If you've had a chain go dull or snap within a month, start here. This chunky cable chain is 6mm wide. Cable is the simplest chain there is: matching oval links, each turned to sit at a right angle to the next. It's made from 316L stainless steel. We cut it to the length you order in our UK workshop and finish it by hand.

It's non tarnish and water resistant, and 316L stainless steel is hypoallergenic for most users. It fastens with a lobster clasp, which we fit ourselves.

It comes in lengths from 16" (41cm) to 26" (66cm) in 2" steps, with an optional 4" (10cm) extender chain. Measure an old chain you like the length of, and use that as your guide. It works with a T-shirt and under an open collar alike.
