Chain Types
Chain necklaces are a diverse group of styles and types. They come in different metals, with gold, silver, and platinum prevailing. With the addition of diamonds, these chains enter the realm of bling. Among the many types that may feature diamonds are the following popular styles:
Box Chains: These square or box-like links form a design ideal for the addition of diamonds to produce a masculine or feminine version of a diamond chain. The style may be light and elegant or heavier and boxy.
Cuban Chains: These links lie flat. They can be very thin or wide, spreading out and, with the added shine of diamonds, establishing a statement of the importance of bling. This is a very popular style for men
Franco Chains: This style combines a mixture of small and longer links. The pattern this creates receives further emphasis with the addition of diamonds or other gems.
Omega Necklace: although not actually a chain, it is included in this grouping. The basis is a wire on which the jeweler strings metal plates to produce a flat necklace. Smooth and round, it can easily feature diamonds.
Rope Chains: This style consists of several small links twisted together. The result is a rope-like chain necklace.
