Franco necklace length: 22, 26, 28 or 30 inches
A Franco necklace is a statement chain, and where it lands on your chest decides the whole look. Our Franco starts where many chains stop: the shortest length is 22". This page helps you pick between the four lengths. For widths, see Franco chain width.
The Franco Link Chain Necklace is made of 316L stainless steel, with a square, four-sided link, in silver-tone polished steel, gold-tone plating or black plating.
Where each length sits
| Length | In cm | Where it lands (average adult neck) |
|---|---|---|
| 22" | 56 cm | Just below the collarbone, visible at an open collar |
| 26" | 66 cm | Upper to mid chest, the pendant length |
| 28" | 71 cm | Mid chest, a loose, relaxed drape |
| 30" | 76 cm | Lower chest, a long streetwear drop |
If your neck is larger than average, or if you are between two lengths, choose the longer one. A Franco chain is stiff for its size, so it does not relax much on the neck.
Which length for which outfit
22": the everyday length
Over a crew neck t-shirt or inside an open shirt, 22" keeps the chain where people see it without it swinging. Pair it with 6 mm for daily wear.
26": the pendant length
Long enough for a pendant to sit flat on the chest. Also the length to choose if you plan to hang a pendant on your Franco.
28" and 30": the long drop
Over a hoodie, a sweatshirt or an oversized tee, a long Franco hangs in a clean line. These lengths suit the 9 and 13 mm widths best.
How to check your size before ordering
Lay a string around your neck where you want the chain to fall, mark it, and measure it flat. Compare that number to the table above. If you want a length between 22" and 26" in other link styles, see our 24 inch chains.
Franco necklace length FAQ
Which Franco length should I start with?
22" for a chain worn alone, 26" with a pendant.
Is 30 inches too long?
For a slim frame it can be. It works best with a wide chain on a broad chest, worn over clothing.
Can I swap the length if it is wrong?
Yes, you have 30 days to return it. Shipping is free on orders over $60.
