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.

Details & specs
The chain is made from 304 stainless steel, a grade known for strength and resistance to rust and corrosion, so it can stay on for the shower, the gym and the beach. The O-link design repeats one even, rounded link along the whole length, which makes a smooth, flexible chain that rests comfortably and moves with you.
Both colors, polished silver-tone and warm gold-tone, come from an electroplating process, and we tell you that plainly. The chain closes with a classic lobster clasp that is easy to work. Three widths: 1.2mm is fine and quiet, ideal for holding a pendant; 2.0mm and 2.4mm have more presence and hold their own without one.
How to wear it
Wear it solo with a tee for a clean look, or let it sit under the collar of an open shirt. The finer widths suit a pendant, while the wider chains stand on their own. Match the color to your watch or ring, and if you layer, put the O-link at the top and a longer chain below it.
Choosing your size
Lengths are 18 and 20 in. The 18 in usually sits at the collarbone, close to the neck; the 20 in rests a little lower on the upper chest and gives a pendant more room. For a subtle look, choose the 1.2mm width; for more presence, choose 2.0mm or 2.4mm. If he is broad through the neck, go for 20 in.
Why this piece

304 stainless steel resists rust and corrosion and does not turn your skin green, so it is built for daily wear.

Questions
Will daily showers and the beach harm the 304 steel O-link chain?
No. 304 stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, so water and sweat are not a problem for the rounded links. Dry it with a soft cloth afterward to keep the electroplated color bright.
Is this a good first chain?
Yes. A plain O-link is one of the easiest chains to wear: it suits a tee, a shirt and a pendant, and it does not compete with a watch.
How do I keep the finish looking good?
Keep it away from harsh chemicals like bleach and clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Putting it on after cologne also helps the plated color.
What is 304 stainless steel?
It is the most widely used grade of stainless steel, known for strength and for resisting rust and corrosion. It is the same family of steel used in kitchen equipment, which is why water and sweat do not harm it.
What is an O-link chain?
A simple cable-style chain: one even, rounded link repeated along the whole length. It is smooth, flexible and easy to wear alone or with a pendant.
Is the silver-tone version plated too?
Yes. Both the silver-tone and the gold-tone are electroplated finishes over 304 stainless steel.
Can the 1.2mm hold a pendant?
Yes. The 1.2mm is the fine, quiet width meant for a pendant. Choose 20 in to give the pendant a little more room on the chest.
What if 18 in turns out too short?
If you contact us within 2 hours of ordering, we can switch it to 20 in before it ships. After that, return it unworn in its original packaging within 30 days and order the 20 in.
