Silver Moon Cut Chains

The moon cut: what a silver moon cut chain is, moon cut ball chain, sterling bead chain

A moon cut is a run of tiny sterling balls joined one to the next, each cut all over with small flat facets. Every facet flashes as it turns. Round all through, it has no wrong side. The cut makes the sparkle, not a stone. None of these four titles says diamond cut, the sharper cut on some gold moon cuts in the men's moon cut chains guide.

Width and weight: 2mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm silver moon cut chain, how thick, grams

Take the 4 mm for one chain that does the job alone. It sold the most pieces in the year. The 4.9 mm is the bold one, and the two widest made up about six in ten chains sold. The 3 mm is the everyday middle, and its listing says it carries a pendant well. The 2 mm is the quiet one, light enough to forget.

Weight climbs faster than width. Inch for inch, the 4 mm lists more than three times the silver of the 2 mm. A bead chain is weakest where two balls meet, so hang a heavy pendant on a wide one. The men's pendants guide matches a pendant to its chain.

Length: what length silver moon cut chain, 18, 20, 22 or 24 inches

Match the inches of a chain you already wear. Without one, take 22 inches, which falls past the collarbone on most men. Every chain here goes to 24, and only the 3 mm skips 18. The 2 mm says 22 inches in its title, yet comes in every length. Eighteen sits near the collar, and a pendant hangs better a step longer. The men's gold chains guide shows where each inch lands. A chain cut to a custom length is final sale.

Sterling: is it real .925 silver, solid or hollow, does a silver moon cut tarnish

Yes, all four list .925 silver, which is sterling, usually stamped 925. No listing calls itself plated. The 4.9 mm says solid silver, none of the four says hollow, so ask about the other three. Sterling darkens with air, skin and time. A soft silver cloth lifts it off and the facets come up bright. Take it off before a chlorine pool, and find more care in the men's silver chains guide.
