Unique Chains Collection
Interlinking loops of metal are a jewellery staple, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be transformed into something extraordinary. From Pop Art inspirations to sensual rope-like designs, Place Vendome maisons have pulled out all the stops to breathe fresh life into chains for the neck, wrists and ears.
Thin chain are a symbol of elegance, ideal for emphasizing pendants and allowing for layering to create a bespoke style. Thinner styles like the Singapore chain have a smooth and symmetrical look, while other options include the rolo chain (named after its flat polished metal plates) and the bead chain. The latter features small, evenly spaced spherical beads strung together and comes in a wide range of sizes for delicate to bold accents.
Mariner chains have a distinctive nautical style thanks to their oval links alternating between horizontal and vertical bars. These sturdy jewellery accents are a favourite for fashion brands such as Alexander McQueen and Gucci, who use them to elevate layered looks.
A gold chain is also the perfect accessory for a talisman, such as a charm, zodiac sign or initial pendant. A sculptural chain adorned with one of these pieces can give your jewellery an instant pick-me-up, as was the case with this Just An Illusion necklace crafted from titanium layered with orange and blue HyCeram (a hybrid ceramic compound) and paved with mandarin garnets, round diamonds, rock crystal and black lacquer. A talisman that is sure to spark conversation, it’s the kind of piece that could easily take centre stage in a curated necklace stack.
