GWENEVERE Belt / Labradorite / Aluminum

These chains come with a lobster clasp and the tightness is somewhat adjustable. We have given you a range on each of the available sizes of what it should fit. You can wear them looser or tighter depending on the clothing or look you're going for. If you plan to wear them with a lot of clothing, you should go for the size that gives you more wiggle room. They are designed to look good with extra length. You are also able to take out the jump rings easily if you're savvy with some pliers.  If you don't see your size available choose the "custom" size and message us your waist measurement and what you plan to use it for.

Measure around your waist where you want the chain to sit with the clothing on you would like to wear with it. The largest number on each size is how long the chain is without any slack, and the smallest is smallest recommend waist size.. If you would like for part of the chain to dangle you will have to allow for that in your measurement.
