What is a good thickness for a chain?
The thickness of a chain should depend on your choice. If you are slim built, you can choose a slim chain (2mm to 4mm). If your neck and shoulder area are large-built, choose a wider chain up to 8mm thick. There are also eye-catching chains as thick as 12mm. Find vintage and antique chain necklaces on 1stDibs.
