Curb Chains

What Are Curb Chains and When to Wear Them?

What Curb Chains Are and How They're Built

A curb chain consists of uniform oval or round links that lie flat against each other in a parallel orientation. The links are twisted during manufacturing so the chain sits flat when worn. Curb chains are one of the oldest and most durable chain constructions in fine jewelry, known for their clean flat profile, reliable strength, and versatility across pendant and solo necklace wear.

Gold Curb Chains

Gold curb chains are available in 10k, 14k, and 18k across yellow, white, and rose finishes. 14k yellow gold curb chains are the most widely purchased because the warmth of yellow gold suits the curb pattern's clean, substantial appearance. At wider gauges of 4mm to 8mm, gold curb chains read as bold statement pieces. Narrower options at 1.5mm to 3mm suit pendant pairing and everyday wear.

Sterling Silver Curb Chains

925 sterling silver curb chains are available in a wide range of widths, from fine 1mm designs through heavy statement gauges above 8mm. Sterling silver curb chains are the most popular heavy gauge chain format in accessible fine jewelry because the thick construction looks impressive at a far lower cost than equivalent gold. Sterling silver requires periodic polishing to manage tarnish. For the full sterling silver chain range, browse silver chains.
