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.

A flat ribbon of polished steel across the collarbone.
Atlas carried the sky and never once shrugged it off. A good chain earns its place the same way. This 5mm flat snake chain is stainless steel, built from tightly set flat links that form one smooth band. It lies against the skin instead of stacking up like a rope chain, and the polished surface runs like a ribbon of light. Steel color or gold-tone, five lengths, plus a 2 inch extender.
- Does not rust, does not turn skin green
- 5mm flat profile, no bulk
- Lobster clasp and 2 in extender

MaterialStainless steel
Chain styleFlat snake chain
Width5mm
Length16 to 24 in, plus 2 in extender
FinishSteel or gold-tone (vacuum plating)
ClosureLobster clasp
The chain is stainless steel, made of tightly set flat links that form one continuous, liquid-looking band. Stainless steel does not rust, so it handles daily wear, sweat and weather without special care. Every link is polished to a bright, reflective surface that gives the chain visual weight at 5mm without any bulk.
Two colors: the clean natural steel, or a warm gold-tone finish made with vacuum plating for color retention. It is a plated finish, stated plainly. The chain closes with a lobster clasp and includes a 2 inch (5 cm) extender, so you can fine-tune exactly where it sits on the neck.
How to wear it
On its own with a white or black tee, it reads clean and deliberate. Under an open collar or a knit, let one or two links show for a quieter version. It pairs well with a gold-tone or steel watch; keep the metals matched and skip a second chain, since the flat band is already the statement.
Choosing your size
Lengths are 16" (40 cm), 18" (45 cm), 20" (50 cm), 22" (55 cm) and 24" (60 cm). For most men, 20" sits just below the collarbone and works with open collars and crew necks; 22" and 24" fall toward mid chest; 16" and 18" sit close to the neck. Each length has a 2 inch (5 cm) extender, so if you are between sizes, take the shorter and extend it.
Why this piece
Flat profile, no bulk
The snake band lies flat and follows the neck instead of rolling, so 5mm gives presence without feeling heavy.
Made to stay on
Stainless steel does not rust or turn your skin green, and the gold-tone uses vacuum plating made for color retention.
A gift for the man who carries everything
For a father, a partner or a son who wants one strong piece. 20" is the safe length, the extender covers small differences, and you have 30 days to return it.

Questions
Can the 5mm flat snake chain go in the sea?
Yes. The stainless steel does not rust. After a swim, rinse the gold-tone version in fresh water and dry the flat band with a soft cloth.
Where does the 5mm flat snake chain sit at 20 in?
Just below the collarbone on most men, which works with open collars and crew necks. 22" and 24" fall toward mid chest, and 16" and 18" sit close to the neck.
What if I am between two lengths?
Take the shorter one and use the 2 inch extender. It lets the chain drop a little lower for an open collar or a broader neck.
Is a 5mm snake chain too thick?
No. The flat band lies against the skin and follows the neck, so 5mm gives presence without bulk.
How is a flat snake chain different from a rope chain?
It lies flat as one smooth band instead of stacking up in twists, so it shines like a ribbon rather than in small flashes.
Should I wear a second chain with it?
Better not. The flat band is already the statement; match it to a steel or gold-tone watch instead.
How is the gold-tone made?
By vacuum plating over the stainless steel, made for color retention.
Does every length have the extender?
Yes. Each length, from 16 to 24 in, comes with a 2 in (5 cm) extender.
