There are so many choices when it comes to chain necklaces that it can be daunting — from styles to lengths to metal types — but we make it easy to find the perfect chain. Here are our top 5 picks for 2022 (and beyond, because these do not go out of style). We have a huge selection in a range of prices, so there’s really something for everyone.
One thing we love about chains is that they’re very unisex. You don’t really have to worry about chains for men or chains for women — we’re seeing men wear shorter chains traditionally for women, and women wearing thicker, heavier chains traditionally for men. You can really just wear what you want!
Chains are more popular than ever right now, and celebrities like Timotheé Chalamet, Brad Pitt, and Kanye West have been rocking the trend for a while. Female stars we see wearing chains include Kendall Jenner, Cardi B, and Reese Witherspoon, just to name just a few.
Without further ado, here are our top 5 favorite chains right now.
1. Miami Cuban Chain in 14k Yellow Gold
If you want a super high-quality, classic chain, this is your go-to. You can feel the weight of the real gold. It’s an investment you can wear.
2. Sterling Silver Figaro Necklace
This affordable silver chain is a more understated look you can wear every day.
3. Herringbone Necklace in Vermeil 14k Yellow Gold
We’re in love with this on-trend chain. It has a retro flair that makes us want to hit the disco (although the office will do). It’s really fun and surprisingly versatile. And because it’s made with vermeil (gold-plated silver), it won’t break the bank.
4. Curb Chain in 14k White Gold
If you want a high-quality gold chain but don’t want a lot of bling, 14k white gold is a great option.
5. Paper Clip Chain in Vermeil 14k Yellow Gold
Paper clip chains are the trend you’ve probably been hearing about lately. We love how you can wear this one backwards so the clasp is in the front — a huge trend we don’t see going anywhere anytime soon. Because this chain is vermeil (gold-plated silver), it’s more affordable.
Not sure how to wear chains? Here are just a few styling ideas!
- Wear with a simple T-shirt for a dressed-down look.
- Layer with other chains or pendants.
- Mix and match with pearls for a classic yet on-trend look.
- Dress up with a diamond pendant and wear for a night out.
- Don’t forget other jewelry like bracelets, earrings, and rings. Chain bracelets are totally in style and perfect for wearing solo or layering. Stick to the same metal type, or break the rules and mix. Add in a gemstone ring for a pop of color.
Shop all our chains, and find one (or two!) perfect for you.
