2. The Bold Rope Chain

Meet the ultimate superhero of chains; a rope chain is one of the most common designs for necklaces. The characteristic that sets it apart from other styles is its twisted appearance that resembles the look of a real rope, hence the name of the chain style.

Rope chains have drama built in, so if you want to add some dramatic element to your outfit, simply wear them solo for that bold look! To accentuate the chain style, we suggest that you wear it with a V-neck or low neckline so that the chain can take center stage. 

If you’re considering buying a necklace with a rope chain, then you’d be happy to know that this chain style is extremely durable and strong, owing to its interwoven design. These chains are often known to signify unity and strength.

3. The Chic Box Chain

Wear it solo and you’re already winning! The box chain has square or rectangular links that form a continuous chain. It is one of the most sturdy and geometric chains of all the different chain styles. 

This design is less likely to break in from the middle when compared to other finer chains, as these chains have an angular design, giving them a clean and modern look. 

4. The Sleek Snake Chain

Slithering into your jewelry box with a sleek and sexy style, the snake chain is here! It has tightly coiled small rings or bands that eventually form a smooth, round, or flat surface. Our style tip is to pair it with a sleek, silky top or an off-the-shoulder number to play up its sensuous style!

The only thing you need to care about while buying a snake chain is that these may be prone to kinking and thus need to be handled with care. The modern and sultry look that comes with a snake chain makes them truly irresistible! 

5. The Elegant Wheat Chain

If you’re thinking of buying a wheat chain style, then you must be prepared to look like an absolute diva! A wheat chain has four strands of twisted oval links, resembling the head of a wheat stalk. 

The detailed braiding of the links gives these chains a sophisticated and elegant vibe. Wear it with elegant eveningwear, like a glamorous gown or a statement cocktail dress, to match its sophisticated vibe!

6. The Glamorous Byzantine Chain

Byzantine chains, also popularly known as cubic chains, are a time capsule in jewelry form! The chain has a braided effect that gives it an old-school charm and a vintage feel. They are complex, with interlocking oval or round links that create a unique textured look. 

This chain style is very sturdy and despite how dainty it looks, it has a strong core. Byzantine chains are often worn as stand-alone jewelry pieces and not layered with other necklaces. But hey, if you want to layer, follow your heart!
