Necklace extenders are used to adjust the length of necklaces which are too tight or short. They have connectors on both ends that hook to standard necklace chains. They are usually made of gold or silver to match common necklace materials. Necklace extenders range from three to six inches in length.

Choosing Necklace Extenders (Buying Tips)

Clasp: Choose a necklace extender that hooks securely to your necklace chain. Look for one with a snap-on clasp rather than an open hook or S-hook to keep it from slipping off. If your necklace has a heavy pendant, look for bigger and sturdier clasps to support the weight.

Material:
Choose a necklace extender made of non-allergenic metals to prevent skin irritation. Avoid nickel alloys because they can cause allergic reactions and dermatitis. If you are getting a leather or cloth extender, make sure it is washable and moisture-resistant.
