Bracelet & Necklace Length Guide
Find Your Perfect Fit
At Boho Betty, every piece is designed to be worn and loved — not guessed at. Use this guide to measure up and shop with confidence.
Bracelet Lengths
How to Measure Your Wrist
- Wrap a soft tape measure (or a strip of paper) snugly around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
- Note the measurement in centimetres.
- Add 1–2 cm for a comfortable fit, or 0.5 cm for a snug fit.
Common Bracelet Lengths
| Length | Typical Wrist Size | Style |
|---|---|---|
| 16 cm | 14–15 cm | Snug single wrap |
| 18 cm | 15–17 cm | Relaxed single wrap — our most popular fit |
| 20 cm | 17–19 cm | Loose single wrap or layered look |
| 36–40 cm | Any | Double or triple wrap — boho stacked style |
Adjustable & One-Size Bracelets
Many of our bracelets feature a sliding chain or thread slider or extender chain, making them adjustable across a range of wrist sizes. Where a piece is listed as "one size", it will typically fit wrists between 15–18 cm comfortably. Check the individual product description for the exact length.

Necklace Lengths
How to Measure Your Neck
- Measure around the base of your neck with a soft tape measure.
- Add the desired drop length to find your ideal necklace length.
Common Necklace Lengths & How They Sit
| Length | Where It Sits | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 35–40 cm (14–16") | Collarbone / choker | Layering base, statement pendants |
| 42–45 cm (16–18") | Just below collarbone | Everyday wear, most necklines |
| 50 cm (20") | Upper chest | Longer pendants, boho layering |
| 60+ cm (24"+) | Mid-chest or lower | Statement pieces, tassel necklaces |
Pendant Necklaces
For pieces with a pendant, the hanging length listed in the product description refers to the total drop from the chain end to the tip of the pendant — not the chain length alone. Factor this in when choosing your length.

| Amala Turquoise Howlite Charm Carrier & Solana Gold Sun Charm Carrier — the pendant drop is measured from the base of the chain to the tip of the charm. | |
Adjustable Necklaces
All our necklaces come with an extender chain (usually +5 cm) giving you flexibility to wear the piece at different lengths. The listed length is the shortest setting.
Our Boho Betty Necklace Extender — available in gold & silver, adds up to 5 cm of adjustability.
Layering Tips
- For a classic boho stack, choose necklaces at least 5–8 cm apart in length so each piece sits distinctly. I have also provided a few necklace hacks over on instagram on how to layer your necklaces and can be found here:
- Mix textures — a delicate chain with a beaded piece — for depth without bulk.
- Bracelets layer beautifully when you mix single-wrap and multi-wrap styles on the same wrist.
