Men's 2.3mm Sterling Silver Rope Chain vs Primal Silver Flat Anchor Curb Chain

Buy the 2.3mm Italian rope for a slim, everyday chain that sits close to the neck and works as a first silver piece or a gift. Buy the 7.4mm flat anchor curb for a bold statement chain with real weight behind it. The rope is light and flexible; the anchor is solid, flat and heavy, so it hangs differently and reads as jewelry rather than a subtle layer. Owners of the rope praise the finish and say it looks better than its class suggests; the anchor is a niche, made-to-order piece with little owner feedback to go on.

• Choose the 2.3mm Italian rope if you want a thin, lightweight chain in several lengths that layers easily and suits daily wear.
• Choose the 7.4mm flat anchor curb if you want a wide, solid, high-polish chain that makes a statement on its own.
