Buyer's guide

How to choose a silver mariner chain

Puffed or flat first, then the grams and the length that sit right on you

Choose puffed or flat first. A puffed mariner looks full. The flat mariner lies close to the chest and carries more silver at the same width. Take a 6 mm for every day or under a pendant. Save the 8 mm for when the chain is the whole look. Ask us the grams at your length before you pay.

The link: what a mariner chain is, mariner vs anchor link

A mariner is an oval link with a bar across its middle, the shape of the chain that holds a ship's anchor. Anchor link is the same link under another name. The bar keeps each oval from folding into the next one, so the chain lies smooth and seldom kinks. Every mariner here is 6 mm or wider, and the narrower ones sit on the silver anchor chains page. Set beside a Miami Cuban, a mariner shows open ovals where the Cuban shows a tight flat row, so it reads lighter.

Puffed or flat: puffed mariner chain vs flat mariner chain

Take puffed for a full look, and flat for a chain that hugs the chest. A puffed link is rounded out, so the chain looks full from every side. A hard knock can dent a link, and a dent is hard to fix. The flat mariner is titled Palladium Silver. Its listing describes an alloy of silver and palladium that resists tarnish, so ask the desk whether it carries a stamp.

Grams: how heavy a silver mariner chain is

Read the grams, not the width. The flat chain lists 36 grams. It comes in one length, 24 inches. That is the highest weight any listing here prints, and it is not the widest chain. The wider chain lists 31.3 grams. The narrower one lists 22.5. Neither says which of its four lengths was weighed, so ask before you compare. The Puffed Mariner Link lists no weight on its page, and we will weigh it at your length.

Pendant: can a mariner chain hold a pendant

Yes. The listing for the Puffed Mariner Link says it carries a pendant and still looks full behind it. Measure the bail first. Its opening has to pass over the link, and a puffed link stands taller than a flat one of the same width. The flat mariner keeps a pendant close to the chest. The 8 mm needs the widest bail, and it looks as good bare, where the ovals are the show. Pieces to hang are on men's silver pendants.

Length: what length silver mariner chain to wear

Start at 24 inches. Every mariner here comes in it, and the flat one comes in nothing else. A wide link looks better lower on the chest than tight at the collar, so go shorter only for that close look. The two titled .925 go down to 18 inches. The Puffed Mariner Link starts at 20. For a length the menu skips or a different clasp, the live chat answers first, and a person picks up when you call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET. A chain shortened or lengthened for you cannot come back, so settle the inches first.

Questions we get in the store

Is a silver mariner chain real sterling silver?

Three of these are .925 silver by their listings, the sterling standard. The flat one is titled Palladium Silver, an alloy its listing puts at over 90 percent silver with palladium added. Ask the desk whether it is stamped.

Can I layer a mariner chain with another chain?

Yes. Wear the mariner lowest, at 24 inches, with a thinner chain two inches or more above it, so the ovals stay in view. Every mariner here but the flat one also comes at 20 and 22, to sit above a longer chain.

What does a silver mariner chain weigh?

The flat chain lists 36 grams, the highest weight printed here. The wider chain lists 31.3 grams. Ask us to weigh the Puffed Mariner Link at your length.

What is the difference between a mariner and an anchor chain?

None in the link itself, an oval with a bar across its middle. This store sells the wide ones as mariner and the narrower ones on the silver anchor chains page, so pick by width.

Can I hang a pendant on a mariner chain?

Yes, on any of them. Check that the bail opening passes over the link, since a puffed link stands taller than a flat one, and the 8 mm needs the widest bail. The desk can measure both before you buy.

What length mariner chain should a man wear?

Start at 24 inches. Every mariner here comes in that length, and the flat one in no other. Go shorter only if you want the chain near the collar. The two titled .925 go down to 18.

Does a silver mariner chain tarnish?

Yes, in time. Sweat and open air turn silver dark, and a minute with a polishing cloth clears it. The flat chain's listing says its alloy resists tarnish. Dry the chain after a shower and store it in a closed pouch.

Can I return a silver mariner chain?

Yes, inside fourteen days of confirmed delivery, unworn and unaltered with its box. Message customer service first at service@traxnyc.com or 212-391-3832, and use the return label it issues. Five percent restocking and the return label come off the refund. A chain cut to new inches stays yours.
