Here is a general guide for body shapes and jewelry. Of course there are always exceptions. One of my best customers is a tiny little thing who loves to wear huge necklaces ...and she totally owns them!
Petite Women (5'4"ish and under): For a more petite gal a collar length or a little longer necklace is a good choice. If
the necklace gets too long (like past the waist) it's a bad
thing. A longish necklace can elongate and hey..that's always a good
thing right!? From seeing a ton of women try on my necklaces I would
also say that for the most part....smaller pendants look better on slender petite women.
Average Women (5'4" to 5'7"): The "average" woman can pretty much rock any necklace that she desires. The only exception would be for the full busted woman. For her a necklace that is a little higher on the neck around the collar bone is a good choice.
Tall Women(Over 5'7"): My two closest girlfriends fall into this category. They look fabulous in everything. I especially like them in necklaces with huge pendants. A woman that is tall and slim (don't we all wish!) looks good in a choker too because it de-emphasizes height.
