Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 22".
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 2" more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 3.4" long: count how many fit along your strip.

Chain width
Square links, four tones, one quiet line at the collar.
Atlas held up the sky so others could stand. Most days you do the same without anyone noticing, and this chain works the same way. Its 1.5mm square links lock into a smooth line that sits flat on the skin and shows in small, even flashes. Wear it alone or as the base for a pendant, in silver, gold-tone, rose gold-tone or black, from 18 to 31 inches.
- Does not rust or turn your skin green
- Silver, gold, rose gold or black
- Five lengths, 18 to 31 in
Details & specs
The chain is stainless steel in a box link: small square links that lock into one another and form a smooth, even line. The square profile keeps its shape and does not twist flat as you move. Stainless steel does not rust, so the chain can stay on through showers, training and long days at the beach.
Silver is the natural steel color. Gold-tone, rose gold-tone and black are electroplated finishes, and we say it plainly. At 1.5mm wide the chain stays slim enough to hide under a shirt and strong enough to hold a pendant. A lobster clasp closes it at the back of the neck, and it comes as a chain alone.
How to wear it
With a white tee, an 18" or 20" sits near the collarbone and draws a clean line at the neck. Under a shirt with one or two buttons open, the same length shows a little without shouting. From 24" and up, the chain falls onto the chest and carries a pendant over a crewneck or a knit. Match the tone to your watch: black with dark steel, rose gold-tone with warm leather.
Choosing your size
Five lengths: 18" (45cm) sits at the base of the neck, 20" (50cm) just below the collarbone and suits most men, 24" (60cm) rests on the chest, and 28" (70cm) and 31" (80cm) hang low for a long drop. For a pendant, choose 24" or longer so it lands mid-chest rather than at the throat. If he is broad through the neck and shoulders, go one length up.

Questions
Is the 1.5mm box chain fine in salt water in all four tones?
Yes. The stainless steel does not rust in any of the tones. Silver is bare steel; on the gold-tone, rose gold-tone and black, a rinse in fresh water after the sea keeps the electroplated color even.
Which length of the 1.5mm box chain puts a pendant at mid-chest?
24" (60cm) or longer. At 18" or 20" a pendant sits near the throat; from 24" it lands on the chest, and 28" or 31" give a longer drop.
Which tone of the 1.5mm box chain matches a steel watch or a leather strap?
Match the chain to the watch: silver with a steel case, black with dark steel, gold-tone with a gold-tone watch, and rose gold-tone with warm leather. Silver is the natural steel; the three other tones are electroplated.
How does a 1.5mm chain look on the neck?
Slim and precise: a thin, even line that hides under a shirt and shows clearly against skin with a tee. It reads as a detail rather than a statement.
Who is the 31 in length for?
31 in (80cm) hangs low on the chest, for a long pendant drop or for layering under shorter chains.
Is the rose gold-tone plated?
Yes. Gold-tone, rose gold-tone and black are all electroplated finishes; silver is the natural steel.
Box chain or rope chain for a pendant?
The box chain. Its square links keep a straight, even line, so the pendant stays the focus, while a rope adds texture of its own.
Is the 1.5mm box chain a good gift for a brother or a son?
Yes. It is a quiet chain that works at the office, at dinner and on the weekend. If you are unsure, pick 20" in the tone of his watch.
