Understanding Our Measurements
The length listed for bar necklaces is measured from clasp to hook, including the width of the bar. This total length does not directly reflect how the necklace will sit when worn. To more accurately determine where the necklace will sit, subtract the 'bar width' measurement from the 'length end to end" measurement.
For necklaces featuring extension chains, the length is measured from the clasp to the shortest option. There for if an extension length is listed it is in addition to the listed necklace length, allowing for adjustable sizing.
