Sterling silver chains are a jewellery staple. I’ve been working with them for years at Cat Karma Creations, and let me tell you, they’re versatile little beauties.
Why Sterling Silver Chains Rock
First off, these chains are tough. They can take a beating and still look fab. Plus, they’re hypoallergenic, so even if your skin’s fussy, you’re good to go.
And the shine? Unbeatable. A sterling silver chain catches the light like nothing else. It’s that subtle sparkle that turns heads without trying too hard.
Picking the Perfect Chain
Now, choosing a chain isn’t rocket science, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Length: Think about where you want it to sit. Choker? Mid-chest? Long and layered?
- Width: Delicate or chunky? It’s all about your style.
- Clasp: Lobster clasps are secure, but spring rings are easier to handle.
I’ve seen folks agonise over these choices. But honestly? Trust your gut. You’ll know when you’ve found the right one.
Styling Your Sterling Silver Chain
Here’s where the fun begins. Sterling silver chains are like the Swiss Army knife of jewellery. They go with everything.
For a classic look, try pairing your chain with a simple pendant. Our Opal Moon Necklace is a crowd-pleaser. The sterling silver chain really makes the opal pop.
Or go bold and layer different lengths. Mix in some gemstone bracelets for a boho vibe. It’s all about experimenting.
Taking Care of Your Chain
Sterling silver chains are low maintenance, but they’re not invincible. Here’s the deal:
- Keep it dry. Water’s not your friend here.
- Store it in a cool, dark place. Sunlight can tarnish silver.
- Clean it gently with a soft cloth. No harsh chemicals needed.
Do this, and your chain will keep its shine for years.

Choosing Your Perfect Sterling Silver Chain
Picking a chain isn’t rocket science, but there are a few things to consider:
Length Matters
The right length can make or break your look. Here’s a quick guide:
- 14-16 inches: Choker style, sits at the base of the neck
- 18-20 inches: Most popular, sits at or just below the collarbone
- 22-24 inches: Longer style, sits below the chest
- 30+ inches: Extra long, can be doubled up for layering
Pro tip: Our Opal Moon Necklace comes with an adjustable chain, giving you multiple length options.
Width and Weight
Thinner chains (0.5-1mm) are delicate and perfect for pendants. Thicker chains (2-4mm) make a statement on their own.
Remember, thicker chains are heavier. If you’re not used to wearing jewellery, start with something lighter.
Link Style
There are tons of link styles out there. Here are some popular ones:
- Cable: Classic round links, great for everyday wear
- Box: Square links, modern look
- Rope: Twisted links, catches the light beautifully
- Snake: Smooth and flexible, perfect for delicate pendants
- Figaro: Alternating link sizes, adds interest
We use a variety of chain styles in our pieces, like the delicate cable chain in our Cat and Butterfly Gemstone Necklace.
Styling Your Sterling Silver Chain
The beauty of sterling silver chains is their versatility. Here are some ideas:
Layer It Up
Mix different lengths and styles for a trendy layered look. Try pairing a choker with a longer pendant necklace.
Add a Pendant
A simple chain becomes a statement piece with the right pendant. Our Mother and Baby Birds Necklace is a customer favourite.
Mix Metals
Don’t be afraid to mix sterling silver with gold or rose gold. It adds depth to your look.
Caring for Your Sterling Silver Chain
With a bit of TLC, your sterling silver chain will last for years. Here’s how:
- Store it in a cool, dry place
- Keep it away from chemicals like perfume and cleaning products
- Clean it regularly with a soft cloth
- For deeper cleaning, use a silver polish or a mixture of baking soda and water
FAQs About Sterling Silver Chains
Can I wear my sterling silver chain in the shower?
It’s best to avoid wearing your chain in the shower. Water can tarnish silver over time.
Will my sterling silver chain turn my skin green?
Genuine sterling silver shouldn’t turn your skin green. If it does, it might not be real sterling silver.
How often should I clean my sterling silver chain?
It depends on how often you wear it. A quick polish with a soft cloth after each wear is a good habit.
