Necklace Chain Thickness
Necklace chains come in a variety of widths and are measured in millimeters. The standard necklace size for women is 1mm, with 1mm - 2mm chains being the most common. The "thickness" of a necklace chain is its measured width from side to side. Some chains, such as Rope chains, have a similar thickness all around while others, such as flat Figaro or Curb chains, are wider on one side. Although the overall thickness can vary on a chain based on the design, the measurement is taken at the widest point.
For the purposes of Infinity Clip sizing, on chains that have a decorative element such as a ball spaced between chain lengths in a satellite chain, we want to take the measurement of the chain lengths where the InfinityClips would be attached.
How To Measure Your Necklace Chain Size
The easiest and most accurate method for determining chain thickness is by using a caliper. If you do not have a caliper or mm ruler on hand, below are two tools to help you measure your chain size for Infinity Clip sizing.
