Cable Necklaces

What Are Cable Necklaces and When to Use Them?

What Cable Necklaces Are and How They're Styled

Cable necklaces use the cable link construction — oval or round links in alternating orientations — as the primary necklace format. The cable link is the most versatile and widely available chain necklace construction in fine jewelry because its clean, neutral profile suits solo wear, pendant necklaces, and layered stacks with equal ease. Cable necklaces are available in gauges from fine 1mm through substantial 3mm. For the full necklace range, browse necklaces.

Gold Cable Necklaces

Gold cable necklaces are available in 10k, 14k, and 18k across yellow, white, and rose finishes. 14k yellow gold cable necklaces are the most widely purchased because of their versatility and durability. At 1mm to 2mm gauge, a gold cable chain works as a solo everyday piece or as a pendant chain. For the full gold necklace range, browse gold necklaces.

Sterling Silver Cable Necklaces

925 sterling silver cable necklaces provide the same clean alternating oval-link construction at a lower price point than gold. They are among the most accessible fine metal necklaces available. They require periodic polishing to manage tarnish. The cool silver tone suits buyers who prefer a neutral, minimal aesthetic. For the full sterling silver necklace range, browse silver necklaces.
