Silvme 925 Sterling Silver Cuban Chain, 22 Inch, Approx. 26.21 g, for Men

At approximately 26.21 g, this cuban 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

Cuban links are flattened and interlocked so the chain lies flat against the skin instead of rolling. It is the pattern most people picture when they think of a substantial silver chain, and it carries weight visibly without looking bulky.

How this length sits

A 22 inch chain generally sits on the upper chest on most adults. It carries a pendant well and reads as a deliberate length rather than an accidental one. Necks differ, so treat this as a guide rather than a guarantee - measuring a chain you already wear is the surest way to compare.

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 high and alone for something minimal, or push it under a collar so only a section shows.

Gifting

Suits gifting for Raksha Bandhan, Diwali or a birthday, particularly where you want something that will actually get worn.

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.

How will 22 inches sit on me?
A 22 inch chain generally sits on the upper chest on most adults. It carries a pendant well and reads as a deliberate length rather than an accidental one. Necks vary, so measure a chain you already wear if you want to be sure.

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 26.21 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.
