Questions we get in the store
What is a Franco chain, and how is it different from a box chain?
A Franco is a woven chain of V-shaped links folded into each other from four sides, so it wears as a dense square rod that lies flat. A box chain is a string of single square links, open where the Franco is dense.
Solid or hollow Franco chain: which should I buy?
Buy solid if a pendant will hang from it or it never comes off your neck. Hollow gives you the same width for less gold, but it can dent. At one width, a solid Franco here carries two to three times the gold.
How thick should a men's Franco chain be?
Two to 3 mm is the everyday Franco. Go under 2 mm to carry a light pendant or to layer. Wear 4 mm or more on its own. Most men here bought a Franco under 3 mm.
More questions we get
What does a gold Franco chain weigh?
The width decides it more than anything. A 14K solid weighs about 10 grams at 2 mm on a 20 inch chain. The 6 mm round solid lists 113 grams. Hollow weighs far less. Ask which length a listed weight covers.
10K, 14K or 18K gold Franco chain, or silver: which should I buy?
Take 14K, the karat most gold Franco buyers chose here. 10K is the entry gold and nearly always hollow. 18K is the heavy solid end. Silver sold most by the piece; buy it for the look.
What length Franco chain should a man wear?
Twenty-two or 24 inches suits most men, the two lengths bought most here and bought about equally. Gold buyers often went shorter, to 20. Go longer when a pendant should rest on the chest instead of the collar.
Will a Franco chain hold a pendant or a cross?
Yes, it is one of the best links for it, because the square weave keeps a bail straight and resists twisting. Buy it solid and match the width to the pendant. The men's pendants guide covers the weight.
Can I return a Franco chain, or have it shortened or extended?
Yes. Write to the live chat inside fourteen calendar days from delivery, or reach 212-872-9692 by phone or text from 10 AM ET, and an unworn, unaltered Franco goes back on our insured label. We keep five percent for restocking, plus that label. The desk shortens or extends on request, but an altered chain is final.
