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.

Chain width
Rounded links that read the same from every angle.
Atlas never asked for a lighter load, only for the strength to hold it. This rolo chain is built on the same idea: rounded box links in stainless steel, each locked into the next, keeping an even profile from clasp to clasp. It sits flat and catches small, even flashes of light. Choose 2, 3 or 4mm, silver, gold-tone or black, and a length from 18 to 30 inches.
- Does not rust, does not turn skin green
- Three widths: 2, 3 or 4mm
- Silver, gold-tone or black
Details & specs
Built from stainless steel in a rounded box link, where each square-set link locks into the next for a smooth, continuous line. The links keep their profile from end to end, with no twist and no flattening as you move. Stainless steel does not rust, so sweat, showers and salt water are simply part of its day.
Silver is the bare steel. Gold-tone and black are electroplated finishes, and we would rather you know it up front. Widths run 2mm, 3mm and 4mm, so the same design can read quiet or heavy depending on your choice. A lobster clasp closes it, and the chain comes alone, ready for a pendant if you want one.
How to wear it
With a white tee, a 20" or 22" in 3mm sits just below the collar line and does the work on its own. Under an open shirt, go 2mm for something only noticed up close, or 4mm if the chain should be the point. Match the finish to your watch and rings, or run a longer black chain over a dark knit for a low-contrast look at dinner.
Choosing your size
Lengths are 18" (45 cm), high on the neck; 20" (50 cm), at the collarbone; 22" (55 cm), just below it and the most common pick; 24" and 26" (60 to 65 cm), toward the upper chest and good with a pendant; and 30" (75 cm), a long, deliberate drape. Widths: 2mm fine, 3mm balanced, 4mm bold. For a slimmer neck, 20" is the better fit.
Why this piece
Even from every angle
The rounded box link looks the same lying flat or turned, so the chain reads clean alone and layers without turning into a tangle.
Steel for every day
Stainless steel does not rust and keeps its shape, so it can stay on in the water and at the gym.
For the man who carries everything
A gift for the friend who always shows up, or a father who never stops. 22" in 3mm silver suits most men and most wardrobes, and you have 30 days to return it.

Questions
Is the rolo chain in black or gold-tone fine at the pool?
Yes. The stainless steel does not rust. After the pool or the sea, a rinse in fresh water and a soft cloth keep the electroplated black and gold-tone even; the silver is bare steel.
Which rolo width should I wear under an open shirt?
2mm if you want it noticed only up close, 4mm if the chain should be the point. With a white tee, the 3mm at 20" or 22" does the work on its own.
Will the black and gold-tone finishes last?
They are electroplated finishes made for regular wear. Put the chain on after perfume and keep abrasive cleaners away to help the color stay even.
What is a rolo chain?
A rolo uses rounded box links: square-set links with softened edges that lock into one another for a smooth, continuous line.
How is a rolo different from a cable chain?
A cable chain uses flat oval links. A rolo's rounded box links have more volume, so it looks fuller at the same width.
Who is the 30 in rolo length for?
A man who wants a long, deliberate drape. At 30" (75 cm) it is the longest of the six lengths, for example a black rolo worn over a dark knit for a low-contrast look.
Which width works with a pendant?
3mm or 4mm at 24 or 26 in gives a pendant a solid base on the upper chest.
Does it twist as I move?
No. The links keep their profile from end to end, with no twist and no flattening.
