Venetian chains

Venetian chain or box chain

The box-like links of a Venetian chain give the chain a smooth appearance. Changing the width and material alters the overall look, even though the chain design remains the same. The Trendi Koru 0.8 mm silver Venetian chain is a delicate option. A rhodium-plated silver model is also available in the same width. The 0.6 mm white gold Venetian chain offers another material alternative. Check the dimensions and lengths of the selected chain on a per-product basis.

Coating and chain storage

A rhodium-plated silver chain has a layer of rhodium over the silver, while a gold-plated silver chain has a layer of gold. These affect the shade of the chain and the choice of care method. Store the Venetian chain straight or loosely laid out without tight knots or sharp folds. Follow the care instructions suitable for the material and coating of the chosen product.

Length and pendant compatibility

Measure a chain that already fits you well while it is laid flat, including the clasp. If you do not have a reference chain, test your desired length with a tape measure or a string at the position where you want the jewelry to sit. Consider whether you will be wearing the chain against bare skin or over clothing. The same 45 or 50 cm length will sit differently on different users.

When choosing a chain for a pendant, check the opening of the pendant bail and the size of the end link or clasp that needs to pass through it. The end must fit through the opening, and the weight of the pendant and the structure of the chain also affect compatibility. You cannot determine durability or compatibility based on width alone.

Material affects appearance and care

Check whether the chain is made of silver or gold and whether it has a separate coating. A gold-plated silver chain is not the same as a chain made of gold. The fineness of a chain made of gold, such as 14K, is stated in the product details. Choose a cleaning method according to the material and coating.

If you are unsure about compatibility with a pendant, ask Kulta-Aika for help. State the chain model you are considering and the dimensions and weight of the pendant if you know them.

Frequently asked questions about Venetian chains

What does box chain mean?

Box chain is the English name for a Venetian chain. The chain is formed by box-like links that create a smooth and clean-lined structure.

How do I choose the length of a necklace?

Measure a chain that already fits you well while it is laid flat, including the clasp, or test the desired length with a tape measure. Consider neck circumference, clothing, and any potential pendant. The same centimeter length will sit differently on different users.

What should I check before attaching a chain to a pendant?

Check the width of the chain and the size of the end link or clasp that needs to pass through, as well as the opening of the pendant bail. The end must fit through the pendant bail. Also consider the weight of the pendant and the structure of the chain; compatibility cannot be determined by width alone.

Is a gold-plated silver chain the same as a gold chain?

No. A gold-plated silver chain is a silver chain with a layer of gold on the surface. The manufacturing material of a gold chain is a gold alloy, the fineness of which is indicated in the product details. Check the material and coating in the details of the selected product.
