Gold Chain Necklaces

How to choose a gold chain

• Style. Cuban link and Bismarck chains lie flat. Rope and Singapore chains are twisted, and spiga wheat is braided. Paperclip, Valentino and textured figaro chains have long links. Box, round snake and Byzantine chains form a smooth or woven line, cable chains have simple rectangular links, rolo chains have round links, and sequin chains shine with small flat discs.
• Width. Under 2.5 mm looks fine and layers easily, 2.5 to 4 mm is a clear everyday width, and 4 mm and up is bold. Our chains run from 1 to 7 mm. Any width suits anyone, men and women alike.
• Chain length guide. 16 in sits at the base of the neck, 18 in at or just below the collarbone, 20 in a little below it, 22 in on the upper chest and 24 in lower on the chest. Length is measured end to end, including the clasp.
• Clasp. Most chains close with a lobster clasp; the 1.65 and 2.2 mm rolo chains close with a spring ring clasp.
• Gold. Every chain is 14K yellow gold, which contains 58.5% pure gold. Each width is its own piece, and you can switch widths on the product page.

Questions

How do I layer chains?

Choose lengths about 2 inches apart, such as 16 and 18 inches, so each chain sits on its own. A fine chain next to a bolder or textured one adds contrast.

Which chains suit men?

Any chain suits anyone. For a bolder look, choose 4 mm or wider, such as a Cuban link, textured figaro or Bismarck chain, at 20 inches or longer.

How long does delivery take?
