All You Need to Know About Sterling Silver Chains

Which silver chain styles are strongest?

Durable Silver Chains

Curb chains and figaro chains handle wear well—their flat links resist kinking. Box chains are sturdy in heavier weights. Avoid delicate chains like herringbone or snake for everyday wear—they're prone to kinking and hard to repair.

Curb: Flat links, very strong
Figaro: Classic pattern, holds up
Box: Squared links, modern
Rope: Durable in heavier weights

How thick should a silver chain be?

Chain Thickness

For pendants, match thickness to weight—light pendants on 1-2mm, heavier pieces need 2-3mm. Chains worn alone should be thick enough to notice. On women, 1-2mm is subtle, 3-4mm is noticeable. On men, 4-6mm is common for standalone chains.

1-2mm: Delicate, for light pendants
2-3mm: Versatile middle ground
4-5mm: Bold, visible on its own
6mm+: Statement piece

How do I prevent silver chain tarnish?

Tarnish Prevention

Store in anti-tarnish bags or with silica packets. Keep away from rubber (it speeds tarnish). Remove before applying lotions, perfume, or hairspray. Actually wearing your chain helps—oils from skin create a protective barrier.

Use anti-tarnish storage
Remove before cosmetics
Keep away from rubber
Regular wear helps prevent tarnish

What length chain should I get?

Chain Lengths

16" sits at the collarbone—choker style. 18" is the most popular women's length, hitting below the collarbone. 20" falls at the top of the chest. Men typically wear 20-24". Add 2" to your usual length if wearing with a pendant.

16": Choker length
18": Most popular, below collarbone
20-22": Upper chest
24"+: Below chest, often for men

Can I fix a broken silver chain?

Chain Repairs

Most silver chains can be repaired by a jeweler. Simple breaks in curb or cable chains are easy fixes. Herringbone and snake chains are harder—sometimes impossible—to repair invisibly. The clasp is often the weak point and cheap to replace.

Most breaks are repairable
Jewelers can solder links
Clasps are easy to replace
Some chain types repair better

Buyer's Guide

Gold Chains Buying Guide

A quality gold chain is one of the most versatile jewelry investments you can make. Here's everything you need to know to choose well.

Chain Construction

Solid chains: Gold throughout every link. Heavier, more durable, higher value.

Hollow chains: Links have empty space inside. Lighter, more affordable, can dent.

Semi-solid: Middle ground—some structure inside links. Compromise option.

For daily wear, solid construction holds up best. Hollow chains work for occasional wear or when weight is a concern.

Buying Checklist

Check the stamp: 14K, 18K, 585, 750 indicate gold content.

Examine the clasp: Often the weak point. Lobster claws are reliable.

Compare weights: Heavier = more gold. Ask about gram weight.

Inspect links: Look for consistent construction, no rough spots.

Test flexibility: Chain should move smoothly without kinking.

Verify return policy: Chains need to be worn to judge. Buy from sellers who accept returns.
