Men's Silver-Tone Necklace

Your first silver necklace: choose by how you dress

If you have never worn a necklace, the choice can feel large. It gets simple once you start from your clothes and your days, not from the catalog. Every necklace here is silver-tone stainless steel or titanium steel; silver is the color, not the metal. Silver-tone is also the easiest tone to start with: it goes with a steel watch, with gray, navy, black and white.

Three types of necklace

• A plain chain: the most versatile, you forget you are wearing it.
• A chain with a pendant: a focal point, and often a meaning.
• A faith piece: a cross, crucifix or saint medal, worn for what it means.

A necklace for each kind of day

Our picks to start

The discreet one

The 1.5 mm box chain in titanium steel reads as one clean line at the collarbone. You can wear it every day and with a suit.

The easy pendant

The rectangular bar pendant necklace is a polished steel bar on a rope chain, 18" with a 2" extender. Minimal, no symbol to explain.

The everyday chain

The 3 mm braided rope chain in bare titanium steel, in 20", 22" or 24". Visible but quiet.

Three rules for a first necklace

Keep it under 4 mm unless you already like bold pieces. Take 20" if you have no idea: it sits at the collarbone on most men. Wear one necklace, not two, for the first weeks. Once it feels natural, explore our men's silver chains, silver pendant chains or cross chains.

Care

Steel can stay on in the shower, the sea and the pool. Rinse it in clean water after salt or chlorine. On plated pieces, perfume and chlorine wear the plating over time.
