A Simple Guide to Choosing Your Chain

Choosing your silver chain doesn’t have to be a hassle. Let's narrow it down...

Step 1. Choose a chain style

For women: There are so many choices when it  comes to widths and styles.  Generally, the average chain width for women is around 1mm and the most common styles are wheat, box, cable, and rope chains.

For Men:  Men generally go toward wider widths such as 3mm and higher. Styles like Figaro and Curb are on trend and popular

*Note: the chain styles mentioned are not gender-specific and are equally popular with everyone.

2. Choose chain length

Our most common chain length sold is 45 cm. For woman 40cm and 45cm chains are a popular choice , while men generally look for longer lengths like 50cm and 60cm.

Layering is such a popular trend and I don't think it will ever be out of style. Especially when it comes to necklaces. By layering the varying lengths of a chain (with or without a pendant), you can express your personality and your own personal style. From 35cm for chokers all the way to 60cm, the options are endless.

✨ Pro Tip ✨

Before buying, check that the chain won’t snag in your clothes.

Easy check – put it on your clothing and see if it catches the threads of the fabric when you pull the chain gently.

Chains with a polished surface are best, not only to avoid snagging, but also because if the chain is rough, it will rub against your skin and cause irritation
