    Whether tennis chains break easily depends on several factors. Thickness will help determine a chain’s strength, with thinner chains typically being more delicate than thicker ones. Craftsmanship and metal type will also influence a chain’s breakage resistance. Keep in mind that any necklace can break if it gets pulled on or suffers a large impact. It's a good idea to remove your tennis chain before exercising, playing sports or doing any other activity that could potentially damage it. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of tennis chains.

    Yes, pearl earrings can break easily. The delicate nature of the jewelry comes from the fact that pearls are relatively soft and can become scratched and scuffed more readily than some other gemstones and precious metals. Fortunately, there are things you can do to protect your earrings. You should generally remove them before you go to sleep, shower, apply hair and skin care products or engage in active activities like exercise or sports. Following the care and maintenance instructions provided by the maker can also help extend the life of pearl earrings. Explore a wide variety of pearl earrings on 1stDibs.
