A simple but sophisticated choice, Rounded Box Chain is a popular contemporary style that is highly durable and works well as the ideal backdrop for pendants. It is also a very comfortable and practical choice as it minimises sharp edges that could catch on body hairs.

Like most enduring Chain Link styles, the Box chain has a wide range of variations. The defining feature of a box chain is that the individual links have flat shiny surfaces which are closely interlocked together to create a neat and tidy four-sided square shape. This gives it a sleek and contemporary look that has made it one of the most popular styles of jewellery chains for men and women alike.

The gaps between each individual link on a standard box chain are significantly wider than other chain types, such as herringbone or snake chain. This helps minimise the likelihood of the chain catching on the wearer’s hairs, whilst the rounded surface of each individual link allows it to sit easily against the skin and be admired from all angles.

Whether the link is smooth or textured, a standard or mirror finish it all adds to the versatility of this chain. Both of these finishes help the chain shine beautifully and reflect light easily. The latter is a particularly popular choice as it offers the same classic look of the chain but with an added sparkle.

Another variation of the standard Box Chain is the Double Box Chain. This uses exactly the same style of link formation as the standard box chain but pairs two identical strands of the chain together to form a layered appearance. This style is also available in a grooved version with the appearance of three distinct straight lines etched into the flat surface of each individual link.

For a truly unique look, there is also the Box Chain with Beads style. This recruits the basic link construction of a standard box chain to act as the background for varying shaped beads that are fixed in place at regular intervals along the length of the chain. The beads are often coloured for an extra pop of personality.

All of the above mentioned Box Chain variations can be enhanced further with the application of specific jewellery finishing techniques. For example, a Diamond Cut finish will give the chain an attractive bright and sparkling finish or the jewellery finishing method known as Pave can imprint patterns onto the links to add a touch of depth and texture to each individual link.
