FAQ

What chain styles count as dainty?

Fine cable, rope, box, and snake chains are all considered dainty when made in a thin gauge. The slim width is what gives them that delicate, barely-there look.

Are dainty chains strong enough for daily wear?

Yes. Though they look delicate, our chains are crafted for everyday durability. Solid 14k gold and gold-filled options are especially resilient for daily and active wear.

What length is best for a dainty chain necklace?

A 16 to 18 inch chain sits at the collarbone and suits most looks. Mixing a few lengths is the easiest way to build a balanced layered stack.

Will a dainty chain necklace tarnish or get wet?

Solid gold resists tarnish and water well. For gold-plated and sterling silver chains, remove them before showering or swimming and store them dry to protect the finish.

Is a dainty chain necklace hypoallergenic?

Yes. Our chains are made in skin-friendly metals, so they are hypoallergenic and comfortable for sensitive skin even with all-day wear.
