Silver chains are the perfect blend of versatility and timelessness. Whether you're dressing up for a special event or adding that subtle touch to your everyday outfit, a Phillip Gavriel silver chain is always the right choice. Crafted from high-quality 925 sterling silver, our chains are designed to be as enduring as your personal style. Here’s everything you need to know about picking the perfect silver chain for you:
How Do I Choose the Right Length for My Silver Chain?
When choosing a chain length, it's all about how you want to wear it. A shorter, 16- to 18-inch chain goes great with a v-neck or scoop-neck top, while a longer chain pairs well with a high neck or turtleneck. If you want to layer multiple necklaces, choose a variety of lengths to create a visually interesting, tiered effect. If you're unsure of your preferred fit, our necklace sizing chart will show you where each chain length typically falls.. And if you care curious about lengths for men, most wear a 22” or 24” chain comfortably.
What Style of Silver Chain Should I Wear?
Silver chains come in many styles, and Phillip Gavriels covers all the iconic looks, each with updated details to keep our styles modern and on trend. Our Italian Cable chains are classic and simple (perfect for everyday wear), and feature an oval or round link design. Woven Chains are intricately designed using interlaced or braided links to create their woven appearance, and these are great for a more elegant touch. Popcorn Chains consist of dome-shaped links connected in a continuous, smooth pattern. They offer a unique look with a three-dimensional texture. We also offer several different open link style chains which create bold statements when worn all on their own.
The type of silver chain you should wear depends on your personal preference and the intended occasion. Our Del Corso Cable Link necklace is the perfect starter chain for an everyday piece, with small details that elevate the look.
How Should I Care for My Silver Chain?
Caring for your silver chain properly will preserve its shine and help prevent any tarnish. For routine cleaning, use a polishing cloth to rub the necklace clean. Avoid exposing it to harsh or extreme conditions, such as high heat and humidity. You can also store your silver chain in a pouch or airtight container to help prevent tarnishing. At Phillip Gavriel, our Sterling silver pieces are plated with rhodium to maintain their shine for longer.
Can I Wear Different Metals With My Silver Chain?
Absolutely! Mixing metals adds a modern, personalized twist to your jewelry game. Sterling silver has cool tones that contrast well with warm gold hues, and balancing the two can create a visually appealing result. You can wear necklaces of different lengths and metals to create a layered look that complements a simple T-shirt and jeans. Another way to add mixed metals to your outfit is by incorporating pieces that already combine silver with other metals, like our Silver & 18K Gold Double Twist Chain Link Necklace, which seamlessly creates a refined, polished look.
