Due to the colloquial use of these terms, there is often confusion about the difference between a chain and a necklace. This is a simple question that we will resolve for you by explaining the different types of chains. Main difference between a chain and a necklace. The most important difference, which shows us that the two terms are not interchangeable, is that a necklace is a piece of jewelry that hangs from a chain. In the case of a chain, it is a connection of links to one another. Therefore, a necklace must always be accompanied by a chain, while a chain can be worn alone as jewelry. As we mentioned at the beginning, there are different types of chains, so you will learn which style or design you like, so that you do not go crazy when searching. Types of chains. The most important chains that are trending are: - Anchor chain. This type of chain is inspired by nautical themes and resembles the chains used to anchor boats. It consists of intertwined ovals that can vary in both width and thickness. - Curb chain. In this case, the links are connected to each other but can have flat sides. It is one of the simplest chains, and because of its simplicity, it is normal for it to be accompanied by a necklace. At Luz de Nehca, we have the Luna pendant, which is accompanied by a 45 cm long, rectangular curb chain.LUNA pendant - Snake chain. It differs from conventional chains because it consists of a flattened metal plate that adapts to the neck due to its great flexibility, hence the name "snake". A necklace is usually not added to this type of chain because it already has a certain structure and prominence. - Ball chain. In it, we do not find links, but circles joined together that give the chain its shape. Since they have a more eye-catching design, they are often worn without a necklace. In our shop, you will find a design that will make you feel unique and radiant. Our mother-of-pearl choker is made of natural mother-of-pearl beads and 925 sterling silver. NÁCAR choker Other chains.
