Solid vs Hollow
Solid chains are gold all the way through—heavier, more durable, and worth more. Hollow chains look the same but have air inside the links, making them lighter and more affordable. The tradeoff? Hollow chains can dent or crush if you're not careful. For everyday wear, solid is the safer bet.
- Solid: Heavy, durable, holds value
- Hollow: Light, affordable, needs care
- Semi-solid: A middle option
- Solid is better for daily wear
- Hollow can dent if crushed
