If a little black dress were a jewelry piece, it'd be this dainty chain — delicate, shimmering and understated enough to wear 24/7.


Opt for a dainty gold or silver chain, then add on a few personalized tags or charms to make your stack uniquely yours!


Each chain is handcrafted in our studio and available in top-quality 14k gold fill, sterling silver, rose gold fill, 14k solid gold and 10k solid gold.

Product Details
Dainty cable, width: 1.2mm
Length options: 15-17", 17-19"
Adjustable by 2"
100% USA sourced
Materials
14k Gold Filled
Ease of care: 4/5

A practical balance between cost and quality, our gold-filled pieces have a thick layer of 14k gold, heat and pressure bonded to a high-quality brass core. They contain much more real gold than regular gold-plating.

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!

Sizing Guide
  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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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.)

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.

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.

    Dainty Chain 14k Gold Fill / 19-21″
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Replacement chain for a necklace that means the world to me

    I wear a GLDN necklace everyday with charms for each of the three babies that I've lost. I accidentally broke the chain and was so sad! GLDN sent me a replacement quickly. I love their packaging and how it feels like you are getting something truly special. The chain is delicate and fits the charms that I also bought from GLDN perfectly!

    Solid Gold Fine Cable Chain 10k Solid Gold / 17-19″
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Exactly What I Was Looking For

    I’m so happy with this solid gold necklace chain! The quality is excellent, and I love how simple and timeless the design is. The adjustable length is such a great feature—it makes it easy to style with different necklines and outfits. It goes perfectly with all of my pendants, which makes it extra special since each one holds sentimental meaning for me. The packaging was super cute, and I really appreciated the velvet pouch for safe storage and travel. I will definitely be ordering from them again!

    Beautiful!

    Perfect, light, versatile chain. Thin enough to accommodate tiny charms, but substantial enough to have multiple charms on it.
