What is the strongest chain for a necklace?
The strongest styles of chains are made up of interlocking links that do not have a bending point, and won't break in twisting or folding. Cable, curb, mariner, Figaro, and rope are just some of the strongest chain styles, especially if they are thick.
What is the extra chain on a necklace called?
The part of the pendant that goes over the chain is called the bail or bale. This holds the piece to the chain. Most bails are attached to a metal pendant. However, some connect directly to a gemstone.
What is the best size chain for a pendant?
I would suggest 0.9mm – 1mm as a good starting point for most lightweight pendants. Looking for the best chain for pendants with a modern and contemporary design? A simple chain (such as a snake or curb) is likely to complement it better as it will provide a clean, unfussy silhouette.
What is the best chain size?
After a measurement is obtained, its a good idea to opt for a necklace size that is at least the second size up from your neck size. For example, if you have an 18 inch neck, you should probably choose a chain length of 20 inches or more. An 18 inch chain would feel too tight.
