Gold Chain Designs and Styles

Gold chains come in a variety of styles, colours and designs and it may well surprise you to know that though yellow gold is the standard, there are many other varieties. You may choose from white, rose, black, green, grey, blue and purple gold. These variants can be combined in interesting colour combinations to create a unique and beautiful gold chain that defines your individual style.

Today’s modern style trends call for bolder designs and the combination of beautiful chain link patterns accentuated by beautiful accessories. Charms, pendants, amulets and even dress rings are worn attached to beautiful gold chains. Today’s consumer is spoilt for choice and inundated with variety.

Take, for example, the beautiful mariner’s link design. This classic beauty is enhanced by the lustre of gold and can be worn as a stand alone piece or can be accessorized with any number of pendants and charms. This classical single link design is one of many created to entice a buyer into parting with his hard earned cash.

The Figaro chain is a distinctive design comprising one large link, followed by three smaller links in a continuous succession. The links are flattened ovals that are well suited to longer lengths of at least 18 inches. The curb chain is formed by an attractive series of twists that creates a sinuous look well suited to short as well as longer lengths of chain. This design suits a heavy weight chain.

The box link is delicate, pretty and definitely well suited to a fine design and lighter weight chain. Accentuate this design with a pretty pendant such as a cross or a circular pendant of your choice. Rope chains are beautiful and intricately worked multi-strand confabulations that twist with multiple rings in a twisted S-shape that draws the eye.

A preferable length for any rope chain is below the hollow of the throat, so over 14 inches. This beautiful piece of craftsmanship can well be worn with an accessory such as a pendant but makes an elegant statement all on its own. A stunning addition to any jewellery collection is a Byzantine gold chain. This tubular collection of links intertwine and twist together to create a stunningly distinctive pattern that to my mind requires no accessories.

A herringbone gold chain is another very distinctive piece of craftsmanship and does indeed, remind one of a herringbone when viewed close up. Flat, rectangular links are expertly woven together to create a braided, flattened look that echoes elegance and simplistic design. The omega style does contain echoes of the herringbone look, but is slightly convex in appearance with each strand of gold seeming to connect together as if by magic. This particular design is ideal as a choker and should be worn at 14 inches.

A new trend is reversible jewellery that can be worn one day to show off say, for example, the yellow gold side and the following day, simply reverse the gold chain to display the white gold side. This clever new feature can go a long way to adding versatility to your wardrobe by accessorizing in a number of different ways with one particular piece of jewellery.
