Our top 5 chains for men

  1. The first and most common option is Belcher. Their other name is Rolo. This is one of the varieties of anchor weaving, the feature of which is perfectly round links firmly connected to each other. This type of knitting also has its subspecies, where the links can be double and even triple. Such chains look simple and chic at the same time, captivate with their elegance, conciseness and sophistication of form. They can be worn as an independent accessory, or can be combined with beautiful pendants and crosses. The Belcher style is also great for bracelets, and in a set, these jewelleries will look even more impressive. Ideal for a formal business suit or classic casual.
  2. Another popular men's necklace design is the curb chain. Its links are thin, rather flat and slightly twisted; firmly soldered together, they form a smooth sparkling surface. Their thickness can vary from 1 mm to several cm, which allows you to completely modify the decoration and combine it with any style of clothing. The combination of several such chains of different widths looks original. This weaving is considered very reliable and is ideal for everyday wear.
  3. Rope weaving looks very beautiful and stylish. Many thin links woven together form an unusual volumetric shape, very reminiscent of a tourniquet. The complex design seems very airy and delicate, but at the same time spectacular and original, not requiring additional decorations. Ideal for men who don't like unnecessary details.
  4. Byzantine weaving is amazing, unusual and complex. Such chains are created exclusively by hand and only by experienced jewelers, due to which their cost is quite high, but this beauty is worth it. The most traditional option is round links of the same size, which, intertwined, create a fancy pattern; their location and quantity affects the final thickness of the product. There are also more original designs with oval or square links. This jewellery look very self-sufficient and are considered the best for men.
  5. Bismarck is a timeless classic! This complex and very strong knitting has many subspecies and manufacturing methods, is one of the most durable. Each type of this weaving has its own characteristics and unique features, but there are also unusual combined options that combine several techniques. The subspecies Pharaoh and Royal (round) are considered the most courageous and respectable.

The chain options listed above are the most fashionable and in demand on the market, but this isn't a complete list of men's neck accessories. In addition, choosing the perfect necklace is not limited to its design - there are other important points to take into account.

Useful selection tips:

  • The quality and type of metal is very important. Traditional 14 carat gold or exquisite and solid sterling silver are the most relevant options for men's chains.
  • If you want to wear this jewelry with a pendant or a cross, choose it in the same metal and colour.
  • In addition, the decorative element should not be larger and heavier than the chain itself. So, the thinner it's, the smaller and lighter the pendant.
    - Choose a secure fastener. For men's necklaces, the best options are a classic carabiner or a box clasp that can withstand a lot of weight.
  • Find the right length. You can measure it yourself or focus on those chains that you already have and their size suits you. The standard length for men is 18-22 inches.
  • Neck jewellery for men, as a rule, is much thicker and more massive than women's, and this is worth considering. Don't buy thin chains unless they are combined with several more, otherwise it will not look very appropriate. Besides, the thicker the product, the longer it will last.
  • When buying, make sure that the links are soldered and not just bent, otherwise there is a great risk that they will simply open if you pull on them or hang a heavy decoration.
  • Don't choose hollow chains for everyday wear, as they are easily deformed.
  • Flat models are also easy to twist, bend, and tear, so they're best left for special occasions and not worn every day.
