Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Byzantine chain?
Byzantine chains (also called King's braid or box chains) feature a complex woven pattern of interlocking oval links folded back on themselves — one of the oldest and most ornate chain styles in jewellery history.
What length sterling silver chain should I buy?
16" sits at the collarbone, 18" is the most popular all-purpose length, 20"–22" falls at the chest, and 24"+ creates a long layered look.
Is this chain solid sterling silver?
Yes — solid .925 sterling silver throughout. The hollow construction keeps it lightweight while maintaining its beautiful volume.
How do I care for a sterling silver chain?
Store in a dry, airtight pouch when not wearing. Clean with a soft silver polishing cloth. Avoid contact with chlorine, perfume, and lotions.
Styling Tips
The Byzantine chain is bold enough to wear alone as a statement necklace. Its 3.7mm width also pairs beautifully with a large pendant or locket. Works equally well for men and women — a true unisex classic.
