How to choose your sterling silver chain

Silver is probably one of the most versatile metals in jewellery. Its bright finish works with virtually any colour, it is comfortable enough for everyday wear and it allows you to build your jewellery collection over time without compromising on the quality of sterling silver.
The first thing to decide is what you want the chain for. If you are looking for a base for a pendant, medal or initial charm, fine chains with clean, simple links are usually the best option: they do not compete visually with the pendant and allow the bail to slide on easily. If you would rather make the chain itself the focal point, more substantial links or a mirror-polished finish create greater visual impact.
Layering several chains at once has become increasingly popular. The key is to stagger the lengths, for example combining a 40 cm chain with a 45 cm and a 50 cm chain, and to alternate different thicknesses so that each piece remains distinct rather than overlapping. You can pair a plain chain with another featuring a pendant, and silver also works particularly well alongside jewellery in other metals.
Finally, it is worth knowing that sterling silver may darken slightly over time as a result of contact with air and moisture. This is a normal and reversible process: its original shine can be restored with gentle cleaning and by storing the piece in its case when it is not being worn.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sterling silver or 925 silver?
It is an alloy made from 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, which give it the strength required for jewellery. 100% pure silver would be too soft for a piece designed for everyday wear. It is a widely recognised quality standard in jewellery and is identified by the 925 hallmark.
How can I tell the difference between a sterling silver chain and a silver-plated one?
Check the hallmark. Sterling silver is marked with a 925 stamp, which certifies the metal’s composition. A silver-plated piece only has a surface layer of silver, which wears away over time and eventually reveals the base metal underneath. All the chains in this collection are made from sterling silver, not silver-plated metal.
Why does silver tarnish and how can I clean it?
Tarnishing is a natural reaction between the metal, air and moisture, and it does not indicate a defect or any loss of quality. To restore its shine, gently rub the piece with a specialist silver polishing cloth. To help prevent tarnishing, store the chain in its case and avoid contact with perfume, creams and cleaning products.
How can I wear several silver chains together?
Layer different lengths so that each piece sits at a different height, for example 40, 45 and 50 cm, and combine different thicknesses so that each chain remains visible. A good starting point is to pair a plain chain with another featuring a small pendant, creating a single visual focal point.
Which silver chain should I choose for a pendant?
Chains with clean, simple links, such as cable or box chains, make excellent bases for pendants because the pendant bail can slide over them easily. Check that the diameter of the bail is compatible with the thickness of the chain and, if the pendant is relatively heavy, choose a slightly thicker gauge so that it hangs centrally and securely.
Can sterling silver cause allergies?
Sterling silver is one of the metals that is generally best tolerated in jewellery. Allergic reactions are more commonly associated with nickel found in costume jewellery rather than sterling silver itself. If you have particularly sensitive skin, contact us and we will be happy to advise you.
Can I wear a silver chain every day?
Sterling silver is suitable for everyday wear. Even so, it is advisable to remove your chain before exercising, showering or swimming in a pool, as sweat and chlorine can speed up the tarnishing process.
