Box Chain: What It Is and Who It Suits
A box chain is a row of square links joined face to face, making a clean, geometric cord with no visible gaps.
How it wears
The best chain under a heavy pendant: it does not kink and the pendant hangs straight. A chain is worn against skin for hours at a time, so weight and flexibility matter more than the pattern alone: a chain that is beautiful but stiff ends up in a drawer.
Choosing a length
On a necklace, 40 cm sits at the base of the neck, 45 cm just below the collarbone and suits most necklines, and 50 cm falls on the chest and layers well with a shorter chain. On a bracelet, measure your wrist and add about 1.5 cm for comfort. Full size guide.
Our box pieces
Prices run from £42 to £316, depending on the metal and the gauge of the wire.
How we make and mark it
Every piece here is made for ONLYWAY JEWELRY in London and, where the law requires it, hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The hallmark is not decoration: it is an independent test of the metal, struck by an assay office rather than by the maker. What the marks mean.
The price on the page is the price you pay. Delivery within the United Kingdom is tracked and included, and you have thirty days to send a piece back. Delivery and returns.
