What's the Right Length Silver Necklace For Kids?

Picking silver necklaces for kids requires you to consider their face shape, overall build, and occasion. However, you shouldn't pick up long lengths in silver necklaces for kids, as they won't be able to handle them. An ideal length for any kid is a silver necklace reaching up to a few inches below the throat. Also, keep the following points in mind when choosing sterling silver chains for kids: 

  • For daily wear give kids a single plain silver necklace reaching up to two inches below the throat. Don't give them long 925 necklaces reaching to below the chest level in any case.
  • For children with round and square-shaped faces, choose silver necklaces that are thin and reach to about four inches below the throat. Do not choose choker length silver necklaces for these kids.
  • Kids with broad shoulders should be given long silver chains of up to 18" for daily wear. Kids with a slim look can go for the choker effect with solid pendants in large motifs. Shorter kids can wear V-shaped silver necklaces for a taller look.
  • Kids with heart-shaped faces should ideally wear choker-length sterling necklaces.
  • The adult 16" necklace will always give an 18"-look on kids so keep that in mind when buying one. For most 8- to 14-year-old children you can get a 14-16" necklace.
You can choose longer lengths in 925 necklaces for children if you're taking them out with you for a formal event like a dinner party or theater. You can also combine varying lengths of plain silver necklaces for a stylish look but check whether you kids can handle these. Most children prefer a short necklace that doesn't seem to 'get in the way' of all they want to do! In case you intend to dress up your kid with a combination of two silver necklaces, choose varying lengths with a difference of at least six inches in length to prevent the silver neck chains from being entangled.

Hyperactive children should not be given longer sterling necklaces as they may get them entangled in the dress or hair. Hyperactive young girls with long hair are better off with choker length or up-to-neckline sterling silver necklaces.

For an average-build kid you can also run a tape measure around their neckline and choose a silver necklace of the exact length or longer by two inches. In case you pick a shorter silver necklace, ensure that it has a clasp that can be easily opened by the child himself.
