The US Chain Edit

Sterling Silver Chain Necklaces

A focused edit of 925 sterling silver chains chosen for clean link definition, wearable proportions and easy layering. The assortment spans refined 1.2 mm profiles through statement 7 mm links, with common US lengths from 16 to 24 inches.

Choose the chain by link, not only by width

Rope and diamond-cut chains create more sparkle because their surfaces catch light from several angles. Franco, box and foxtail chains feel denser and more structured. Figaro, Cuban and mariner links make a stronger visual statement, while herringbone chains create a smooth, fluid line.

Width changes the character of every link. A fine 1.2–1.8 mm chain works well alone or with a pendant. A 2–3.7 mm chain has more presence without becoming difficult to layer. Wider 5–7 mm profiles are intended to be the focal point.

US chain length guide

A 16-inch chain usually sits close to the base of the neck. An 18-inch chain is a versatile everyday length. A 20-inch chain falls lower on the chest, while 22- and 24-inch chains create a longer silhouette and work well for layering.

Fit varies with neck size, build and clothing. Check the exact product measurements before ordering and compare them with a chain you already wear.
