Belcher Chains

If you want a chain that looks simple and strong, a Belcher is the one. It's the classic British chain: round, even links, each one joined to the next, with nothing fancy going on. Ours are 316L stainless steel, in silver or 18k gold plated, cut to the length you order and finished by hand in our UK workshop, and they won't tarnish.

They run from a fine 2mm up to a heavy 12mm. Necklaces come in lengths from 16" to 26", and bracelets in 7.5" or 8.5", both with an optional extender. Hold a ruler up in the mirror to see a width before you pick.

Looking for one finish? Go straight to gold Belcher chains or silver Belcher chains. A plain Belcher is also a good chain to hang a pendant on later.

Belcher Chains: your questions answered

What is a Belcher chain?

A classic British chain of round, even links, each one joined to the next. It's plain, strong and easy to wear every day.

Is the gold real?

No. It's 316L stainless steel with an 18k gold plating, so it's water resistant and non tarnish.

Can I wear it in the shower or at the gym?

Yes. It's water resistant, so showers and sweat won't hurt it. After the sea or a pool, rinse it in fresh water and dry it.

How do I measure for a necklace or bracelet?

For a necklace, wrap string where you'd like it to sit and measure it flat. For a bracelet, wrap a strip of paper around your wrist where you'd wear it. Then choose the nearest size.
