Mens Chain

Your first men's chain: four safe choices

If you have never worn a chain, the choice can feel endless: dozens of links, widths and lengths. The good news is that a first chain does not need to be bold or rare. It needs to be easy to wear every day, with a t-shirt and with a shirt. This page narrows our plain chains down to four safe starting points.

All our chains are made of stainless steel or titanium steel. Silver-tone is the bare polished steel; gold-tone is a plating over steel.

Four chains to start with

The everyday all-rounder

The Cuban Link Chain Necklace in 4 mm is present under an open collar and quiet with a shirt. It comes in silver-tone, gold-tone or black, from 18" to 24".

For a bit more shine

The Rope Chain Necklace in Stainless Steel comes in 3, 4 or 5 mm and 20" to 26". The Figaro Link Chain Necklace comes in 3 to 6 mm and 16" to 26", in silver-tone or gold-tone.

For the most discreet look

The Stainless Steel Box Chain Necklace goes from 1.2 mm to 3 mm. At 2 mm it is a fine line on the neck that never looks like too much, and it can later take a pendant.

The two numbers that matter

Width: for a first chain, 3 to 4 mm. Under 3 mm it can look thin on a man's neck; above 6 mm it becomes a statement. Length: 20" sits at the collarbone, 22" just below. Between the two, take 22" if you have a thicker neck or a broad build.

Care

Shower, sea and pool are fine; rinse in clean water after salt water or chlorine and dry. Perfume and chlorine wear gold-tone plating over time. 1-year warranty against defects, 30-day returns, free shipping over $60.
