Is there something you would like to know?

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

If you have questions about jewelry I will try my best to answer them for you here :) If I don’t know I will research it and let you know what I’ve found out. Example: maybe you wish to know what the different lengths of necklaces are called. The answer is as follows:

Common Necklace Lengths

Choker: 14″ – 16″: Rests just above the collarbone.

Princess: 17″ – 19″: Rests just below the collarbone.

Matinee: 20″ -24″: Rests just above the bust.

Opera: 28″ – 36″:Rests at the midriff. Can be wrapped for a double strand.

True not all necklaces are of a length that fit in these categories precisely, but the catagories & lengths given are the industry accepted norms.

I look forward to hearing from you :) SuzyM
