Men's pearl necklace guide
To choose a men's pearl necklace, pick a length that sits at the collarbone or just below it (about 18 to 20 inches for most men), pearls of about 6 to 8 mm for everyday wear, and freshwater or baroque pearls for a relaxed look. Wear it alone with a T-shirt or open collar, or layer it with a simple chain.
