A chain necklace can be a great accessory for day or for evening. Whether you’re shopping for a men's chain necklace or a women’s chain necklace, first consider the overall look you want to achieve. Are you looking for a simple, elegant chain, like a box chain? Or maybe a thick chain necklace, like a curb link chain? Or a more intricate design, like a wheat chain? Do you want a simple chain you can wear with your favorite pendant, like a cable chain?
Will you be layering your chains? It’s a good idea to use different lengths and textures for both visual interest and to help prevent them from getting tangled.
Next, think about color. The two main options for chains are typically gold and silver. However, the necklaces come in many shades including white gold, rose gold, and black.
Price is another significant factor to consider when buying a chain necklace. From sterling silver and gold-plated chains to 24 karat gold necklaces, the quality and purity of the metal significantly factor into the price, but you can find chain necklaces on Etsy to suit all kinds of budgets.
