What Dudes Like In Mens Chains
by Theodore G.
Men’s chains have always been popular from the disco era of the seventies to the hip hop era of big dookie gold chains. Classic links like mens curb link chains, mens 14k rope chains, men’s Gucci chains and mens figaro chains to name a few. Mens gold chains in these basic links have always been worn by themselves or with pendants or dog tags attached. Mens chain links are now more popular in white gold than in yellow and there has been some movement away from these basic gold chains for men to more streamlined links like the modified box links that David Yurman uses. These type of links are more cylindrical and move about the neck more freely rather than sitting flat like a figaro does.
Other popular chains for men include bizantine. This has always been a masculine chain. It’s square profile and limited flexibility has made it a great men chain to wear by itself. It’s a little stiff but has great body and lays in a nice loop without flopping all over the place like regular chain links do. It’s also great for pendants though the pendant should be an attention grabber because the business of the bizantine’s link structure can take away from the impact of dog tag or pendant that is small and has muted styling.
Rope and the more popular diamond cut rope chain is a classic in all guages. It is masculine yet subtle enough for charms and dog tags that are not very loud. Simple dog tags look great on rope chain. The big dookie hollow rope chains are out and have been out for a long time. They do look rather stupid. Silver chains for men are now the big thing because the price of gold is so high. Diamond cut rope chains that are rhodiumed look a lot like white gold till you actually hold them in your hand and then the weight gives it away.
Mens silver chain like the solid rolo is a great all purpose mens necklace. It is flexible and doesn’t catch on chest hair like the bizantine and rope can. It also cannot be broken by bending because it is a link chain. It is more masculine in the larger gauges and simple in style so it doesn’t overwhelm the charm or dog tag that is being showcased. other mens silver chains like the round wheat and the cable are great looking chains for hanging any pendant. The styles are both understated yet they can be worn by themselves and still look good. The great thing about sterling silver mens chains is that you will never have to resort to a hollow version of your favourite link because the solid gold necklaces are too pricey. Sterling Silver is inexpensive enough that large gauge wheat, rope and rolo style mens necklaces can still be bought at reasonable prices in the $200 to $400 range.
Titanium mens chains and stainless steel mens chains necklaces and even bracelets have become popular alternatives to white gold necklaces for men. Sometimes the bright, off white look of silver doesn’t seem masculine enough and so many men end up purchasing the stainless steel chains not because they are cheaper but because the grayer metal tones seem more masculine and attractive.
