Questions About Antique Chain Styles
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    There is no single strongest style of chain for a pendant. Curb, cable and trace chains are generally strong options. However, the quality of a necklace's craftsmanship will also determine its strength. Explore a wide range of chains from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    What style of gold chain is the strongest is largely a matter of personal opinion. Generally, chains formed of interlocking links are strong because they do not bend. Examples include Cuban, mariner, figaro, rope and cable chains. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of gold chains.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    The strongest style of chain for a necklace is a thick link chain. Link chains are the strongest type of chain because these chains do not have a bending point, and therefore can twist and be folded a number of ways without damaging the chain. There are many different types of link chains, including wheat chains, figaro chains, cable link chains, mariner link chains and curb link chains. When searching for a durable chain, avoid hollow chains and opt for independently soldered links that will never pull apart. Shop different styles of necklace chains and other jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes. Thick gold chains are in style, but whether they’re the right style for you depends on your personal preferences and the way you choose to dress. Thick gold chains look great with t-shirts, suits and sweaters, and you can layer them with other chunky or slim gold chains. Gold chains come in different link types, including Cuban, mariner and cable links and wheat and Figaro chains. Shop a selection of vintage and modern gold chains from top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    There is no single best style of chain for a pendant. Generally, simple chains are the best option if you intend to add a pendant. Choose from varieties like the cable chain, the rope chain, the box chain and the ball chain. Whatever style you choose, double-check that the thickness of the necklace will work with the bail of your pendant. Explore a wide range of chain necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    Yes, antique furniture is in style. Many people appreciate the beauty and handcrafted character of antique furniture and love the idea of owning pieces with a rich history. Remember that style preferences are nothing if not fluid, meaning what's in one year may not be the next. So, in choosing the furniture you're planning to live with, you should pay less attention to interior design fads than to what speaks to you. That way, you can select pieces that will add long-term character to your home. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of antique furniture.
