When choosing a chain necklace, the first thing to consider is where it might fall on your body in different lengths, which will determine the wearing effect you want to achieve.

| Necklace Length | Style | Placement on the Body |
|---|---|---|
| < 13" | Collar | Being around the neck tightly. |
| 14"~16" | Choker | Lying on the base of the neck. |
| 17"~19" | Princess | Falling on the collarbone elegantly. |
| 20"~24" / 25"~27" | Matinee | Falling below the collarbone. |
| 28"~34" | Opera | At or below 1 - 2 inches at the bust. |
| 35"~44" / > 45" | Rope | Located at or below the waist. |
Tips: If you have a thicker neck and are considering a choker style necklace, you can choose 16" necklace.
Please note that by chain thickness we mean the width of the necklace links.


For more variety in casual or business casual wear, try to choose a chain thickness of 6mm or less. The thicker the chain, the more casual your outfit is likely to be.
This handy chart below will provide you with an easy way to find the right thickness of necklace chain.
| Style | Chain thickness |
|---|---|
| Thin | 0~1mm / 1~2mm |
| Medium | 2~3mm / 3~4mm / 4~5mm / 5~6mm |
| Chunk | 6~7mm / 7~8mm / 8~9mm / 9~10mm / 10~11mm / 11~12mm |
| Extra large | >12mm |
Tips: Each range size of the chain thickness doesn’t include the minimum value. For example, if you want to search for a chain with a thickness of 2mm, you should choose from a range value of 1~2mm instead of 2~3mm.
Our stainless steel jewelry undergoes three types of electroplating processes: PVD vacuum plating, ion plating (IP), and water electroplating. Vacuum plating, also known as physical vapor deposition (PVD), is a surface treatment technology. This process involves evaporating or sputtering metal or non-metal materials under vacuum conditions and depositing them onto the surface of the object to create a thin film. PVD technology includes various coating methods, with ion plating (IP) being one of them. Ion plating (IP) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is sometimes called ion assisted deposition (IAD) or ion vapor deposition (IVD) and is a modified version of vacuum deposition.
The thickness of the plating layer is influenced by the electroplating process and duration. The longer the plating time, the thicker the layer becomes, resulting in longer color preservation.
Below is a brief comparison of the color durability of Ion Plating, PVD Vacuum Plating, and Water Galvanization.
| Electroplating Process | Feature | Metal Color | Color Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Electroplating | Stainless steel is a non-reactive metal, which means it does not oxidize or tarnish like other metals such as silver or brass. Hypoallergenic. | Stainless Steel Color | Tarnish resistant, retain its color for a long time |
| Vacuum Ion Plating(IP) | The vacuum plating process is complex and requires specific environmental and equipment conditions, making it a green, environmentally friendly technology. The plating is done in a vacuum oven, resulting in longer color retention and a durable coating. |
