Gold and silver chains for women in 18k gold and sterling silver

The chain is the foundation of many of your jewelry pieces, so choosing the right one is worthwhile. In our collection, you'll find 18-karat gold and sterling silver chains in various link styles and thicknesses, perfect for wearing alone or showcasing your favorite pendant. We offer delicate and understated chains for everyday wear and more statement pieces for special occasions.

The first thing to consider is the link style, which defines the chain's look, and its thickness, which affects its durability. Next is the length: shorter chains sit close to the neck, medium lengths are the most versatile for everyday wear, and longer chains allow the pendant to drape over the chest. If you're unsure, think about how and with what you usually wear it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between chain types depending on the link shape?
As well as the link shape, the chain’s shine and volume also change. Forçat (forsat) chains are the classic, highly versatile basic style with balanced, medium shine; Bilbao is strong and durable like forçat but with more elongated links; rolo has round links and offers medium-to-high shine; Venetian is geometric and minimalist with a clean, even shine; Figaro is a durable design that alternates long and short links; Singapore is twisted and stands out for lots of sparkle and movement; and curb (barbada) is flat and bevelled, with a pronounced mirror effect.
What is the ideal length for a women’s chain?
For a modern look worn close to the neck, or for layering with other chains or chokers, 40–45 cm is ideal. If you prefer a mid-length drop to add pendants and show them off, choose 50 cm. Finally, go for longer lengths such as 60 cm to give the piece more presence, creating a looser, more statement style.
Are the chains in our catalogue suitable for pendants?
Yes. Forçat, Bilbao and Venetian chains are excellent bases for pendants. Check the pendant bail diameter and the chain thickness.
What thickness is recommended for everyday wear?
For everyday wear, choose a fine or medium thickness: it is comfortable, durable and lightweight. If you plan to add heavier pendants, go up a thickness level to distribute the weight better and keep the pendant stable and centred — helping prevent wear or deformation.
What clasps do the chains use?
Mainly spring ring or lobster clasps — both secure and easy to use.
How do I clean and care for my chain?
Avoid water, chlorine, perfume and creams to preserve the shine and keep it in perfect condition. Use a soft polishing cloth and store the piece separately in its pouch or case.
¿Cómo elegir cadenas de oro o plata según mi estilo?
Elegir una cadena de oro o plata depende del estilo que busques y de cómo quieras combinarla. Las cadenas finas y cortas, de 40 o 45 cm, son ideales para looks discretos y para combinar con colgantes pequeños. Las cadenas más largas, como las de 60 cm, aportan más presencia y funcionan muy bien en estilismos superpuestos. En JOSE LUIS Joyerías encontrarás cadenas de oro de 18 quilates y cadenas de plata de 1ª ley 925 en diferentes estilos de eslabón, como forzada, rolo, veneciana, singapur o barbada.
¿Cómo combinar mi cadena de oro con los pendientes?
Para lograr un conjunto armonioso, combina tu cadena de oro con pendientes que compartan un estilo similar. Una cadena fina de oro puede acompañarse de pendientes delicados, aros pequeños o diseños con circonitas para un toque de luz. Si la cadena tiene un diseño más marcado, lo mejor es elegir pendientes discretos que equilibren el conjunto. La mezcla de oro amarillo con oro blanco o plata también puede aportar un aire sofisticado y contemporáneo.
