Size & Style Guide

We've put together a guide to help you choose the right style and size jewellery for your collection. Because necklaces and bracelets sit differently on everyone depending on your body frame and how many charms you add, it is important to measure first. Please use our visual guides, length breakdowns, and simple measurement tips below to help you choose the perfect style and fit that suits you.

Necklace Length & Fit Guide

Choosing the right chain length depends entirely on your personal style and preferences. Please use our visual guide to see where our standard length options sit, along with having a read through our 'things to consider' section below to help you choose. If you need a custom chain length that falls outside of our preselected options, please contact us.
Things to Consider
  • Adding Charms: Please note that adding charms to a necklace pulls the necklace into a slight V-shape. This causes it to sit slightly lower than a plain chain and gives the appearance of a longer length necklace.

  • Body Shape and Frame: Necklaces sit differently depending on your individual build, torso length and bust size. A broader frame or fuller chest can naturally cause mid-to-long necklaces (such as our 51cm, 61cm and 76cm chains) to sit higher than shown on the model.

  • Neck Size: Chain lengths vary by individual neck measurements. For example, a 41cm chain may fit like a relaxed choker on one person, but sit at the collarbone on another.
How to Measure at Home (Before You Buy)
Don't want to guess? Try these two foolproof tricks to make sure you get the exact length you want:
Method 1: The String Test
  1. Take a piece of thin string or cord.
  2. Wrap it around your neck and position it exactly where you want your new Zahli chain to sit.
  3. Mark the spot, lay the string flat against a ruler, and note down the centimetres.
Method 2: The Existing Favourite
  1. Find a necklace you already own that sits exactly how you like it.
  2. Unclasp it, lay it completely flat along a measuring tape, and measure from end to end (including the clasp).
Zahli Length Breakdown
  • 41cm: Sits high, right at the base of the neck. Perfect for tight stacking.
  • 46cm: The classic standard. Sits beautifully at the collarbone.
  • 51cm: Drops just below the collarbone. The ideal middle ground for holding a main charm.
  • 61cm: Hangs mid-chest. Great for a bold, standalone statement piece.
  • 76cm: A long, deep plunge length that reaches the mid-torso area. This size is intended for long statement styles or multi-piece layering.

Bracelet Length & Fit Guide

Finding your perfect bracelet length ensures your collection sits comfortably without slipping or catching. Use our breakdown below to choose your preferred size, then check out our 'things to consider' section below to customise your layout. If you need a custom chain length that falls outside of our preselected options, please contact us.
Things to Consider
  • Style Preference: Consider how you prefer your wristwear to drape. For a secure fit that keeps the charms resting closely in place, select a size nearer to your actual wrist measurement. For a relaxed fit where the chain and hanging charms slide freely with your movement, choose a larger length option.
  • Wrist Size Comparison: Keep in mind that unlike necklaces, which drape lower based on body silhouette and torso frame, a bracelet's fit is determined entirely by your wrist measurement.
How to Measure at Home (Before You Buy)
Grab a flexible measuring tape or a piece of thin string to find your exact wrist size before you order:
Method:
  1. Wrap a piece of string or a flexible measuring tape around your wrist.
  2. Adjust it until it sits exactly how loose or snug you want your bracelet to feel.
  3. Mark that length, lay it flat against a ruler, and note down the centimetres.
  4. Choose the bracelet size that is closest to your measurement.
Zahli Length Breakdown
  • 16.5cm: Petite/Sleek. Fits closer to small wrists or works as a snug standalone chain.
  • 18cm: The Classic Standard. Our most popular size for everyday casual wear.
  • 19.5cm: The Sweet Spot. The ideal middle ground for a relaxed drape or building out a charm layout.
  • 21cm: Extended & Bold. Designed for broader frames or stacks that slide freely with movement.
  • 22.5cm: An extended length option intended for a relaxed, loose drape or for layering comfortably over broader wrist frames.

Creating Your Look

  • Fine Chains:
    - With the clip: Best suited for both singlular or multiple petite charms.

  • Chunky Chains: Perfect for larger statements, multiple pieces, or building a fuller story.
  • Mix & Match: Layer a delicate chain with a chunky one for a modern, textured look that holds more of what matters.
Our Pairing Preference
