Sizing Guide

Find Your Fit

Sizing varies less than you'd think — most MAEVA pieces have extenders, so you can fine-tune the fit yourself.

Necklace Lengths

Where a necklace sits depends on your build, but these are the standard placements:

14"
Choker — sits at the base of the throat. Most dramatic, photographs beautifully.
The Pearl Choker
16"
Collarbone — sits right at the collarbone. The classic dainty necklace length.
Pearl Stack (top layer)
18"
Princess — sits just below the collarbone. Most universally flattering length.
Pearl Pendant / Stack mid layer
20"
Matinee — sits at the top of the chest. Great as the longest layer in a stack.
Pearl Stack (bottom layer)

How to Measure Your Neck

  1. Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a piece of string) around the base of your neck
  2. Note that measurement — this is the absolute minimum length where a necklace will sit comfortably
  3. Add 2–4 inches for where you want it to sit (collarbone = +2", just below = +3", top of chest = +4")
  4. That total is your ideal necklace length

If you're between sizes, size up. Most MAEVA necklaces include a 2-inch extender, so you can shorten as needed but you can't lengthen.

Bracelet Sizing

All MAEVA bracelets are 6.5" with a 1" extender — effectively adjustable from 6.5" to 7.5". This fits most wrists between size XS and L.

How to Measure Your Wrist

  1. Wrap a measuring tape around your wrist, just below the wrist bone (not over it)
  2. Add 0.5" for a snug fit, 0.75" for a comfortable fit, or 1" for a loose drape
  3. That's your ideal bracelet length

Quick reference

Most women's wrists measure between 6" and 7". A 6.5" bracelet with a 1" extender works for nearly everyone.

Layering Recommendations

When stacking necklaces, the rule is: each layer should sit 2 inches lower than the one above it. That spacing prevents tangling and creates clean visual lines.

The Pearl Stack is pre-curated for this: 16", 18", 20". Add the Pearl Choker at 14" for a full 4-layer look.
