Style’s of Sterling Silver Necklace
Sterling silver necklace’s and sterling silver chains can come in many different shapes and sizes. Lengths of silver chains are usually measured in inches, and depending on how you would like the silver necklace to hang, we would recommend the following as a necklace guideline: –
The below image illustrates the appearance of different length necklaces worn by both ladies (left) and gentlemen (right).
- Ladies Silver Necklace Length
The standard necklace sizes for women are as follows: –
16″ Necklace – Choker length; this has the necklace sitting very closely around the neck.
18″ Necklace – Collarbone length; still quite a short length which helps keep the necklace visible to others.
20″ Necklace – A few inches below collarbone; here the length is a little longer which allows the necklace to sit a little lower.
22″ Necklace – a 22 inch necklace will hang even lower, but still above the breastbone. Choose this length if you’re going for a relaxed/discreet look.
- Mens Silver Necklace Length
The standard necklace length sizes for men are as follows: –
18″ Necklace – this size men’s necklace usually results in the chain sitting just beneath the collar, showing quite prominently on display.
20″ Necklace – a popular length for men, this allows the necklace to sit beneath the collar and still be visible depending on the type of top being worn.
22” Necklace – this length allows the necklace to sit a little lower down beneath the collar and is suitable for those going for a more relaxed look or for people who are slightly taller.
24″ Necklace – this is one of the longer length of necklace’s which allows it to sit fairly relaxed and loose – usually finishing close to the heart – perfect if you’re attaching a pendant onto it.
30″ Necklace – this is the longest necklace which we stock. If you’re looking for a very casual, laid back and relaxed look, a 30 inch silver necklace would be the perfect choice.
As you can see, there are a variety of different length necklace’s to choose from, but ultimately it comes down to personal preference. Using the necklace length guide above should hopefully help make your choice that little bit easier.
Sterling silver necklaces and chains come in a range of different styles to suit different tastes. Here we are going to talk about some of the key sterling silver necklace styles and hopefully help make selecting your next silver necklace a little bit easier. Key silver necklace styles include:-
A curb style silver necklace is probably the most popular style sterling silver necklace due its design simplicity. A curb style sterling silver necklace has a classic design with flat interlocking curb links. A curb style sterling silver necklace is a very popular choice for both men & women alike due to the understated & casual look it delivers. The thinner curb chains work very well with silver pendants. An example of a curb style silver chain can be seen below: –
Again a Figaro style silver necklace has flattened links similar to the curb style, however where this style differs is in how the connection and size of the links vary – the Figaro style silver chain usually has two or three shorter connecting curb links alternating with longer connecting links. If you’re looking for a silver necklace which offers something a little different, the Figaro style sterling silver necklace is an excellent choice.
Mariner or Anchor Silver Necklace
The Mariner silver chain style is very similar to the Figaro silver necklace style, with the main difference being that the mariner chain alternates a single, small, round link with a larger oval link. These links closely resemble the typical chains attached to anchors for boats hence the alternate style name of “anchor necklace”.

Dog necklace’s have always been a must have fashion accessory fuelled on by the “Top Gun” movie in which Tom Cruise’s “Maverick” famously donned a silver dog tag chain. There is something exceedingly special about a dog tag necklace which ensures they consistently remain at the forefront of fashionable neckwear.
If you’re looking for a silver dog tag necklace or silver dog tag chain, Alfred & Co.
