How to Measure Your Neck for a UNICAS Handmade Necklace

One of the chief joys of buying handmade jewelry is that each piece is yours and yours alone. Since no two pieces are alike, no one has a necklace exactly like yours. Every time you put on your handmade UNICAS necklace, you will know that it was created just for you.

You can make that handmade UNICAS necklace even more special by making sure you order the proper length. It can be difficult to know which length will look the best, and that is why it is important to measure your neck before you place your order.

Measuring your neck is easy, and the guys out there may already have a head start. While most women do not know their neck size, many men already know their collar size from buying shirts, suits and formal wear.

If you do not already know your neck size, all you need is a soft measuring tape like the kind tailors use. Simply wrap the tape around the base of your neck, place your finger where the two pieces meet and note the measurement.

If you do not have a soft measuring tape available, simply wrap a ribbon or similar material around the base of your neck and mark the spot where the ends meet. Then lay that ribbon out on a flat surface and measure it with a tape measure or yardstick.

Choosing the Right Length

Once you know your neck size, you can use that measurement as a basis for choosing the right length UNICAS necklace. A good rule of thumb is to choose a length at least two sizes up from your neck measurement. For instance, if your neck measures 18”, a chain length of at least 20” would be recommended.

It is also important to think about how that particular necklace will be worn. If you need a choker to wear for formal occasions, ordering one close to your actual neck measurement makes sense. If you prefer a longer necklace for casual wear, it could make sense to order the longest one available. Many women have necklaces of varying lengths in their wardrobe – this assortment of sizes makes it easier to find the perfect look for any outfit.
