    Representative material visualization · Appearance may vary

    Sterling silver is a silver alloy used in jewelry. Its bright, cool-toned surface can develop a natural patina with wear and exposure. The visible finish may also be plated, so always check the metal option for the individual piece.

    In this piece: 925 sterling silver, or 18kt gold vermeil over sterling silver, for the flat herringbone chain.

    Is sterling silver the same as a silver-colored finish?

    No. A silver-colored appearance alone does not establish metal content. Use the product's confirmed material specification; never identify sterling silver from its color or a reference photograph.

    Can sterling silver have a gold-colored finish?

    Yes. A gold layer can be applied over a sterling-silver base. In a vermeil option, the base metal and surface finish should both be stated; it must not be described as solid gold.

    How should I care for the finish?

    Store jewelry dry and separately, avoid cosmetics and household chemicals, and use a soft cloth. Follow the product's own care instructions before using silver cleaner, especially when stones, thread or gold plating are present.

    Bold and feminine

    A flat herringbone chain that lies smooth at the neckline

    A flat herringbone chain about 3 millimeters wide, in 14 or 16 inches with a 2 inch extender.

    This flat herringbone chain is about 3 millimeters wide and lies smooth against the neck. Its tightly woven links give the chain a bold but feminine line, and the flat surface catches the light evenly along its length.

    The chain is made in 18kt yellow gold vermeil, 18kt rose gold vermeil or 925 sterling silver. Yellow gold vermeil gives a warm shine, rose gold vermeil adds a soft blush, and silver keeps the look cool and crisp.

    The chain is a versatile base for layering. It works alone for everyday wear or with other necklaces and pendants for a fuller stack.

    The flat herringbone design is easy to layer. Its even surface sits smoothly beside other necklaces without tangling, which makes it a practical everyday base for a stack of chains.

    Light and even

    A chain that sits flat and stays comfortable

    A 14 or 16 inch flat chain with a 2 inch extender for a comfortable fit.

    The flat herringbone links rest close to the skin, so the chain does not twist or roll through the day. Its even width keeps the line neat and easy to wear with open or high necklines.

    The 2 inch extender lets you adjust the length. Choose 14 or 16 inches depending on where you want the chain to sit, and try the length with a shirt or top you wear often.

    The meaning of simplicity

    A flat chain has a simple, honest character. Its even shine lets the wearer decide what it means, so the necklace suits anyone who prefers quiet pieces that work with almost everything else they own. The meaning is yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular result.

    Some people give a herringbone chain to a friend who likes everyday jewelry with a clean line. Others wear one as the base for a layered look with pendants.

    Choosing your length

    The chain comes in 14 or 16 inches, with a 2 inch extender. Measure a necklace you already wear and check where it sits on your neckline before you decide.

    A 14 inch chain sits closer to the collarbone, while the 16 inch length falls a little lower. The extender lets you fine-tune the fit, so try both in a mirror.

    Caring for the chain and finish

    Sterling silver can tarnish over time, and the gold vermeil can wear with lotion, perfume and friction. Remove the necklace before cleaning, swimming, exercise and sleep.

    After wear, wipe the chain with a soft dry cloth and store it flat in a separate pouch. Keeping it apart from harder jewelry protects the links and the finish, so the chain keeps its even shine.

    Find your metal tone

    Three finishes with the same flat herringbone chain. Choose yellow gold vermeil for warmth, rose gold vermeil for softness or sterling silver for a cool line.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is the chain solid gold?

    No. The gold options are 18kt gold vermeil over sterling silver, a thin gold layer rather than solid gold.

    Which length should I choose?

    The chain is available in 14 or 16 inches, with a 2 inch extender. Measure a necklace you already wear for comparison.

    Is this necklace in stock now?

    The necklace is sold as a standard item. Check the product page for the delivery estimate shown there before you order.

    Does the necklace have a stone?

    No. This is a flat herringbone chain in metal only, so there is no stone to care for.

    Can I layer it with other necklaces?

    Yes. The flat chain sits well with other necklaces, including pendants with gemstones.

    Does the necklace promise any effect?

    No. A plain chain is simply a piece to wear, and any meaning you give it is your own. The necklace makes no promise of a particular outcome.

    Can I wear it in the shower or pool?

    Please remove it before swimming, showering or exercise. Water, lotion and chlorine can dull the silver and wear the vermeil finish.

    How should I clean it?

    Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes and ultrasonic cleaners, which can wear the vermeil finish.
