Men's Chains

1,338 pieces in 19 kinds

“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

1,337 chains, nearly all gold. Two in three that men bought were under 4 mm, and 22 inches led.

Men bought the 10K hollow rope at 2 mm most, 153 in the year. Silver was about two in five of all pieces.

Chains for men, nearly all in real gold or sterling silver: 14K, 10K and 18K gold with a few in 21K and 22K, and .925 silver in many of the same links. Miami Cuban links lead, then tennis and diamond chains, curb, Franco, rope, cable, anchor, box, wheat and moon cut, solid or hollow, from fine chains under 2 mm to statement links past 15 mm.

Buyer's guide

How to buy a men's chain

Pick gold or silver first, then the link, solid or hollow, the width and the length

Settle the metal first. Take 14K gold for a chain that stays on every day, or .925 silver to wear the look for far less. Then choose the link for its job. Wear a Miami Cuban alone, and hang a pendant on a Franco or a rope. Buy solid. Start under 4 mm, as most men here did, and at 22 inches.

Find your chain in ten seconds

Pick a length, a link and a width. The drawing moves; the button shows the chains.

Length

Width

A 2 mm Miami Cuban at 22 inches lands at mid chest, the most bought length here. In solid 14K it weighs about 8 grams. Across every link here, 380 chains come in 22 inches.

Show me the Miami Cuban chains Text this to the desk

Drawn on an average build; a bigger neck sits the same chain higher. Weights are the middle of our own solid 14K listings here, counted September 26, 2026. Nearly every listing shows its width, length and grams; where one does not, ask the desk.

Gold or silver: men's gold chains or sterling silver chains

Buy gold for a chain you will wear for years, because gold does not tarnish. Nearly every chain in this case is gold. The silver chains are a short row of 56. Yet silver was about two in five of the pieces men bought. Sterling darkens with air and sweat, and a cloth brings it back. In gold, take 14K for every day, the karat men chose most here. 10K is harder and a shade paler. The 18K here is mostly wide, heavy Cubans.

Which link: Miami Cuban, rope, Franco, curb or tennis chain

The job picks the link. A Miami Cuban is a flat, tight link made to be worn alone, and more than half the chains here are Cubans. Under a pendant, take a Franco, whose squared links keep the bail facing forward, or a rope, which throws light off every twist. The Cuban and the rope sold the most pieces, then the Franco and the curb. A curb is an open, flatter link that sits low under a collar. Some 140 chains here are tennis chains, a single line of set stones.

Solid or hollow: solid vs hollow chain, and how to tell

Take solid for every day and for any pendant. A hollow chain is gold wrapped around air, and one knock can dent it. Set two 14K Cubans of one width side by side, and the solid one carries about three times the gold. Most chains men bought here were solid. Most of their 10K was hollow, though, and most of their 14K solid. When a title does not say, read the grams, because a hollow chain is light for its width.

Width: how thick a men's chain should be, and its weight in grams

Go thinner than this case suggests. More than half the chains here are 7 mm or wider. Yet two in three that men bought were under 4 mm. The grams climb much faster than the millimeters, so judge a chain by its weight. Picture a solid 14K Cuban at 22 inches. The 3 mm weighs about 15 grams. The 8 mm weighs about 118. The table below runs it width by width, solid against hollow.

Length: what length chain a man should wear, 20, 22 or 24 inches

Let the width set the length. Under 4 mm, men here took 22 inches most. From 4 mm up, 24 led, since a heavier link needs room to lie flat. On most men, 20 inches sits just under the collarbone. Twenty-two reaches the middle of the chest. Twenty-four hangs lower, over a crew neck. Silver buyers took 24 most. Nearly every Cuban is its own listing at one length, so open the one with your inches. Once we cut a chain to your length, it cannot be returned.

Every count on this card is from the 1,337 chains live here on September 26, 2026 and what this page sold in the year to that day; prices are on the listings. Each gram figure is the middle 14K Cuban of that width whose listing names a length, brought to 22 inches.

Questions we get in the store

Are these real gold chains?

Yes. Every gold chain here is listed in real karat gold, from 10K to 22K, and no title says plated or filled. The silver chains are .925 sterling silver. Each listing names its metal.

What length chain should a man wear?

Twenty-two inches on a chain under 4 mm, the length men chose most here. From 4 mm up, take 24, so the heavier link lies flat. Between two lengths, take the longer one, since a chain cut short is final.

How thick should a men's chain be?

Under 4 mm for a chain you wear every day, and that is what most men here chose. For a Cuban you want noticed, take 5 or 6 mm. Anything wider is a heavy piece, so check its grams first.

More questions we get

Should I buy a solid or a hollow chain?

Solid, if it goes on every day or holds a pendant. A hollow link looks as wide for far less gold, but it dents and is hard to repair. Compare the grams of two chains of one width to tell them apart.

Should a man buy a gold or a silver chain?

Gold, if the chain stays on for years, since gold never tarnishes. Silver is .925 sterling, the same links in a white metal, and it darkens until you polish it. Men here bought plenty of both.

Which gold is best for a chain, 10K, 14K or 18K?

14K for every day. It is 58.3 percent gold and hard enough to keep a thin link in shape. 10K holds 41.7 percent gold. It is paler and wears harder. 18K, at 75 percent gold, is the deepest yellow but the softest.

Which chain holds a pendant best?

A solid Franco first, then a solid rope. The Franco lies flat and steady under a bail, and a rope looks full from any side. Stay at 3 mm or more for a heavy piece, and skip hollow links, which a bail wears thin.

Can I return a chain, or have it shortened?

Yes, unless its listing says non-returnable or made to order: fourteen calendar days from delivery, unworn and unaltered, once the desk signs off. It rides our insured label, and the refund policy keeps five percent plus the label. A chain we shorten stays yours.

About this collection
ABOUT THIS COLLECTION

Men's Chains in Gold and Sterling Silver

The facts, from our listings

  • Metal: 14K gold on most, then 10K and 18K, a few in 21K and 22K, and .925 sterling silver.
  • Build: mostly solid; hollow and semi-solid chains say so in the title.
  • Stones: most chains are plain metal; the diamond and tennis chains carry natural or lab-grown diamonds, and some rows are sapphire.
  • Width: 0.45 mm to 37 mm, most between 2.5 mm and 17 mm.
  • Length: 16 to 36 inches on nearly every chain, a few at 40 inches and longer; 22 and 24 inches are offered on the most chains.
  • Stock: each listing says whether the chain is in the case at 47th Street or made to order.

What chain styles are there for men?

Where can I buy a chain in New York City?

At our counter at 64 W 47th Street, in Manhattan's Diamond District, where TraxNYC has sold chains since 2004. Most chains are made to order, so ask on the chat first which ones are in the case; calls and texts to 212-872-9692 are answered from 10 AM ET.

Are the diamond chains natural or lab-grown?

Both, and the listing names the origin where it is on file. A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond grown above ground rather than mined. Our guide to lab-grown and natural diamonds explains the difference, and lab-grown diamond chains have their own page.
