How to care for your herringbone chain?

Caring for a gold herringbone chain requires attention and proper handling to prevent kinking and damage. Here are some tips to keep your chain in excellent condition:

Gentle Handling: Always handle your herringbone chain with care. Avoid tugging or pulling on the chain, as it can easily kink or twist.

Avoiding Tangles: When not wearing the chain, lay it flat or hang it straight to prevent tangling. Do not fold or bend the chain.

Proper Storage: Store your chain flat in a jewelry box with a soft lining or in a dedicated compartment to avoid contact with other jewelry pieces that might scratch or damage it.

Removing Before Activities: Take off the chain before engaging in physical activities, such as sports, exercise, or manual labor, to avoid accidental damage.

Avoiding Chemicals: Keep the chain away from harsh chemicals, such as chlorine, bleach, and household cleaners, as they can weaken or discolor the gold. Remove the chain before swimming in chlorinated pools or using cleaning products.

Don't Put Heavy Pendants or Charms on it: A herringbone chain idealy should be worn with no charms or pendants.  You run the risk of kinking the chain if you hang a pendant or charm off it.  We recommend a cable chain for pendant use.  

Important:  Once a herringbone necklace kinks, there is no way to repair it to new condition.  So take care of your precious jewelry!   

Interesting info about herringbone chains

Why is it called "herringbone"?

Because this type of chain consists of short, flat, and rectangular links arranged in a pattern that resembles the bones of a herring fish. This design allows the chain to lie flat against the skin, creating a smooth and fluid appearance.  Now you know!

What is the origin of herringbone chains?

The origins of herringbone chains can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia. These cultures were known for their advanced metalworking skills and created intricate jewelry designs, including early forms of the herringbone pattern.

During the Roman Empire, this design gained popularity.  Roman jewelers perfected the technique of crafting herringbone chains, making them a symbol of wealth and status. These chains were often made of gold and worn by the elite.
