Why Handmade Chains Are Special

Unlike mass-produced chains, this piece is entirely handmade, with each link meticulously shaped, soldered, and textured by hand. Every link carries its own unique character, making this chain truly one of a kind.

To create this silver necklace, each loop is cut from sterling silver wire, linked together, and securely soldered. The entire chain is then hammered to add a distinctive texture that catches the light beautifully. Finally, it is tumbled for hours to achieve a bright, polished finish.

Versatile Ways to Wear

One of the best features of this handmade chain necklace is its versatility. Thanks to the adjustable clasp, you can wear it at full length or shorten it by securing the clasp at any link.

The result? A trailing strand of chain that can be worn elegantly at the front or as a statement detail at the back. The longer length options offer even more styling possibilities.

Most of our necklaces are adjustable. We typically use a standard (princess) length of 45cm (18"), with an additional 10cm extender chain, which allows adjustment up to matinee length (55cm / 22"). These are the most popular and versatile necklace lengths.

Some of our designs have different lengths, and a few are non-adjustable. Be sure to check the product details and sizes & materials section for the specific measurements of this necklace.

Use our necklace length chart to see where different lengths will sit on the body. However, everyone is different, so we recommend measuring an existing necklace or using a piece of string to find your ideal fit.

Important: Necklace lengths refer to the total circumference. If the necklace features a pendant, it will sit lower than the chain length alone—check the sizes & materials section for full sizing details.
