What Is a Rolo Chain?
A rolo chain, also known as a belcher chain, features round or oval interlocking links that are uniform in size and shape. These links are usually thicker and rounder than those in a cable or box chain, giving rolo chains a distinct, bold look.
Because of their structure, rolo link chains are both durable and stylish, making them a favorite for both pendant use and solo styling.
Why Choose Rolo Chains?
Rolo chains offer a perfect combination of form and function:
- Symmetrical design with a clean, consistent appearance
- Excellent strength and weight—ideal for heavier pendants
- Smooth surface that lies comfortably on the skin
- Unisex appeal—worn by men and women alike
- Bold or delicate options depending on link size
Whether worn solo, stacked, or paired with charms, a rolo chain adapts to any look with timeless appeal.
