Chains

Start with the length: consider where you want your pendant to sit and the necklines you usually wear. Measuring a necklace you already enjoy is a useful way to choose. The same chain length can sit differently on different people.

Next, consider the link style and thickness. A smooth snake chain offers a streamlined look, while box and rope styles add a different texture. Match the chain to the size and weight of your pendant, and check that the pendant’s bail—the loop at the top—can accommodate the chain and its end fitting.

Finally, choose your finish. Sterling silver offers a silver tone, while gold plating adds a gold-coloured surface over a sterling silver base. Check each listing for its material, dimensions and care instructions. If you’re unsure about a pairing, contact us with the pendant and chain you’re considering.
