Chians

A jewellery chain is a series of interconnected links, often made of metal, worn as a necklace, bracelet, or anklet. It serves as a decorative piece or a base for pendants.

Different types of jewellery chains include cable, curb, Figaro, rope, snake, and box chains, each distinguished by its unique link pattern and flexibility.

Chains are typically made from various materials like gold, silver, platinum, stainless steel, and sometimes more affordable alloys. The choice of material affects cost and durability.

To choose the right chain length, consider where you want the pendant to lie on your chest and the neckline of your clothing. Common lengths range from 16 to 24 inches for necklaces.

To clean your jewellery chain, use a mild soap and warm water solution with a soft brush, then rinse and dry thoroughly. For precious metals, consider a professional cleaning.

Yes, chains can often be repaired if broken by a skilled jeweller, who can reattach links or replace clasps. The feasibility depends on the type of chain and extent of damage.

The most durable types of chains are often considered to be rope chains, curb chains, and Figaro chains due to their strong link construction and resistance to kinking.

It is generally not recommended to wear a chain in the shower, as soap and shampoo residues can dull the metal and collect in crevices, requiring more frequent cleaning.

A solid chain is made entirely of metal, making it heavier and more durable, while a hollow chain is lighter and more affordable but also more prone to denting.

You can buy good quality jewellery chains from reputable jewellery stores, specialized online retailers, or certified precious metal dealers who offer a range of styles and materials.
