Silver anchor link chains in .925 sterling silver: the oval link with a bar across the middle, also called the mariner link. Here they run from a fine 2.4 mm to a bold 5.2 mm, in lengths from 18 to 24 inches.

“Buy jewelry you fall in love with: something that makes you happy every time you put it on.” Trax, at the jewelry store on 47th Street

Three .925 silver anchors: the fine 2.4 mm for a pendant, the 5.2 mm to wear on its own.

The 2.4 mm was nine in ten of what these three sold in the year. Mariner is the same link, made wider.

Buyer's guide

How to buy a silver anchor link chain

Pick the width by its job, a fine anchor under a pendant or a wide one worn by itself

Match the width to the job the chain will do. The fine 2.4 mm carries a light pendant, and it was about nine in ten of what the three chains here sold in the year. The 5.2 mm is the one to wear by itself, and a 2.9 mm sits between them. All three are .925 silver, the sterling standard, and the live chat will give you the grams at your length.

Four picks from this page

Silver Anchor Chain, 2.4 mmSold most here in the year, 60 pieces. Fine enough for a light pendant, 7 grams listed.

Silver Anchor Chain, 5.2 mmSold second most of these three in the year. The wide one to wear alone, listed as solid.

Silver Anchor Chain, 2.9 mmThe middle width, in every length from 18 to 24 inches. Ask its grams before you pay.

Anchor or mariner: what an anchor link chain is, and the mariner name

An anchor chain is a run of oval links, each with a short bar set across its middle. The bar comes from old ship's chain, and it stiffens each link so the chain lies flatter and kinks less (general knowledge). A cable is that same oval with no bar. Mariner is one more name for the barred link. The silver mariners have their own page, where they run wider, 6 to 8 mm. The barred link in gold sits with the men's anchor and cable chains.

Width: which silver anchor chain width to buy, 2.4, 2.9 or 5.2 mm

Take the 2.4 mm for a pendant and the 5.2 mm to wear the chain alone. The 2.4 mm is fine and light, and buyers took it far more than the other two. Hang something small on it, a little cross or an initial. The 5.2 mm reads from across a room, and its description says it takes a pendant too. The 2.9 mm sits between, for a link you can see without a wide chain.

Weight and build: how heavy a silver anchor chain is

Go by the grams as much as the width. The 2.4 mm lists 7 grams. The 5.2 mm lists 43.5, about six times as much. Neither weight names a length, so ask which inches it covers. Both of those descriptions say solid silver. For the 2.9 mm's grams at your length, ask the live chat before you pay. For width without the weight, the 6.0 and 8.0 mm silver mariners call their links puffed.

Length: what length silver anchor chain to wear, 18 to 24 inches

Take 20 or 22 inches under a pendant, and 18 to keep the chain at the collarbone. The 2.4 mm and the 2.9 mm come in 18, 20, 22 and 24 inches. The 5.2 mm stops at 22. On the 2.4 mm, 18 and 22 inches sold most in the year. On most men 20 lands below the collarbone, 22 at mid chest, 24 lower still (general knowledge). For a length the menu skips or another lock, the live chat answers first, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET. A chain cut to your inches is final sale.

Care and returns: does a silver anchor chain tarnish, and can it come back

Yes, sterling darkens with time, and a polishing cloth brings the shine back. Sweat and pool water speed it up, so take it off to swim. You have fourteen days after delivery to send back a chain that is unworn and unaltered. Clear it with customer service at service@traxnyc.com or 212-391-3832 before it ships, so it rides a label the store issues. A five percent restocking charge and that label's cost come out of the refund. A chain shortened or lengthened for you stays sold.

Questions we get in the store

Is an anchor chain the same as a mariner chain?

Yes, mariner is a second name for the anchor link, an oval with a bar across it. The silver anchors here run 2.4 to 5.2 mm, and the wider silver mariners, 6 to 8 mm, have their own page.

Which silver anchor chain is best for a pendant?

The 2.4 mm, for a light pendant, and it sold the most pieces here in the year by a wide margin. For a heavier pendant, step up to the 5.2 mm, whose own description says it pairs with one.

Is a silver anchor chain real .925 sterling silver?

Yes, all three are listed .925 Silver: 92.5 parts in 100 are silver, and that is sterling. The 2.4 mm and 5.2 mm also say solid silver in their descriptions.

What width silver anchor chain should a man wear?

Wear the 5.2 mm when the chain is the whole look, and the 2.4 mm or 2.9 mm under a pendant or an open collar. Past 5.2 mm the same link goes on as the silver mariner, 6 to 8 mm.

What length silver anchor chain should I buy?

Twenty or 22 inches for a pendant, and 18 for a chain at the collarbone. Buyers of the 2.4 mm took 18 and 22 most in the year. The 2.4 mm and 2.9 mm run to 24 inches, and the 5.2 mm stops at 22.

Will a silver anchor chain tarnish?

Yes, sterling darkens over time, faster with sweat and pool water, and a polishing cloth clears it in a minute. Keep it in a closed pouch when you are not wearing it, and take it off before a swim or the gym.

Can a woman wear a silver anchor chain?

Yes, the 2.4 mm is fine enough for a woman's neck, and at 18 inches it lies at the collarbone. For a shorter length than the menu shows, ask the live chat, since a chain cut to size is final sale.

Can I return a silver anchor chain?

Yes, within fourteen days after it arrives, if the chain is unworn and unaltered. Ask customer service first, at service@traxnyc.com or 212-391-3832, and it goes back under our return label. Five percent restocking and that label come off the refund. A shortened or lengthened chain stays sold.
