Byzantine Link Chain Necklace
Find your necklace length
Where a chain sits depends on its length. Here is how each length falls on an average build.
Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 56 cm (22").
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 5 cm (2") more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm (3.4") long: count how many fit along your strip.
| Length | Where it sits | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 46 cm (18") | Base of the neck | Choker look · layering base |
| 51 cm (20") | On the collarbone | Classic · everyday |
| 56 cm (22") | Top of the chest | Versatile · with a pendant |
| 61 cm (24") | Mid-chest | Statement · pendant-friendly |
Layering tip: pick two lengths 5–10 cm (2–4") apart so each chain sits on its own.

The details
The Byzantine chain is known for its intricate, four-in-one link pattern. Each link passes through four others, creating a textured, flexible chain that feels substantial. The polished, rounded surfaces reflect light from every angle as you move.
This chain has enough presence to be worn on its own over a t-shirt or with an open-collared shirt. For a coordinated look, wear the necklace with the matching Byzantine bracelet.
Specifications
How to wear it
The 22-inch necklace rests just below the collarbone, a length that works with most necklines. The Byzantine weave is dense and textured, so the chain is visible and reads as a statement piece.
Wear the necklace alone over a T-shirt or with an open-collared shirt, without a pendant: the weave is the detail. For a coordinated look, add the bracelet in the same color.
Why this link
Each ring passes through four others, so the chain builds into a dense, rope-like weave that stays flexible. The rounded, polished surfaces reflect light from every angle as you move. It is for the man who wants one substantial chain that carries the look on its own.
Living with steel
- Silver tone. This is bare steel. There is no plating to wear off. Shower, sea, gym: it can stay on. A soft cloth brings the shine back.
- Gold tone and black. A plated layer sits on the steel. Water is fine. Chlorine, perfume and constant friction wear it faster. Take it off for the pool, put your cologne on first, and it will last longer.
- What our warranty covers. Clasps that fail and links that break under normal wear, for one year. Normal surface wear isn't a defect, and we'd rather tell you now.

Questions
How do I keep the plating on the Byzantine link chain looking new?
Wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing and put it on after perfume and lotion. The gold-tone or silver-tone plating sits over titanium steel, which does not rust or turn your skin green.
Is the Byzantine link chain too much for an open-collar shirt?
No, that is where it looks right. It has enough presence to be worn on its own over a T-shirt or an open collar, so skip the pendant and let the woven links show.
Can I wear the Byzantine necklace and bracelet as a matching set?
Yes. The 8.75 inch Byzantine bracelet has its own page; take it in the same color: both use the same Byzantine link and the same polished plating.
Where does the 22 inch Byzantine necklace sit on the chest?
Just below the collarbone, a versatile length for most necklines. On a broad or athletic neck it will sit a little higher.
Is the silver Byzantine link chain bare steel or plated?
Plated. Both colors are titanium steel with a polished plating, silver-tone or gold-tone. Neither contains gold or silver.
Byzantine vs rope chain: what is the difference?
A rope chain twists links into a spiral. A Byzantine chain folds rings through each other in a four-in-one pattern, so it looks denser, more textured and more three-dimensional at the same length.
Is the Byzantine link chain a good gift for a man who already owns a Cuban chain?
Yes. A Cuban chain reads as one smooth surface, while the Byzantine's four-in-one woven links add texture, so the two look different.
