Polished Cable 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.

- Width & Length
- Available in widths from a subtle 3mm to a bold 10mm, and lengths from 18 to 28 inches.
- Link Design
- Each oval link is thick and smoothly rounded for a comfortable feel against the skin.
- Daily Wear
- A durable build suitable for continuous, everyday wear.
Finding your fit
The 3mm and 4mm widths offer a minimal look, while the 6mm is more noticeable. For a true statement piece, choose the 10mm width. A 20-inch length typically sits at the collarbone, with 22 and 24 inches falling lower on the chest.
The details
The design is based on the traditional anchor or cable chain, known for its strength and simplicity. Each link is polished to a mirror finish, creating a continuous play of light along the chain's surface as you move. The rounded profile ensures it lies flat and comfortably.
This chain works well on its own as a primary accessory. For a layered look, pair a shorter, thinner chain with a longer, wider one from the same collection.
Specifications
How to wear it
18" (46 cm) sits close to the neck, 20" (51 cm) at the collarbone, 22" and 24" (56 and 61 cm) lower on the chest, and 26" to 28" (66 to 71 cm) lowest. 3 and 4 mm are minimal, 6 mm is noticeable, 10 mm is a statement.
Wear it on its own against the skin or over a T-shirt. To layer, pair a shorter, thinner one with a longer, wider one about 2 inches (5 cm) apart, such as 4 mm at 20" with 6 mm at 22".
Why this link
Thick, smoothly rounded oval links are polished to a mirror finish, so light runs along the chain as you move. The cable, or anchor, link is one of the simplest and strongest chain designs, and the rounded profile lies flat and comfortable. It suits the man who wants a plain, honest chain in exactly the width he likes.
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.
- 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
Does the polished cable chain stay shiny with daily wear?
Yes. It is titanium steel with a polished finish and no plating, so it does not rust or tarnish. Fine marks can appear on any polished steel over time, and a soft cloth brings back the mirror shine.
Is a cable chain the same as an anchor chain?
Close relatives. This design is based on the traditional anchor or cable chain: a line of thick oval links, known for strength and simplicity.
How do I layer two polished cable chains?
Pair a shorter, thinner one with a longer, wider one, for example a 3 mm at 20 inches with a 6 mm at 24 inches. Keep the lengths at least 5 cm (2 in) apart so each lies on its own line.
Are the rounded cable links comfortable on bare skin?
Yes. Each oval link is thick and smoothly rounded, so the chain lies flat and feels comfortable worn directly against the skin.
Cable chain vs rope chain: what is the difference?
A cable chain is a line of separate oval links, so it looks clean and simple. A rope chain twists links into a spiral, so it looks textured and catches more light.
6mm or 10mm cable chain?
6 mm is noticeable but still easy to wear every day. 10 mm is a statement chain worn on its own and seen first.
What width is right for a pendant?
3 or 4 mm for a small to medium pendant, 6 mm for a larger one. A heavier pendant needs a thicker chain to sit properly.
Is the polished cable chain easy to put on by myself?
Yes. It closes with a lobster clasp, a spring-loaded hook that clips onto the end ring.
How do I clean a stainless steel chain?
Warm water with a drop of mild soap, a soft brush for the links, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid bleach and harsh cleaners, especially on gold-tone or black plating. Bare steel, like the Polished Cable Link Chain Necklace, takes back its shine with a simple wipe.
Box chain vs cable chain for a man?
A cable chain has simple round or oval links, classic and relaxed; a box chain has square links that read as one tight, clean line. For a bold everyday cable look: the Polished Cable Link Chain Necklace (3 to 10 mm). For a fine, neat line: the Box Chain Necklace in Titanium Steel. See box chains.
Should a man's chain be short or long?
For a single chain, short to medium looks cleanest: 20 inches at the collarbone. Long chains (26 in and more) suit a pendant or a loose, laid-back look. The Franco Link Chain Necklace goes from 22 to 30 in, and the Polished Cable Link Chain Necklace from 18 to 28 in.
Stainless steel or titanium steel: which is better for a chain?
For daily wear they behave the same way: both are stainless steel (titanium steel is a stainless steel alloy), both stay on in the shower and at the sea. Choose by the design you like. Each product page names the exact steel, for example the Franco Link Chain Necklace in 316L stainless steel or the Polished Cable Link Chain Necklace in titanium steel.
