Silvme 925 Sterling Silver Chain, Approx. 18.82 g, for Men

At approximately 18.82 g, this sterling silver chain from Silvme sits in the middle of the range - enough presence to read as silver, light enough to forget you have it on.

The design

The link pattern is kept understated so the chain works as a foundation piece - on its own, layered with another length, or carrying a pendant.

Choosing your length

Chain length is worth thinking about before you buy. Shorter chains sit close to the neckline and read as understated; longer ones drop towards the chest and carry a pendant more comfortably. If you already own a chain you like the fit of, measuring that one end to end is the most reliable guide - necks vary more than size charts allow for.

About 925 sterling silver

925 sterling silver is 92.5 per cent pure silver, alloyed with a small proportion of other metal - usually copper - to give it working strength. Pure silver on its own is too soft to hold a clasp or survive being worn, so the alloy is what makes silver practical as jewellery while keeping the colour and density of the real metal. The 925 mark is the international standard for sterling, and it is what separates solid silver from plated pieces built over a base metal.

Searching in Hinglish, you will see this called a chandi ki chain - the same thing, solid sterling silver rather than a plated imitation. Silver in India is often judged by weight, which is why the gram figure is listed openly above.

How to wear it

Wear it alone against a plain crew neck, or layer it with a shorter chain so the two lengths separate cleanly.

Gifting

A silver chain is one of the few pieces that suits a birthday, an anniversary or a festival gift without needing a size.

Frequently asked questions

Is this real silver or silver plated?
Solid 925 sterling silver all the way through, including the clasp and findings - not a plated base metal. 925 means 92.5 per cent pure silver, the international sterling standard.

Will it turn black over time?
Silver reacts with air and moisture and will dull or darken eventually. That is normal for real silver and it is reversible - a silver polishing cloth restores the shine. Storing it in a closed pouch between wears slows it down considerably.

Which length should I choose?
The most reliable method is to measure a chain you already own and like the fit of, end to end including the clasp. Shorter chains sit close to the neckline; longer ones drop towards the chest and carry a pendant more comfortably.

Does a pendant come with it?
No. You receive one chain only. Any pendant or other jewellery in the styling photographs is shown for context and is not part of this purchase.

Is the weight exact?
Approximate. This chain is around 18.82 g, but each piece is finished by hand so weight varies slightly. Silver is often bought by weight in India, so we list it openly.

What you receive

One (1) Silvme 925 sterling silver chain. Pendants, charms and any other jewellery shown in styling photographs are not included unless stated above.

Care

Silver darkens on contact with air and moisture. That is the metal behaving normally, not a fault, and it reverses with cleaning. Wipe the chain with a soft dry cloth after wearing, keep it clear of fragrance, hair product and chlorinated water, and store it in a closed pouch rather than open air. A silver polishing cloth restores the shine; avoid abrasive pastes, which remove metal with the tarnish.

Weight is approximate. Each chain is finished individually, so pieces vary slightly from the figure listed.
