Ease of care: 4/5

The solid gold look without the solid gold price. Our gold fill pieces feature a heavy layer of 14k gold that’s been heat- and pressure-bonded to a jeweler’s brass core. Similar to our gold plating, but with even more durability thanks to the bonding process.

Sterling Silver

Ease of care: 4/5

Solid, precious metal that lasts forever. It darkens with time, but can be polished up. Oils from your skin help prevent silver tarnish... so wear it often!

Want even more details about materials? Check this out.

  1. Find a tool to use (string, dental floss, headphone cord, measuring tape if you have it).
  2. Find the length by wrapping it around your neck and marking it (for pendants, imagine the jewelry lower, for suspended, it should be in line).
  3. Check the length against a ruler or lay it out flat and measure with a phone app.

Alternatively: Measure an existing necklace end to end with a ruler (most accurate) or a phone app (great if you don't have a ruler handy).

    Dainty Chain 14k Gold Fill / 15-17″

    Very Frustrated

    I have now bought this necklace twice. It is beautiful. The first time, I wore is fairly consistently for about 6 weeks. It broke as I was running and swatted a wasp. I purchased for a second time, have wore it minimally for a handful of days and it broke as I was taking it off today with no significant pulling or trauma. This necktie beautiful but expensive and not worth the price if it breaks so quickly. Needing a refund…

    My fav necklace

    This is the second time I purchased this necklace (first one broke) bc I love it and wear it daily. I have my girls initials on disks on it which is an added bonus. It’s dainty and so pretty.

FAQS

All you need to know about the Dainty Chain.

Find answers to our most-asked questions here, from care tips to jewelry options and more.

What does the clasp and extender look like?

This piece features a spring clasp: a small, secure clasp that still looks subtle while wearing! Our extenders are 2" long, and the links are ever-so-slightly larger than the chain links to accommodate the clasp.

What types of pendants go well with a dainty chain necklace?

Any and all! We love adding a tiny charm to our dainty chains, as well as our heart pendants, oval pendants, disk pendants and tag pendants. See all of our available charms and pendants here! 

How can I stack a dainty chain necklace with other pieces?

The key to layering necklace chains is texture and contrast. Since you’re starting with a dainty cable chain, we recommend adding on a chunkier, shorter chain for contrast, or choosing another delicate chain with a different texture. Don’t forget to vary the lengths, too! In general, keep your bolder chains at a shorter length with your daintier necklaces at a longer length—we find this looks more harmonious and balanced.

How do I care for this piece of jewelry?

Since it depends on which metal you chose, see our care tips blog and help center for detailed instructions on how to care for specific metals and gemstones. (Spoiler: all of our pieces require very minimal upkeep and occasional polishing, and can basically be worn 24/7 if you keep them away from harsh cleansers, chlorine and chemicals.)

What are the shipping options for this piece?

It varies based on where you are in the world, and whether the piece is marked made-to-order or ready-to-ship. See our shipping page for specific arrival times.

Can I return this piece? What’s the return policy?

Yes! We have a full happiness guarantee for every piece, even personalized ones See our Return Policies for full info on returns, repairs and exchanges.
