Mens Link Chain Necklace

Men's link chain necklaces: what chain is your pendant on?

When you buy a pendant necklace, you also buy its chain, and the link changes how the whole piece looks. A medallion on a wheat chain reads warmer and more textured than the same medallion on a box chain. This page gathers our link chain necklaces, plain chains and pendant pieces, in stainless steel or titanium steel (a stainless steel alloy, not pure titanium). Below, we show which chain each pendant necklace comes on, so you can choose the pair, not only the pendant. For a guide to pendant styles and sizes, see our men's chain pendants.

Pendant necklaces and the chain they come on

What each chain brings to the pendant

Box chain: clean and neutral

Small square links make a smooth line that lets the pendant speak. The Compass Pendant Necklace, with its antiqued eight-pointed star (39.8 x 35 mm), and the Dog Tag Cross Pendant Necklace both hang on box chains.

Wheat chain: texture and strength

Woven, rounded links add their own texture without competing with a strong pendant shape, like the engraved Arrowhead.

Mixed and wave chains: the chain as a detail

The Mixed Chain with Four-Point Star Pendant alternates snake and curb sections under a mirror-polished star. Here the chain is part of the design, not just a support.

Snake chain: smooth and close

A round snake chain is a smooth tube that suits a short necklace, like the Archangel medallion at the base of the neck.

Looking for a cross? Our cross pendant chains show which chain carries which cross.

Plain link chains, for your own pendant

If you already own a pendant, this page also holds plain chains: box, rope, wheat, cable, Figaro, Cuban and more. A fine box or rope chain suits a small pendant; a Franco or wheat chain of 6 mm and up carries a heavy one.

Care

You can wear these necklaces in the shower, at the sea or in the pool. Rinse them in clean water after salt water or chlorine and dry them. Plated finishes wear with perfume and friction over time. Every necklace has a 1-year warranty against defects and 30-day returns.
