 inches. Depending on your body type, we give you the freedom to size up or down. I am a bigger gal and I personally like 20” long necklaces. Children ages 6-10 enjoy a 14-16” length.  If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask.
