Pearl strings Ends

[LLoydsJewelry]

I see a lot of experts saying leave 3 inches at the end of a strand to accommodate the neck. I'm a guy I need help. Is is 3 inches each side of the clasp or 3 total. I'm specializing in Tin cup styles. Any comments as to how important this is, or should be would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a link to one of mine.

Hi Lloyd,
Three inches of chain on either side of the clasp would give a smooth profile across the back of the neck. Unless the hair is short, pearls or other focus beads would not be seen. Some find it more comfortable to have no "bumpies" at the back of the neck

What is your invis-mount method please? I have seen similar looks at department store counters, but thought that they were probably using glue.
It is a very pretty look.
