These are our selection of Sterling Silver chains that we offer in all of our shops and now online. The chain is one of the most important pieces in any jewellery box collection. It can completely transform the look and feel of a pendant depending on the length and thickness of the chain. One chain most definitely won't do. A selection of lengths and thicknesses of chains are needed so that we have the freedom to interchange depending on the style or neckline of the outfit we are wearing. How to choose the chain length Its never easy knowing what chain length you might need. When buying as a gift it can become even harder, always take into account the size of the person you are buying for, if the person is larger than yourself, then you know that they will need a longer length than the one you would need. Here are some pointers: 14": The shortest of our chain lengths, this length is perfect when buying a pendant for a child or as a choker on an adult. Please be aware that this length may be too short for some adults. 16": The shortest in standard length chains this length is perfect for small and petite ladies. 18": Known as the "safe length" this length will fit most adult women but can be too short for ladies of a bigger build. 20" and 22": The perfect length for ladies of a bigger build or for when we want a pendant to hang a little lower. 24" and 30": Perfect for when we want a pendant to hang low, usually layered with other necklaces. If your buying a chain for a man you will need a longer length, we recommend: Small men - 18" Average size men - 20"- 24" The Chains Snake Chain The snake chain is a very tight-linked chain and creates a fluid an elegant look.
