Silver Chains – Its What You Hang From Them
by Patty Buttonweiser
Sterling silver chain is one of the essential basics that help women compose a look for their neck wear. I think we can all agree that Y necklaces are now out and sterling silver chains are now in from inexpensive generic rope and snake chains to Davis Yurman’s proprietary box and curb links. Silver’s combination of being affordable yet precious has gotten the attention of consumers hungry for budget prices jewelry that is not costume. Indeed costume jewelry sales in neck wear have fallen off and one of the reasons is the great looks now available affordable silver chain necklace and pendant combinations. It is all part of a trend where consumers are wanting to purchase products that keep their value over the long term.
Sterling silver jewelry appeals to a wide range of customers from designs that can be simple $20 Y necklaces to designer branded items with gold, gemstone and even diamond accents that run in the thousands of dollars. Something as simple as a link is what forms the basis of many of the designer looks in the necklace category.The iconic brands like Hermes and Gucci have their own style of links that have long been classics and indeed status symbols. These links are considered bold yet elegant and often worn in layered formats as are some of the bib necklaces from David Yurman.
Mens silver chain is one of those categories that for the most part sticks to the classic looks that are bold and classy, yet distinctly masculine in the larger gauges. Take for instance David Yurman’s classic box chain that is a jeweler’s take on the commercial box chain in that it has rounded edges for a rather sleek and svelte look. In the smaller gauges it is worn by women who may not necessarily wear David Yurman’s jewelry but love the look of his basic chain designs. This simple box chain morphs from a delicate, feminine look in the smaller gauges, especially when it is multi layered into a robust man’s all purpose box chain that is sleek yet masculine and robust and goes well with any mens dog tag or pendant. As mens silver chains go, it is one of the hottest designs around. This box link is also used in his mens silver chain bracelet collection and looks stunning in the larger gauges and is the best selling mens bracelet style in David Yurman’s collection.
Silver curb chains are the classic generic type of chain worn by both men and women. It comes in all gauges and is more durable and free flowing than a silver box chain. This link was and still is quite popular among men’s links as are such classic staples as Figaro and Figarucci links. Chain lengths run from the minimum of 16 inches to 20 inches for most women and 20 to 24 inches for most men’s long silver chain. Solid silver chain or 925 silver chain is the standard for silver because the metal itself is inexpensive so there is no reason to make a hollow version in silver unless it for stylistic purposes.
