what length?

What length do you like your necklaces? Please oh please someone comment and help me out here. I am venturing slowly into the necklace world and I want to make and design things in the size or length that will please most people........me I like mine longer.........why???? Well I have a thick neck!!!!! and those turkey gobbler hangy down things that run on my paternal side of the family.........honest, all of this family, even the few skinny ones had these turkey hangy down things..........egads, couldn't get thick eyelashes, or to die for legs.............nope, got the turkey gobbler thingies!!!! So very few choker or short in length necklaces for me............and there so many beautiful ones out there too..........oh well, I am not going to whine about

something like that............this one to the left isn't mine, the one above is and the next one will be too................
I am just loving adding the ribbons to necklaces, but haven't limited myself to doing just those..........I just have to set aside some time and take some photos and go over to my site and TRY TO REMEMBER how to do the site........man, this remember things is starting to get to me......ok, again, please help me out with lengths here..........want to make what most people want.......not just what I am comfortable and want................thank you in advance.

ME,
I usually have two lenths of necklaces available 18 inch and 24 inch, these will please most people. Now when I am making necklaces for my nieces with their long slender necks I usually do 17 inches with an adjustable clasp to make them up to one inch shorter (just link several jump rings together on one side), I have also gotten into doing pearl ropes that can be worn so many different ways I have lost count, those are generally 100 inches long. Hope this helps with rather than adds to your dilemma. You can see some of the stuff I have made at http://community.webshots.com/user/tammiebug I haven't updated in awhile because I keep forgetting to take pictures of my stuff before it is given away or sold.
