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
A braided wheat chain sized to carry a pendant or stand alone.
Atlas carried the world. You carry your day: the drive in, the work, the evening that still needs you. This 4mm wheat chain is built to come along for all of it. Its links are braided in the classic wheat pattern, so the chain has a rounded, textured profile and a solid, comfortable weight. Choose polished steel or gold-tone, in seven lengths from 18 to 31 in, worn alone or with a pendant.
- Shower, gym, beach: it can all stay on
- Seven lengths, from 18 to 31 in
- Polished steel or gold-tone
Details & specs
Made from stainless steel, which resists rust and corrosion and can stay on through the shower and the gym. The links are woven together in the wheat pattern, a braid that gives the chain a rounded, textured surface instead of a flat line. The result is strong and flexible, and it catches light from every angle as you move.
At 4mm the chain has a noticeable presence without getting in the way. It is wide enough to carry a pendant and fine enough to wear under a shirt. It comes in polished steel or in gold-tone, which is a plated color, and closes with a reliable lobster clasp that is easy to work first thing in the morning.
How to wear it
Worn alone over a crew neck tee, the braid is the detail and needs nothing else. For something sharper, let it sit under the open collar of a button-down shirt. The 4mm width is also a sound base for a pendant: a longer length gives the pendant room to hang on the chest. Match gold-tone to a gold-tone watch, polished steel to a steel one.
Choosing your size
Lengths run 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 and 31 in. An 18 in chain sits close to the neck, 20 to 22 in falls at or just below the collarbone, and 24 in and longer rest on the chest, which is where most pendants look best. The 31 in gives the longest drop, useful for layering. If he has a broad neck or wants the chain visible over a tee, go up one length.
Why this piece
Braided, not flat
The woven wheat link gives texture and depth that a plain cable or curb chain does not have.
Made to stay on
Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion and does not turn your skin green, so it handles sweat, water and daily wear.

Questions
Can the Atlas 4mm wheat chain go through the gym and the shower every day?
Yes. Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion and does not turn your skin green. A wipe with a soft dry cloth brings the braid's shine back.
Can I put a pendant on it?
Yes. At 4mm the chain is strong enough to carry a pendant. For a pendant, 22 or 24 in usually works best, so it hangs on the chest rather than at the throat.
What is the difference between the polished steel and the gold-tone 4mm wheat chain?
The polished steel version is bare stainless steel; the gold-tone is a plated color over the same steel. Match gold-tone to a gold-tone watch and polished steel to a steel one.
How does a 4mm wheat braid differ from a curb or cable chain?
It is woven rather than flat. The wheat links braid into a rounded, textured surface that catches light from every angle, where a plain cable or curb chain shows a simpler line.
Why would I choose 26 or 28 in?
For a longer drop on the chest: room for a larger pendant, or the lower chain in a layered pair.
Can I wear it under a shirt?
Yes. At 4mm it is fine enough to sit under a buttoned shirt and still noticeable with a tee.
Is the clasp easy to use?
Yes. The lobster clasp is easy to work, even first thing in the morning.
How noticeable is 4mm?
Clearly visible without getting in the way. The braid catches light from every angle as you move.
