A box chain is made of small square links joined edge to edge, so it lies smooth and square on the neck. Ours are mostly 14K gold in yellow, white or rose: fine classic box chains from 0.45 mm to 1.6 mm, made for a pendant, and round box links from 1.5 mm to over 6 mm, light or solid, plus a .925 silver slashed box chain.

“With gold, you're always dealing with money. So first decide how much of it you want to put into the gold.” Trax, at the jewelry store on 47th Street

26 pieces, most in 14K gold: the classic box from a 0.45 mm thread to the round box past 6 mm.

The 0.6 mm classic box was bought most in the year, 35 in yellow and 14 more in white.

Buyer's guide

How to choose a gold box chain

Classic box or round box, and how thin a chain for your pendant

Choose the box by its job. A classic box is a fine square chain for a pendant, and the 0.6 mm was the piece bought most here in the year. A round box rounds off every link, so it looks fuller and stands on its own. Read the grams before the millimeters, since the grams are the gold, and take solid for every day. Every gold chain sold on its own here is 14K.

Classic or round: the classic box chain and the round box chain

Take a classic box under a pendant and a round box to wear on its own. The classic box is tiny square links joined edge to edge, so it lies smooth on the neck. All eight here are solid 14K, from a 0.45 mm thread to 1.6 mm. A round box softens every corner, reads fuller and comes much wider, from 1.5 mm to past 6 mm. The 3 mm solid one is diamond cut, faceted so it flashes. A silver chain on its own comes as a slashed box. Four sets arrive with a pendant already on a box chain.

Pendant: the best box chain for a pendant, and how thin to go

A box chain makes a sturdy home for a pendant, because the square links hold their shape and let a bail slide freely. Go by what the pendant weighs. A small charm rides a 0.6 to 0.8 mm classic box. A pendant with some heft wants 1.1 to 1.6 mm, and a heavy medallion belongs on a solid round box of 3 mm or more. Shoppers chose the 0.6 mm over every other width in the year. Before you pay, make sure the clasp end fits through the bail.

Grams: how much a gold box chain weighs, width by width

Read the grams before the width, because the weight is the gold. The 0.6 mm classic is listed at 1.3 grams. The 1.6 mm comes in at 10.5, about eight times the gold for under three times the width. The solid 4.5 mm round box weighs 38 grams at 22.5 inches, and the 5.5 mm about 66 grams at 25. A listing that offers several lengths prints a single weight, so ask the live chat which length it belongs to.

Length and color: an 18, 20 or 24 inch box chain in yellow, white or rose

Take 18 inches to set a pendant at the collarbone, or 20 to let it fall lower. Twenty and 24 are the lengths offered most here. The solid round box chains from 4.5 mm come in one length each, between 22.5 and 27 inches. The desk can shorten or lengthen any of them, and a chain cut or extended for you is final sale. Most pieces are yellow gold. White comes in the 0.6 mm classic and a 2.5 mm round box, and rose in the solid round box from 4.5 mm.

Every count on this card is from the 26 pieces live here on October 13, 2026 and what this page sold in the year to October 12, 2026; prices are on the listings. Grams are each listing's own figure. A listing with several lengths carries one weight, so ask which length it was weighed at, and ask us for the grams on the 6.4 mm.

Questions we get in the store

How many grams is a box chain at my length?

The grams grow with the inches, so a 24-inch chain carries about a third more gold than the same link at 18. A listing with one length prints its exact weight. Where several lengths share one weight, ask the live chat for yours.

What is the widest box chain you have?

A solid round box of 6.4 mm, in yellow or rose 14K, at about 27 inches. The widest classic box is 1.6 mm. For a heavy box link that wears on its own, the solid 4.5 mm is a good place to start.

Can a woman wear these box chains?

Yes. The fine classic boxes here, and the round boxes from 1.5 to 2.5 mm, also sit on our women's chains page. Many of them come in 16 inches, a length that rests at the base of the neck.

More questions we get

Is a box chain strong enough for a pendant?

Yes, it is one of the steadiest chains under a bail. Match it to the pendant. A charm rides 0.6 mm, a pendant with some weight wants 1.1 mm or more, and a heavy medallion needs a solid round box.

Can I layer two box chains?

Yes, a fine classic box pairs well with a second chain. Choose lengths about two inches apart, so each lies on its own line. The 0.8, 1.1 and 1.5 mm classic boxes each come in 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 inches.

Can you shorten or lengthen a box chain?

Yes. The desk takes a box chain up or down to the length you want, and a shorter chain is less gold. Once it has been cut or extended for you, it is final sale and cannot come back.

Can I return a box chain?

Yes, within fourteen days of delivery, unworn, unaltered and in its box, once the desk clears it. It ships back on our return label. The refund comes back less five percent for restocking and that label. A shortened or lengthened chain is final.

How do I keep a fine box chain from tangling?

Close the clasp and hang it, or lay it flat, before you put it away. A thin box can knot in a pouch with other chains. To clean it, swish it in lukewarm water with mild soap, rinse, and dry it with a cloth.

How much is a gold box chain?

Each listing prints its own price, and the grams of 14K and the work in the link decide it. For a length that is not listed, open the live chat, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET.

About this collection
ABOUT THIS COLLECTION

Gold Box Chains in 14K, 0.45mm to 6.4mm

The facts, from our listings

  • Gold: 14K on most, in yellow, white or rose; .925 sterling silver pieces too.
  • Classic box: solid, 0.45 mm to 1.6 mm.
  • Round box: light links from 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm, solid from 3 mm up, the 3 mm diamond cut.
  • Length: 16 to 30 inches; 24 and 20 inches are offered most.
  • Weight: the grams are on every listing, from under a gram on the finest box to over 150 grams on the widest round box.
  • Sets: a few box chains come with a pendant, in 10K gold or silver.

Why is it called a box chain?

Each link is a small square box, open on the sides and joined to the next, so the chain looks like a line of tiny boxes.

Is a box chain good for a pendant?

Yes. A fine classic box, 0.6 mm to 1.6 mm, is made to carry a light pendant; for a heavier piece take a solid round box from 3 mm. Our guide to which chain for a pendant has the widths by weight.

Classic box or round box?

A classic box is square and fine, the chain behind a pendant. A round box rounds each link, so it reads fuller and comes wider, from 1.5 mm to over 6 mm, to wear alone.

For a heavier link in the same square family, see men's Franco chains; every style is on men's gold chains. More box links are in our chain book, made to order with the weight at each length.
