Gold Chain | How To Choose The Right Length | Italian Fashions

Because a gold chain is often defined by its length, there are lots of styles, for example, beaded, box, and Cuban chains to choose from, and sometimes it can get a bit confusing. Don't worry; just follow along here, and we'll discuss the options to determine the length of your gold chain.

Beaded gold chain

Beaded gold chain | Italian Fashions


Beaded gold chains from Italian Fashions can literally add texture and only just a pinch of sparkle to an outfit. These tend to sit snugly around the neck and are layering-friendly, usually being worn at shorter lengths. Should you be following a dainty, all-feminine look, this length of beaded gold chain will work well to enhance it.

Gold box chain

Gold box chains are mostly sold in lengths of 18–24 inches long. If you want the gold box chain to sit just above your collarbone, a length of about 18 inches will work nicely for the chain. The 24 inches allow it to create that more classic, elegant look that drops just below the chest.

Byzantine gold chain

The twisted link details look fantastic when they drape a little bit down. You feel like a king or queen when you wear this. The best part of these real gold chains for women is that 22 inches is perfect for being classy and something to be worn in day-to-day scenarios.

Cuban chain

Commonly worn between the 20 to 30 inches range, this gold chain calls for a classic style when worn at 22 inches because it is quite nicely placed around the neck. When a Cuban chain is taken up to the 24-inch or longer range, it can create something dramatically striking.

Figaro gold chain

The Figaro 10k Italy gold chain involves short and long links to give your pattern a rhythmic look that is interesting to your person. When on a short length, the chain will be close to your neck because it does not go far below your neck.

Forzata gold chain necklaces

The men's gold chains 14k can usually be found in 20-26 inches. The 20-inch Forzata chain has a snug fit around the neck, and it can only be worn with a pendant. A 24-inch length is suitable to wear on its own or even with adding a pendant for a casual look.

Franco gold chain

Gucci gold chain

It could be the case that for many, a 22-inch gold chain Gucci would represent a statement of trend, style, and a touch of high-fashion look around the neck, while a 30-inch chain has a dramatic eye-catching look that falls well below the chest.

Herringbone chain
