2-4mm Titanium Steel Rope Chain

The piece

The chain is made from titanium steel, a stainless steel alloy that resists rust and corrosion through daily wear. The links are twisted into a continuous rope profile, which gives the chain its rounded body and the small flashes of light that run along its length.

The surface is electroplated for an even silver tone from clasp to clasp. Widths run 2mm, 2.4mm, 3mm and 4mm, with lengths from 18 to 31 inches (45–80 cm).

How to wear it

With a white tee, a 20 or 22 inch chain lands mid-chest and gives a plain outfit a center line. Under an open collar shirt, go 18 or 20 inch so the rope shows against skin instead of fabric. Pair a thinner 2mm or 2.4mm with a steel watch for a low-key look, or run a 4mm on its own with a black crewneck.

Choosing your size

Lengths are 18" (45cm), 20" (50cm), 22" (55cm), 24" (60cm), 26" (65cm), 28" (70cm) and 31" (80cm). For most men, 20" sits at the top of the chest and 22" sits a little lower, while 18" stays close to the collarbone; add a size if you have a broader neck or chest, or if you want it to fall over a sweater. On width, 2mm and 2.4mm are subtle everyday options, 3mm is the balanced middle, and 4mm is the boldest of the four.

Questions

Will it hold up if I wear it every day?

Yes. Titanium steel is a stainless steel alloy that resists rust and corrosion, and the rope link is dense enough for daily wear.

How do I take care of it?

Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear and store it away from lotions, perfume and chlorine. Keep it dry when you can to protect the plated finish.

What length should I buy as a gift?

20 inches (50 cm) in 3mm suits most men and lands at the top of the chest. Choose 22 or 24 inches if he is taller or broader, or prefers a lower drape.
