Silver Franco chains in .925 sterling silver. The Franco is a tight, square link with four sides, so a pendant hangs straight and the chain keeps its shape. Here the widths run from a fine 1.2 mm to 5.4 mm, most with solid links and a few with light links, in lengths from 16 to 28 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

13 silver Franco chains, 1.2 to 5.4 mm, all .925. Thin for a light pendant, 4 mm up to wear one alone.

The fine 1.2 mm Franco was bought most in the year, 137 pieces, and the solid 2.4 mm came next with 48.

Buyer's guide

How to choose a silver Franco chain

Pick the width for your pendant or the look, then the length

Choose the width by the job first. Keep under 3 mm for a light pendant or a chain you never take off, and go wider when the Franco is the whole look. Buy solid if a pendant will hang on it. Every chain here is .925 silver. Each listing shows the grams at the length you pick.

Width: what width silver Franco chain to buy, thin or thick

Stay below 3 mm for daily wear or a small pendant, and go 4 mm or wider to wear the Franco on its own. The chains here run from 1.2 to 5.4 mm. Buyers went thin. More than half the pieces sold in the year were under 3 mm, and the fine 1.2 mm alone was 137 of the 393. The wider ones went out less often but carry far more silver, so the solid 3.7 mm took the largest share of the year's sales.

Pendant: which silver Franco chain holds a pendant

A Franco is one of the best chains for a pendant. Its tight square weave keeps the bail from turning. Match the chain to the pendant's grams. A small piece under about 10 grams sits well on a thin chain. A pendant of 30 grams and up needs a solid Franco at 4 mm or wider, since weight pulls a thin chain into a sharp V. The bail has to clear the clasp too. For a pendant you own, send its grams or item number through the live chat and we will name the chain that fits. Which chain for a pendant has the full rule.

Grams: how much a silver Franco chain weighs

Width sets the grams per inch. Double it and the silver goes up about four times, since the link grows both ways. At 24 inches the 1.2 mm weighs 4.3 grams and the solid 2.4 mm 18.3. Length adds the rest. On the ten listed in several lengths, the grams change as you pick a length, and the listing names the length weighed. The solid 2.4 mm runs from 13.7 grams at 18 inches to 20 at 26. Here they run from 3.2 to 74 grams.

Length: how long a silver Franco chain should be, 22 or 24 inches

Take 24 inches first, the length silver Franco buyers chose most, with 22 next. Most of these chains come in both. Twenty inches sits near the collar on most men, and a pendant wants the extra inches to rest on the chest. The fine 1.2 mm runs to 28 inches, and the 1.9 mm comes at 16 only. A Franco shortened or extended to order cannot be returned, so settle the inches first in the live chat, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET.

Questions we get in the store

Will a silver Franco chain hold my pendant?

Yes, at the right width, since the tight square weave keeps a bail from spinning. Go thin for a light piece, and solid at 4 mm or wider for 30 grams and up. Send us its grams or item number to check the fit.

Is a silver Franco chain real silver?

Yes. Every chain here is listed .925 silver, which is sterling, 92.5 percent pure silver with a little copper so the links stay strong. Pure silver is too soft to hold up as a chain you wear every day.

Is the listed weight for the length I pick?

Yes. On the ten chains listed in several lengths, the grams change as you pick a length, and the listing names the length weighed. The other three come in one length. Ask the live chat if a gram or two matters to you.

More questions we get

What width silver Franco chain should I buy?

Below 3 mm for daily wear or a small pendant, which is where more than half the pieces sold in the year went. Wear 4 mm or wider when the Franco stands alone. The fine 1.2 mm was the single piece bought most.

What length silver Franco chain should a man wear?

Start at 24 inches, the length silver Franco buyers took most, then 22. Most chains here offer both. Add a couple of inches for a pendant, so it lands on the chest rather than at the collar.

Does a silver Franco chain tarnish, and how do I clean it?

Yes, sterling darkens slowly with air and sweat, and a polishing cloth brings it back. The dense weave can trap soap and lotion, so rinse it in warm water, dry it fully and keep it in a closed pouch.

Can I return a silver Franco chain?

Yes, within fourteen days of the day it arrives, unworn, unaltered and boxed. Clear it with the desk first, and it travels back on our return label. Five percent restocking and that label come off the refund. A shortened or lengthened chain is final.

How much is a silver Franco chain?

Each listing prints its own price, and it moves with the width and the length you choose. To ask about one piece, open the live chat, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET.
