The Ultimate Guide to Men’s Custom Chains
For most men’s chains, 50 cm (20”) is the average length. This falls at the collar bone between the top two buttons on a shirt and looks good inside or outside the shirt. If you’re wearing a pendant necklace, opt for 55-63 cm (22-25”) so the pendant finishes in the middle of your chest.
- 35-45 cm (14-18”) – Quite form-fitting and will be visible above your shirt.
- 50-55 cm (20-22”) – Falls at the collarbone and is the most common size for men’s necklaces. Can be worn inside or outside the shirt.
- 55-61 cm (22-24”) – Falls in the middle of the chest and looks great with a medallion, pendant, or dog tags. Can be worn inside or outside the shirt.
- 61-76 cm (24-30”) – Designed to be worn on the outside of your shirt. Looks best with a larger pendant or a thicker chain. Total attention-grabber.
If you’re only wearing a chain (and aren’t looking for a statement-making necklace), a width of 2-6 mm is a good start. When adding a pendant, make sure it fits the chain and isn’t overpowered by its thickness. If you’re looking for a chunky gold chain necklace that falls in the ‘bling’ category, shop for 12 mm or wider. Chain width and length go hand and hand, so make sure they’re proportional to each other – in other words, no 35 cm (14″) chains with 12 mm width.
- 1-6 mm – This ranges from the discreetly thin to the standard width of most men’s necklaces. Can easily go under your shirt.
- 6-10 mm – This necklace width works well for pendants and chains outside of your shirt.
- 10-X mm – You’ve entered the ‘I wore this to impress’ zone. Necklaces of more than 10 mm (the thickness of recent iPhones) are worn to garner attention.
Most men’s necklaces fall into this type. A chain is a strand of rings, discs, or beads that interlock. While that sounds simple enough, there are countless variations and styles of chain necklaces to choose from… not to mention an array of clasp styles. You’ll want a clasp that supports the weight of the chain and fastens easily (especially if you get dressed alone).
Types Of Custom Chains Necklaces For Men
- Cable Chain – The cable chain is the most popular type of chain necklace for men. It’s created from connecting oval links and resembles an actual chain. Alone, cable chains aren’t the most statement-making necklace on the market, but they’re great for holding a cross, coin, or pendant.
- Curb Chain – Curb chain necklaces are made of links that interlock when they lay flat. You’ll often see thick, chunky curb chains used in street and urban style. Cuban chains or Cuban link chains are popular variations of the curb chain necklace.
- Marine Chain/Anchor Chain – For all the sea lovers out there, the marine chain necklace is inspired by anchor chains used on ships. Each oval link has a horizontal bar across the middle and interlocks like cable chains and lies flat like curb chains.
- Figaro Chain – With its roots in Italy, the Figaro chain gets its name from the title character in The Barber of Seville, a famous Italian opera. This necklace is special because of its pattern of flat oval links. Typically, the pattern is of 1 large link followed by 2-3 shorter links. The Figaro chain necklace is a variation of the curb chain.
- Rope Chain – The rope chain consists of chain links twisted together and resembles a rope. Rope chain necklaces are known for their strength and often used with pendants.
- Wheat Chain – In a wheat chain necklace, oval links are plaited together in the same direction to look like tips of wheat stalks. Wheat chains are often used with pendants.
- Ball Chain – The ball chain (bead chain) is most often used for dog tags and keychains. It consists of ball-shaped links connected with or without small breaks.
- Herringbone Chain – The herringbone chain is a flat necklace characterized by v-shaped links in alternating directions. It’s often confused with an Omega chain which has a similar design but is made from flat pieces in a curved design. Herringbone chains are not as flexible as Omegas and are prone to kink. Both are notorious for pulling and pinching the finer hairs on your neck – a great reason for staying groomed.
- Box Chain – Square links give the box chain its name. Box chain necklaces are found in a variety of widths and great for hanging pendants.
- Snake Chain – A variation of herringbone and omega chains, snake chains are made from tightly connected plates or bands that resemble snakeskin. The result is a smooth, round zig-zag pattern. Known for being delicate, they’re great with pendants.

Production Process
HOW IS JEWELRY MADE? WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF MAKING JEWELRY?
STEP 1: DESIGNING A 3D JEWELRY MODEL
After the initial idea and/or sketch is developed, it’s time to start work on the digital model. Using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, the 3d designer will make a digital render of your jewelry.
STEP 2: 3D WAX PRINTING YOUR JEWELRY
In most modern jewelry production, the manufacturer uses a 3d printing machine to print a wax model made out of resin, which usually doesn’t take more than 48 hours.
The Rubber Mold
The original model is encased in plaster-like investment, which is specially created for jewelry making. After the investment sets, the encased wax model is burned away in an oven, leaving a jewelry-shaped void in the hardened investment. That space is filled with silver, forming a slightly smaller duplicate of the original wax design, which is polished to perfection. The silver master model is then packed into a fat sandwich of special mold rubber and squeezed tight under high heat and pressure until it forms a solid block. The rubber forms itself around the master model, creating a perfect three-dimensional impression of the piece of jewelry. The rubber is cut in half to remove the silver master. Then the rubber is put back together and hot wax is injected through a hole in the rubber to fill the ring-shaped space inside, forming a wax reproduction of the master model (but a bit smaller).
The Wax Tree
To finally turn wax into gold, a number of wax models, usually 10 or 20 are placed on a large branching wax tree. Positioning each piece on the tree must be done carefully, thicker pieces will go on the bottom, thinner on the top and the joint where the piece is joined to each branch must be positioned in a thick place in the design, where there is no detail, like the back of a ring. When the tree is complete, the whole wax structure is placed in a flask.
STEP 3: CASTING THE WAX MODEL INTO METAL
The jewelry goes through the casting process. At this stage, your piece starts looking more like the jewelry you might see in a store. The wax is melted away and is replaced with your metal of choice in molten form, usually gold, silver, or platinum. The metal then dries into the shape of your jewelry. This technique is called “lost wax” casting.
STEP 4: THE PRE-POLISH
First, the jewelry has to be removed from the branch, or sprue, that held it to the tree in the mold. It is then is tumbled into smoothness, sometimes sanded, lapped to make edges crisp, and then buffed by hand on a polishing wheel.
STEP 5: BASIC JEWELRY ASSEMBLY
After your jewelry passes through the design and casting stage, the final fabrication can take anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. At this point, the jeweler refines the main structure of your ring, necklace, or another piece.
STEP 6: THE STONE SETTING PROCESS
For this step, the diamond setter finally adds the diamonds or other gemstones onto your piece. He carefully sets the central stone into the mount. If side stones are involved, the setter needs to hand drill for these before setting. Using a microscope, they then set each separate stone.
STEP 7: POLISHING, FINISHING, AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
In the final stage, a polisher works to make sure the metal is polished to perfection so it’s as shiny as possible. Or it only needs a light final polish to bring out the luster and shine of the gold. This is done by putting a fine red jeweler’s rouge on a soft cotton cloth and buffing the piece by hand, making sure that all the details and highlights shine. Finally, the jewelry is inspected and each detail is analyzed to make sure production was successful.
