About Cable Chains

The cable chain is the foundation of chain jewelry — a timeless design of oval links connected in a simple alternating pattern. Its understated elegance has made it the most popular chain style for diamond pendants and gemstone pendants. Available in every precious metal from 14K gold to platinum.

Timeless Simplicity

The cable chain design dates back centuries and remains the most widely worn chain style in the world. Each oval link connects perpendicularly to the next, creating a flat, uniform chain that drapes beautifully. The simplicity of the design ensures it never looks dated and pairs with virtually any pendant or outfit.

Versatile Across Metals

Cable chains are available in more metal variations than almost any other style. Choose from 14K yellow, white, and rose gold, plus 18K yellow, white, and rose gold, and platinum. Each metal gives the classic cable design a different character.

Pendant Pairing

Cable chains are the number-one choice for pendant necklaces. The oval links allow pendants to move freely, and the chain's low profile keeps the focus on the pendant itself. Pair a 1mm cable chain with a delicate solitaire pendant, or choose a heavier 1.5-2mm chain for a larger pendant.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cable chain?
A cable chain is made of uniformly sized oval links connected in an alternating pattern, where each link sits perpendicular to the next. It is the most classic and widely used chain design, known for its simplicity and versatility.
Are cable chains strong enough for pendants?
Yes. Cable chains are the most popular choice for pendants. Their interlocking oval links provide good strength, and the design allows pendants to hang freely. For heavier pendants, choose a thicker cable chain (1.5mm+) to ensure adequate support.
What is the difference between a cable chain and a link chain?
A cable chain is technically a type of link chain. The term "cable chain" specifically refers to the classic design of oval links alternating in direction. "Link chain" is a broader term that can describe any chain made of connected links, including more decorative and oversized designs.
What width cable chain should I choose?
For a delicate pendant necklace, 0.8-1.2mm is ideal. For wearing alone or with a larger pendant, 1.5-2mm provides more presence. Cable chains thicker than 2mm start to look more like a statement chain than a pendant chain.
