7 Types of Chain Necklaces For Men
Based on the list by Sunkissed Treasures, I have made my own detailed list of the chain styles that shows how the chain thickness and chain length can affect the overall look.
The thicker the chain, the more masculine it looks. However, this concept cannot be applied generally because you must first understand the wearer to make it more personal.
Let’s have a look at some examples by designers online.
1. Curb Chain
This heavy chunky link sliver curb chain by Silvertrident is a statement necklace in the boho and hippie style.
Its flat design sits well around the neck, but it can be heavy.
This style is suitable for someone who is bold and loves fashion.
For a subtle everyday wear, you can opt for a medium size, choker length polished stainless steel curb chain as styled by MVMT.
If your man prefer a minimalist style, then this long thin curb chain with a simple rectangle pendant as styled by JEWELSGLARE can be a better option.
If you already own two curb chains, you can always do layering for a stylish look.
Besides, this yellow gold style curb chain by Almaas Diamond is giving a subtle sign of luxury.
2. Figaro Chain
Figaro chain is known for its elongated chain links that curb chain does not have.
Similarly, figaro chain sits flat around the neck and it comfortable for all day wear.
This model is wearing a thick figaro chain by MaliMen with a medium chain length.
Silverwow made this elegant thick figaro chain choker with colors peeking through the elongated links so that it is not monotonous.
Moving on, you can add a thin long figaro chain into your necklace layering collection as shared by MachiJewelryShop.
3. Rope Chain
If you prefer textured surface over smooth, then you can go for a rope chain.
The twists on the chain gives a 3D illusion and make it look bigger than it actual is.
You can pair a short thin rope chain with a medium rope chain for a contrasting style as shared by TemperamentsStudio.
4. Ball Chain
Another unique chain necklace that you can consider is the ball chain.
I absolutely adore this Big ol’ Ball Chain design by Personal Fears.
It is a statement piece that gives a rebellious style which awesome for personal expression.
Or, you can rock the medium size “Dog Tag” ball chain by Harlembling with a long chain for movement.
If you prefer a minimal style, then this thin ball chain by Tisawholesale works too.
You can use it for layering, or add a pendant of your choice to complete your look.
5. Mariner
Mariner chain is inspired by the heavy duty chain used to hold an anchor on a ship.
You can choose a large mariner chain like BYZUgoldandslver’s to admire the engineering design of these anchor links.
Dcjewelery designed this dainty medium size mariner chain that adds charm to its wearer.
6. Wheat Chain
Another style of textured chain is the wheat chain.
It consists of small wires woven together into the shape of a bundled wheat.
The unique wheat chain as shared by VVS Jewelry makes an eye-catching necklace to wear on special occasions.
7. Paper Clip
For a modern clean look, the paper clip chain necklace is a good choice.
The elongated chain links with narrow design looks light and effortless on the neck.
This white gold paper clip chain by The GLD Shop looks cool and elegant on the model.
This thicker paper clip chain design by the same owner works well as a statement piece too.
