Which chain type is strongest?

Box and curb chains offer the best strength-to-weight ratio for pendant wear.

Are your chains solid or hollow?

All Melissima chains are solid metal — we do not sell hollow chains.

What chain do I need for a heavy pendant?

Choose 1.8mm or thicker in a curb or box style for pendants over 3g.

Chains

The foundation of every collection. Solid, never hollow, and finished to slide smoothly against the skin.

Chain styles explained

Cable is the classic round-link chain and the most versatile. Curb links are flattened and interlocking, giving more presence. Rope twists for texture and sparkle. Box is square-linked, sleek and very strong for its weight.

Choosing chain weight

Under 1.2mm reads as delicate and layers invisibly. 1.5–2.5mm works alone or layered. Above 3mm becomes a statement in its own right.

Chain strength

Solid chains outlast hollow ones by years. Every Melissima chain is solid metal with soldered links, tested to hold a pendant well beyond its intended weight.
