The width of Chain or Necklace with the highest amount of returns is 1mm (too thin for most people once they get it.). Don't get 1mm unless you know you will want this size. It has a nice elegant look but is on the thin side.
Anklets and Bracelets should be measured loosely, you do not want a tight fit on these items.

Medallion, Charm or Pendant Size considered too small by most: Anything under 12mm and some think up to 15mm. Anything under 15mm, you need to be sure that this is a good size for you. Some charms, pendants or medals need to be this size, but many are on the tiny side for most people when they are under 15mm.
