Guide to Sterling Silver Chains
1. Rope Chain
Rope chain features twisted links that are each connected to two other links in a continuous row. The twist causes the chain to create a spiraled effect similar to the woven fibers of a rope.
2. Figaro Chain
Figaro chains feature one longer link alternating with three to five smaller links; all are twisted to lie flat, similar to a curb chain.
3. Bead Chain
Bead chain is characterized by spherical links, often hollow, that are joined by narrow connector wire or bars.
4. Cuban Chain
Cuban link chain is like a curb chain but designed with thick links that gives the chain a weighty, substantial appearance. The links can be fabricated from sheet and have hollow interiors, reducing material costs and giving the finished chain a lighter weight.
