Anchor / Mariner or Rambo Chain 

   
These are similar to Figaro chains, but they alternate a single, small, round link with a larger oval link. They resemble the chains attached to an anchor on boats, hence its name. This style of chain is popular with men and women.
 

Belcher or Rolo Chain

It is comprised of oval interlocking links with alternating links turned 180°. This chain comes in a range of widths with the smaller ones generally popular to be used with pendants and more favored by females.
 

Bead or Ball

This chain has round beads fixed along the chain, with some distance between each bead or the beads could be strung next to each other, with a tiny space linked in-between.
 

Box

 
Box chains have squared off links rather than rounded links, giving the chain a boxy appearance. Thinner versions of box chains are popular for women’s jewellery and often paired up with pendants.
 
 
Curb

Curb chains are a popular choice for men because it uses a heavier and larger link. It is a simple design of flat, interlocking, similar links. Historically, the links were made rather large due to the fact that they were made with little machinery and were time consuming to make. However, with the advent of modern machinery, smaller and more feminine styles are now available.
 
 
Figaro

The Figaro chain, has flattened links and does not have one uniform size links. It usually has 2 or 3 shorter links alternating with a longer link. A style originated in Italy which is popular with both men and women.
 
 
Gucci
Very similar to the anchor chains but the links are rounder as opposed to squared. With flat links, this chain with thick links can be a great statement piece. Smaller ones are a popular choice with pendants.
 
 
Rope

Rope chains are chains where small links are manipulated to avoid calling attention to their appearance; instead, they are linked in a twisted pattern to resemble a genuine rope. Rope chains come in both delicate versions where they are a popular choice for pendant necklaces, and heavier versions where the chain itself is the main attraction.
 
 
Snake

Rather than visible links, snake chains are made up of rings which fit together closely, making a chain with an appearance of a flexible tube with the texture of snakeskin. Snake chains are usually narrow and delicate.
 
 
Singapore

At Chains of Gold, we lovingly call this a “twist curb” chain. The Singapore is made of twisted and braided fibers. Known for its strength, integrity, classic pattern, and simplicity, this is a popular choice with those looking for a pendant chain.
 
 
Spiga /Wheat

Wheat Chains are normally created with four stands of oval and twisted oval links. The links are braided and woven together to make a lovely looking chain that is quite eye-catching!
