Can a necklace chain be shortened?

To shorten an item, the jeweler simply measures how many inches need to be removed from one area of the item. Next, they take out that portion and then reattach the clasp end to the rest of the necklace or bracelet that’s been shortened.

How do you shorten a gold necklace without cutting it?

Without cutting the chain

There are other solutions: Make several turns around your wrist to have a multirang bracelet or around your neck to make a build-up of choker. If your chain is not too big, slip a pendant over your chain and tie a knot just above. Place your clasp on another link, somewhere else on the chain.

How much does it cost to shorten a necklace?

To shorten a regular chain, the service is around $30-35. For thick chains in Cuban, curb, or Figaro style, the jeweler has to spend more time and labor to remove the links, so expect a corresponding increase of $20 or more in price.
