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.
- 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 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 long: count how many fit along your strip.

A woven Byzantine link with more depth than any flat chain.
Atlas was handed the heaviest job there was and did it every day. Your version is smaller and just as constant, so your chain has to keep up. This 4mm Byzantine link is woven from stainless steel into a dense, rounded rope that bends freely and catches light from every side. It comes in polished silver-tone or gold-tone, in five lengths from 16 to 24 in, and closes with a lobster clasp.

Details & specs
The Byzantine pattern is one of the more complex ways to build a chain. Small stainless steel links interlock in a repeating woven pattern, so the 4mm chain becomes a dense, three-dimensional rope rather than a flat row of loops. It stays flexible, moves with you and has a solid feel in the hand. Stainless steel does not rust, so the shower and the gym are not a problem.
There are two finishes, polished silver-tone and gold-tone, both applied by electroplating for an even color along the whole chain, and we say so plainly. Either way the woven links pick up light at every angle, which gives real texture against bare skin or a plain tee. A secure lobster clasp makes it easy to take on and off.
How to wear it
At 4mm the Byzantine stands on its own, so it needs no pendant. Wear it over a crew neck tee and let the texture be the detail, or under an open shirt collar where only part of it shows. Gold-tone warms up navy, olive and white; silver-tone sits well with a steel watch. Keep other jewelry in the same tone so the woven link stays the focus.
Choosing your size
Lengths are 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 in. A 16 in chain sits close around the base of the neck; 18 and 20 in are the usual choices and rest at or just below the collarbone; 22 and 24 in fall lower, onto the chest. The width is fixed at 4mm. If he is broad through the neck, take the next length up. Measuring a chain he already owns is the surest check.
Why this piece
A texture few chains have
The woven Byzantine link has a rounded, three-dimensional build that a flat curb or cable chain does not. It looks detailed up close and simple from a distance.
Steel for every day
Stainless steel does not rust or turn your skin green, so the chain stays on from the morning shower to the evening workout.
For the man who carries everything
A good pick for a brother or a friend who has never owned a distinctive chain. If you are unsure of his size, 20 in sits just below the collarbone on most men, and you have 30 days to return it.

Questions
Can the 4mm Byzantine chain stay on from the morning shower to the evening workout?
Yes. It is stainless steel, which does not rust or turn your skin green. Dry it with a soft cloth now and then so the woven links keep their shine.
Does the gold-tone color last?
The gold-tone is an electroplated finish made for daily wear. Put the chain on after cologne and keep cleaning products away from it, and the color stays even for longer.
Is a Byzantine chain heavy to wear?
It has a confident weight you notice when you put it on, but the woven links stay flexible and follow the neck, so it is comfortable all day.
What is a Byzantine chain?
Small links interlock in a repeating woven pattern, so the chain becomes a dense, three-dimensional rope rather than a flat row of loops.
Should I add a pendant?
No need. At 4mm the woven link stands on its own and is the detail.
Which tone of the 4mm Byzantine goes with navy or olive?
Gold-tone warms up navy, olive and white; silver-tone sits well with a steel watch. Keep other jewelry in the same tone so the woven link stays the focus.
Is 16 in a choker length?
Close to it: 16 in sits close around the base of the neck. 18 and 20 in are the usual choices.
What if I pick the wrong length?
Contact us within 2 hours of your order and we can change it before it ships. After that, return the unworn chain within 30 days in its original packaging and reorder.
