Buyer's guide
How to buy a men's moon cut chain
Gold or sterling first, then the width, then the length at the neck
Decide gold or sterling before anything else. In gold, take 14K yellow at 2 to 3 mm. That thin bead chain is what moon cut buyers wear here, alone or under a light pendant. In sterling, go a size wider, because the wider silver outsells every other chain here. Then take 22 inches, the length bought most. Ask the desk whether yours is stocked or made for you.

Questions we get at the counter
What is a moon cut chain?
A moon cut chain is a line of small round beads, each ground with flat faces and linked to the next. It lies slim and round with no wrong side, and it flashes as you move. Three chains here are diamond cut as well.
How thick should a men's moon cut chain be?
Wear 2 to 3 mm in gold and 4 mm in silver. Nearly every gold moon cut bought here was 3 mm or under, worn alone or under a light pendant. The silver 4 mm is the chain sold most.
What length moon cut chain should a man wear?
Take 22 inches, the length moon cut buyers chose most. Twenty-four is the next pick, and 18 runs third for a chain that sits up at the collar. For where each inch sits on the body, see the men's gold chains guide.
Are these moon cut chains real gold?
Yes, 19 of the 23 are gold, and each listing names its karat, 14K or 10K. The other four are .925 sterling silver. No listing says plated. Set the Metal filter to see one karat or the silver alone.
Should I buy a 10K, 14K or silver moon cut chain?
Buy 14K for a chain you mean to wear for years, the karat that took most of the money here. 10K is harder and paler, and here it stops at 3 mm. Silver is the same bead chain for far less, and it outsells both.
Is a moon cut chain solid or hollow, and does it break?
No listing here says hollow, and five say solid. The rest say neither, so read the grams or ask the desk. A bead chain gives at the neck between two beads when it is yanked, so keep a thin one under a light pendant.
What does a moon cut chain weigh?
It goes by the width. A 14K moon cut lists about 7 grams at 2 mm. At 4 mm it lists 26 to 28 grams, because weight climbs faster than width. Most listings print one weight for several lengths, so ask which length it covers.
What is the difference between a diamond cut and a moon cut chain?
Moon cut is the link, round beads with flat faces. Diamond cut is a finish on top, the flats cut again and sharper, so the chain flashes harder. No stone is involved. The three chains here that carry both names are all 14K.
