What is a waist chain?

A waist chain, also called a belly chain, is a delicate chain worn around the waist or hips, either over clothing or against the skin. It is a popular form of body jewelry for the beach, festivals, and everyday layering, and it can sit visible or hidden under clothes.

How do I wear and style a waist chain?

Wear a waist chain low on the hips or at the natural waist, against bare skin with crop tops and swimwear, or layered over a fitted dress. For a bolder look, stack two chains at slightly different heights. Choose a beaded or charm style as the focal point.

Are waist chains adjustable, and how do I size one?

Many of our waist chains are adjustable with an extender so they fit a range of waist and hip measurements. To size one, measure around where you want it to sit and add a little ease. Check each product page for the exact length and adjustability.

What metal are the waist chains, and will they tarnish?
