Classic Y body chain worn from neck to waist

Body Chains Explained: How to Wear One With Confidence

A body chain is the most talked-about piece in our range and the one people are least sure how to wear. It is simpler than it looks.

Sizing: measure, do not guess

Measure around your waist where the chain will actually sit — usually just above the hip bone, not at the natural waist. Choose an adjustable chain if you are between sizes.

Layered or single?

A single fine chain is subtle enough for a summer dress. A double or curb chain is the statement version, best with high-waisted trousers or a bikini.

Under or over clothing?

Over a crop top or bodysuit is the easiest way in. Worn under a sheer shirt, a body chain catches the light without ever being obvious.

Day to night

Daytime: fine chain, high-waisted jeans, plain white tee — you see it only when you move. Evening: layered chain over a slip dress.

Comfort matters

It should never mark your skin. If it leaves an impression, size up. See the full body chain collection.

Size guide

Find your fit before you order. Measurements are in millimetres and centimetres; if you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Rings

Our rings use US sizes. Measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits you well, or wrap a strip of paper around the base of your finger and measure the circumference.

Necklaces

Each product page lists the exact chain length. As a guide to where a chain sits:

LengthSits
35 cm / 14 inChoker, close to the neck
40 cm / 16 inAt the base of the neck
45 cm / 18 inOn the collarbone
50 cm / 20 inJust below the collarbone
55-60 cm / 22-24 inAbove the neckline, good for layering

Bracelets and anklets

Measure your wrist or ankle snugly and add 1-2 cm for a comfortable fit. Most bracelets fit wrists of 15-18 cm and most anklets fit ankles of 21-25 cm; adjustable pieces have an extender chain, listed on the product page.
