Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 56 cm (22").
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 5 cm (2") more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm (3.4") long: count how many fit along your strip.

Chain width
A spiral of steel in three colors, from a slim 3mm to 7mm.
Atlas felt the whole sky turn on his shoulders and still did not drop it. A rope chain turns too: its strands are woven in a continuous spiral, so it picks up light from every angle instead of lying flat. Made from stainless steel in silver-tone, gold-tone or black, it comes in five widths from 3mm to 7mm and three lengths, 18, 20 or 24 in, with a lobster clasp.
- Does not rust through sweat or showers
- 3mm to 7mm, in 18, 20 or 24 in
- Silver-tone, gold-tone or black
Details & specs
The chain is made from stainless steel, a material that resists rust and corrosion and holds up to everyday wear, including the shower and the gym. The links are woven in a continuous spiral, which gives the rope chain its rounded, ridged surface and its flexible drape around the neck. Even without a pendant, it reads as texture from across a room.
Widths run from a subtle 3mm through 4mm, 5mm and 6mm to a heavier 7mm. The silver-tone, gold-tone and black are finishes applied to the steel, and we say so plainly. Each chain closes with a lobster clasp and fixed end caps, so it opens easily and stays shut once it is on.
How to wear it
A 3mm or 4mm in silver-tone works under a shirt collar and next to a steel watch without competing with it. Go 5mm or wider in gold-tone or black when the chain is the focus, over a white tee or a black crewneck. For layering, pair a shorter 18 in with a 24 in so the two lines sit clearly apart.
Choosing your size
Lengths are 18, 20 and 24 in. An 18 in sits high, close to the collarbone; a 20 in rests just below it and is the safest pick for a gift; a 24 in falls onto the upper chest and shows above a crewneck or under an open collar. If he has a broad build or you plan to add a pendant, size up one step.
Why this piece
Texture from every angle
The spiral build reflects light from several directions, so the chain stands out even without a pendant.
Stainless steel, every day
It resists rust and does not turn your skin green, so you can wear it on ordinary days instead of saving it.
For the man who carries everything
A gift for a partner, a son or a friend who holds the line for everyone. 20 in in 4mm is the most versatile pick, and you have 30 days to return it.

Questions
Can the spiral rope chain in gold-tone or black go to the beach?
Yes. The stainless steel resists rust and corrosion. After the beach or the pool, rinse the spiral in fresh water and wipe it so the applied finish stays even.
Which spiral rope width goes under a shirt collar next to a steel watch?
A 3mm or 4mm in silver-tone. It sits under a collar without competing with the watch; go 5mm or wider in gold-tone or black when the chain is the focus.
How do I keep it from knotting?
Store it laid flat or hanging rather than loose in a drawer, and the spiral links stay untangled.
What is the difference between the three colors?
Only the finish. Silver-tone, gold-tone and black are applied over the same stainless steel rope chain. Silver-tone sits easiest next to a steel watch; gold-tone and black make the chain the focus.
Is 7mm too heavy for every day?
7mm is the heaviest width, made for days when the chain is the statement. For daily wear under a collar, 3mm or 4mm is easier.
Should I size up the spiral rope chain for a pendant?
Yes, by one step. If you plan to add a pendant or he has a broad build, go from 20 in to 24 in, which falls onto the upper chest.
Rope chain or curb chain: which stands out more?
The rope chain. Its spiral reflects light from several directions, while a curb chain lies flat and reflects in one even line.
Can I return it if the width looks too big?
Yes, within 30 days, unworn and in its original Atlas packaging, with return shipping at your cost. We do not offer exchanges, so place a new order for the width you want.
