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
From a quiet 3mm to an 11mm people notice across the room.
Atlas did not get to choose the size of his load. You do get to choose the width of your chain, and here there are six. A curb link in stainless steel, twisted and flattened so it lies flat, with polished faces that catch light in short, clean flashes. Plated in silver-tone, gold-tone or black, from 3mm to 11mm wide, in 20, 22 or 24 in.
- Shower, sweat, sea: it stays on
- Six widths, from 3mm to 11mm
- Silver-tone, gold-tone or black
Details & specs
Built from stainless steel in the classic curb pattern: the links are twisted and flattened so they lie flat against the skin instead of rolling. Stainless steel is a hard-wearing metal that resists rust and corrosion, so it holds up to daily wear better than softer jewelry metals, and the shower, the gym and the beach are part of its routine.
The link faces are polished, so the chain reflects light in a clean, even way along its length. The color is a plated finish, offered in silver-tone, gold-tone and black, so you can match it to the watch and rings you already wear. Widths are 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 7mm, 9mm and 11mm, from a discreet line to real weight.
How to wear it
With a white tee and denim, a 4mm or 5mm in silver-tone sits close to the neckline and keeps things simple. Under an open collar, go wider, 7mm or 9mm, so the chain still reads against the shirt. With a suit, keep it hidden or choose 3mm; for a night out, the 11mm in black or gold-tone is the whole outfit.
Choosing your size
Lengths are 20 in (51 cm), 22 in (56 cm) and 24 in (61 cm). 20 in sits just below the collarbone and works under a shirt; 22 in is the safe middle and lands at the top of the chest; 24 in drops lower and suits the wider widths and larger builds. For width, 3mm and 4mm are discreet, 5mm and 7mm balanced, 9mm and 11mm statement chains with real weight.

Questions
Can the flat curb chain in black stay on for the shower and the gym?
Yes. Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, so water and workouts are part of its routine. Rinse the plated color in fresh water after the sea and dry it with a soft cloth.
How do I care for the plated finish?
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear to remove sweat, keep it away from perfume and cleaning products, and store it apart from other jewelry so the links do not rub.
Can I wear two together?
Yes. Pair a slim width at 20 in with a wider one at 24 in, in the same finish, so the two chains sit apart and the look stays balanced.
Is 11mm too big?
It is a statement chain with real weight, meant to be the whole outfit. For everyday wear, 5mm or 7mm is the balanced choice.
What is the difference between a curb chain and a Cuban chain?
A Cuban chain is a heavier variation of the curb, with thicker links set tighter together. This is a classic flat curb, which lies lower on the skin at the same width.
Is the silver-tone plated as well?
Yes. Silver-tone, gold-tone and black are all plated finishes over stainless steel, so you can match the chain to the watch and rings you already wear.
Which width suits a slim build?
3mm to 5mm keeps the proportions right on a slim frame. 9mm and 11mm suit a broader build, ideally at 24 in.
Which flat curb width and color fit a night out?
The 11mm in black or gold-tone: at that width the chain is the whole outfit. For a suit, keep it hidden or choose the 3mm.
