An adjustable chain uses a small bead or slider so you can shorten or lengthen it at will, which lets one chain work for many necklines and layers. Superior Silver adjustable chains are fine cable and bead styles in solid 925 sterling silver, starting around $21.
Why an adjustable chain
An adjustable chain solves the length problem. A slider lets you wear the same chain short as a choker-length layer or longer to drop a pendant lower, without buying multiple chains. That flexibility makes it a smart everyday piece and an easy gift, since it will fit whoever wears it.
Wearing it
Slide the bead to set the length, then let it hold. These fine cable and bead chains are light and comfortable for daily wear and layering. They carry light pendants well, and the adjustability makes them ideal for setting a pendant at exactly the height you want.
