- Is this chain solid silver or plated?
- It is solid .925 sterling silver, stamped as such, not silver-plated base metal. That means it can be polished and, if needed, repaired rather than wearing through to a core.
- Is 1.75 mm too thin for a man?
- It is on the slim side. At 1.75 mm and about 9.5 g for a 20-inch 2 mm version, it wears like a light everyday chain, not a heavy statement piece. Men wanting visible weight usually go 3 mm and up.
- How does a Franco chain compare to a curb chain?
- Franco links are rounder and interlock in four directions, so the chain stays flat and resists kinking. A curb chain is flatter and wider-faced at the same weight. Franco suits layering; curb shows more surface.
- Will a 26-inch chain fit under a shirt collar?
- Yes, 26 inches typically falls at or just below the collarbone on most adults, so it sits under an open collar. On a smaller frame it may hang lower, closer to the sternum.
- How do I keep sterling silver from tarnishing?
- Store it in a dry, airtight bag away from humidity and sulfur, and wipe it after wear. A silver polishing cloth restores shine; avoid chlorine and harsh cleaners.
- When is the best time to buy silver chains?
