What These Chains Are Made Of
Each chain starts with sterling silver, so the base is strong and solid. On top of that sits a thick 18K gold layer at about 2.5 microns. That number just means there is a lot more gold on these chains than on quick gold color pieces you find in basic fashion jewelry. More gold on the surface means richer tone and better staying power.
The result is simple. You get the look of a gold chain around your neck with a price that still leaves room for sneakers, trips, or whatever else you care about.
Miami Cuban, Figaro, Franco And Curb
Miami Cuban chains are the heavy hitters. Rounded links, tight pattern, serious presence. They look right with streetwear, jackets and anything that already has some attitude.
Figaro chains switch the rhythm with one long link after a run of shorter ones. That tiny change makes them more eye catching without being loud.
Franco chains have a squared, almost engineered feel. They look clean and controlled, especially in medium thickness.
Curb chains are the old reliable style. Flat links, easy shine, works with everything from a basic shirt to a blazer. If you have no idea where to start, a curb chain is rarely a bad call.
Length And Width Without The Headache
You do not need a long lesson to pick a chain. Shorter lengths sit higher on the chest and tuck easily under shirts. Medium lengths hit around the middle of the chest and look good over tees. Longer chains sit lower and feel more relaxed and bold.
For width, think about your frame. Slim build. Try a lighter Miami, curb or Figaro that lines the neck without taking over. Broader build. You can move into thicker Miami or Franco chains that match your shoulders and do not look out of place.
Once you find a length and width that feels right, that Gold Vermeil Chain For Men will probably become the thing you grab on your way out the door without even thinking about it.
