1.3mm Sterling Silver Rhodium Hollow Rolo Link Chain
Classic in form and refined in finish, this 1.3mm Sterling Silver Rhodium Hollow Rolo Link Chain is a versatile everyday necklace built around one of jewellery's most enduring link designs. The rolo (or belcher) link — a series of uniform, round, interlocking rings — has been a staple of fine chain jewellery for centuries. At 1.3mm, it's delicate enough for layering and ideal as a pendant chain.
What Is a Rolo Link Chain?
A rolo chain (also called a belcher chain) features evenly sized, round or slightly flattened links that connect perpendicularly to each other, creating a smooth, uniform drape. The hollow construction at this gauge keeps the chain lightweight while maintaining the characteristic clean, geometric look of the rolo style.

Is a Rolo Chain Good for Charms and Pendants?
Yes — rolo chains are one of the most popular choices for charm bracelets and pendant necklaces because the uniform round links make it easy to attach charms or slides at any point along the chain. The 1.3mm width is elegant and lightweight, making it especially well-suited to fine pendants and lockets.
Hollow vs. Solid — What's the Difference?
A hollow chain is made from tubing rather than solid wire, making it lighter and more flexible while maintaining a fuller visual appearance for its gauge. This makes hollow chains comfortable for all-day wear, particularly at longer lengths where a solid chain of the same apparent width would feel heavy.
Length Guide
16" — Collarbone-length; pairs beautifully with a small pendant or locket.
18" — Classic length; the most popular choice for pendant chains.
20"–22" — Mid-chest; great for layering or longer pendants.
24"–30" — Long lengths; ideal for a relaxed, layered look.
Care Instructions
Store in a soft pouch to prevent tangling. Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, and chlorine. Hollow chains are more delicate than solid — avoid bending or pulling. Wipe gently with a soft cloth to maintain the rhodium finish.
