Size Guide · Necklaces
| Style | Length | Where it sits |

| Necklaces | 17-19 in / 43-48 cm | Just below the collarbone. The most common length, great for pendants and any neckline, and for gifting. |
| Long necklaces | 20-36 in / 70-60 cm | Also called Matinee or Opera: between collarbone and bust or even below. Worn long or doubled for a layered look; good over high necklines. |

At Les Beads you will find the length of each specific necklace in its product page. We make our products versatile by adding extensors or making designs that can be worn in many ways. Just as a fitting guide, we have put together these descriptions.
Made to measure
You can request your very own necklace length by writing to us at orders@lesbeads.com or through the chat bubble in the bottom right corner. Prices are subject to the length and other factors but they do not differ much from the original, and quotes for bespoke necklaces are given in advance. We would love to work with you on your special request.
Still struggling to get your size or have any doubts? Write to us at orders@lesbeads.com or chat with us through the chat bubble in the bottom right corner — our customer service replies there during working hours or gets back to you as soon as possible.
Each piece is unique, not two pieces are alike. Please allow between 1-3 working days for production.
MATERIALS & CARE
Materials.
Sterling silver 925 (92.5% silver, 7.5% copper), far more durable than pure silver. Our gold-plated pieces are sterling silver with a thick 18-karat gold layer, so they carry the “925” stamp too.
Care.
Take your jewellery off before swimming, showering or exercising. Apply creams, perfume and hairspray first and let them dry. Store each piece in its protective pouch.
Silver naturally oxidises in contact with air: it is not a fault. A gentle rub with a jewellery cleaning cloth brings the shine back.
Each necklace is unique; bead sizes and colour may vary slightly due to the natural dimensions of the stones.
SHIPPING & RETURNS
Every piece is handmade to order in our studio in Valencia and ships in 1–3 working days.
For hygiene reasons, earrings and toe rings cannot be returned.
OUR VALUES
Why we care? Because a handmade piece is different to a mass produced one, at Les Beads, we have committed to select the best quality materials and to work only with specialist suppliers and renowned manufacturers with years of experience in the industry.
They say that practise makes perfect, and that you need 10.000 hours to master any skill, add to that generations of artisan history in the making of jewellery and silversmithing.
We start the process by designing modern pieces that emphasise the simplicity of these wonderful materials and then add our finishing touches in our studio in Valencia before your piece is packed and shipped.
