Tips for Choosing Chains
1. Consider the Look You're Going For
Delicate & Minimalist: If you prefer something simple and understated, our dainty Cable Chains and Box Chains are the perfect choice. These delicate options add a subtle touch of elegance that pairs perfectly with smaller pendants or for a minimalist layered look.
Bold & Statement: Want to stand out? Opt for a Herringbone Chain or a Rope Chain. These thicker, eye-catching styles are perfect for adding texture to your stack or making a statement on their own.
Boho & Free-Spirited: Our Ball Chains or Figaro Chains are ideal if you love that effortlessly cool, boho vibe. Pair them with your favorite charm or locket to capture that laid-back yet stylish look.
2. Match Your Chain to Your Pendant
Not every chain works well with every pendant. If you have a heavier charm or locket, you’ll want to pair it with a sturdier chain, like a Rope Chain or a Curb Chain. For smaller, more delicate pendants, a Cable Chain or Box Chain will do the trick!
3. Choose the Right Length
The length of your chain can completely change the vibe of your necklace. Here’s a quick guide:
16-inch Chains: This length sits right at the base of your neck, giving you a choker-like look. Perfect for pairing with low-cut tops or layering with longer necklaces.
18-inch Chains: The classic, just-above-the-collarbone length. It’s a go-to for everyday wear and works beautifully with both casual and formal outfits.
20-24 inch Chains: These longer lengths rest at the center of your chest, giving your jewelry more room to shine. Great for showcasing larger pendants or creating a multi-layered look.
4. Layer, Layer, Layer!
One of the most exciting ways to wear chains is by layering them! Here are some tips to get it right:
Mix up the chain lengths to create dimension and avoid tangling.
Experiment with different chain styles—pair a delicate chain with a chunkier one for contrast.
Don’t be afraid to layer with your favorite pendants or charms! Add personal flair by mixing in engraved pieces, lockets, or even a Western Boot Locket for a bold look.
5. Metals Matter
