If you want to measure the chain, you will need to open it up and make it as straight as possible. Lay it out on a table or flat surface so that it will be easy to measure. Measure the length with a ruler or tape measure. Extend the tape measure from one end of the chain to the other. Do not forget the clasp in your measurement. The complete chain, including the clasp, should be measured because that is what determines how long it hangs.
Note the length. You can make a mental note or write it down. This length is the marketable size of the necklace. If you lived in the United States, measurements are typically in inches, and centimeters are used in most other parts of the world. You can, however, take the measurement in both units if you wish.

Just as different clothes flatter different parts of the body, different necklace lengths accentuate different parts of the body. If you have a slighter body type, a short, thin chain is a great choice. For a fuller figure, a slightly longer and thicker chain is flattering.
Usually, 20 to 22 inch 50 to 55 cm necklaces will do the trick. If you have a flatter, less prominent bust, thin chains measuring around 22 inches 55 cm tend to have an elegant look. Balance a length to your face shape. Necklaces can subtly make your face appear wider, narrower, longer, or shorter depending on the natural shape of your face. As such, different necklace measurements can flatter certain face shapes better than others.
