Out of all the many types of silver jewelry available, sterling silver chains are by far the most popular. This popularity is due to the fact that not only are sterling silver chains beautiful, there are also many different kinds of them! Sterling silver is also very affordable, so you can watch your collection grow and still not burn a hole in your wallet!

The most common type of sterling silver chain is called a cable. These chains are made up of links that are all interconnected to each other. One reason why cables are so popular is because they can be reconstructed to make many different types of designs. Mariner and Gucci both have cable chains that include a small bar across the links as part of their design. Sterling silver chains that come with a flattened look are known as a curb chain. The Figaro design is a very popular curb chain that has a long flat link in between three small links all the way around the necklace.

There is another type of sterling silver chain that is known as the chainmaille design. These are produced mostly in Europe and go back to the times of Ancient Greece. These unique designs are woven so that they can be expanded to provide full protection armor in times of battle. And when it was time to come off the battlegrounds, the soldiers all had beautiful jewelry to wear. This weaving technique is still used in many parts of Europe today with the Queen’s chain, Jens Pind, foxtail, and Byzantine chains being just a few examples.

If you’re looking for a beautiful piece of jewelry to wear, or need something for that someone special, you’ll surely be able to find something beautiful and unique when choosing a sterling silver chain.
