925 Sterling Silver Curb Chain Necklace – 1.8mm, 40cm
Curb Chain – Your Bold, Classic Sterling Silver Base Layer
A statement-ready 925 sterling silver curb chain at 1.8mm width, featuring uniform, twisted interlocking links that lie flat against the skin for a clean, polished line. The curb chain is one of the most recognisable styles in fine jewellery, prized for its bold yet refined presence — each link is flattened and twisted so the chain sits smoothly without rolling or catching. At 40cm with an approximate weight of 3.23g, this piece has a satisfying, substantial feel that reads as quality the moment it's picked up.
Curb chains have seen a strong resurgence in modern jewellery trends, bridging the gap between minimalist layering pieces and bolder statement chains. Wear it solo as a confident everyday choker-length necklace, or use it as the FortunaLink™ base layer of your modular system — its flat, structured links make a strong foundation for a MiniCharm™ to sit against.

Genuine 925 sterling silver naturally develops a light tarnish over time, appearing as a soft greyish or golden tint that can be polished away with a silver cloth. Copper-base and brass alloys, by contrast, often tarnish to a dull green or black, especially around the clasp or in contact with skin. If a "silver" chain shows green discolouration rather than a soft grey patina, it's likely a base-metal piece rather than solid 925.
FAQs
1. Is a curb chain a good choice for everyday wear?
Yes. Curb chains are made from flattened, twisted links that lock together
smoothly, creating a sturdy structure that resists tangling and lies flat against
the skin. This makes them one of the most durable everyday chain styles, suitable
for both solo wear and layering.
2. How can I tell if a chain is genuine 925 sterling silver?
Genuine 925 sterling silver is composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other
metals (typically copper), giving it a density of around 10.4 g/cm³ — noticeably
heavier than zinc alloy (6.6–7.2 g/cm³) or stainless steel (around 8 g/cm³).
Look for a "925" hallmark stamp near the clasp, and check the listed weight
against the chain's size as a quick sanity check.
3. Why does my silver chain sometimes look dull after a few weeks?
This is normal tarnishing caused by the copper content in sterling silver
reacting with air, sweat and skincare products. A quick polish with a soft
silver cloth restores the shine. For full storage and cleaning guidance, see
our JewelCare™ page.
