Types of Chains
There are endless types of chain link designs. Ball/Beaded chains consist of round links. This type of chain is more likely to be used for hanging a pendant. Bar and link chains typically cause more curiosity because they have a unique design. Box chain links are classically made up of box-shaped links. One of the most popular types of links are cable chains, interlocking ovals, or squares of the same size. As you can see, there are lots of different types of links found in chain jewelry!
The Thickness of Chain Jewelry
Chain jewelry comes in many different thicknesses, from thick and heavy to small and dainty. When planning to hang a pendant on your chain, thickness needs to be considered. If the charm is small, the thinner the chain, the better. If the pendant is heavy, go with a thicker chain to prevent breaking your necklace. Chain thickness is measured in milimeters. So if you want to draw attention to a pendant and its beauty without the chain looking too bulky, you might want a thinner piece. But remember that the higher the thickness of the chain, the sturdier it is.
Here is a comparison that can help you to visualize typical chain thickness and help you choose the chain that you need.
- 1.35mm = a dime
- 1.55mm = a penny
- 1.75mm = a quarter
- 1.95mm = a nickel
If you are craving to play with different aesthetics, chain thickness is the way to do so. Chunky chain jewelry can give you the urban aesthetic, and medium-thickness jewelry can help you reach the clean girl aesthetic.
Length
You know that we adore layering, and chain jewelry is perfect for this! Here are the most common lengths of chains:
- Choker length = 14 in. Choker sits comfortably around the neck
- Collar length = 16 in. This length sits above your collarbone
- Princess length = 18 in. This is the most common length in chain jewelry necklaces as it sits just perfect on your collarbone and is the best choice for adding pendants
- Matinee length = 24 in. The best when looking to accentuate a deep-cut top or dress as it sits right on your chest
- Opera length = 30-36 in. Opera-length chain jewelry is usually worn when you want to wrap the necklace around twice
