A braid herringbone chain weaves several flat herringbone strands together for a wide, textured, woven look. Superior Silver braid herringbone chains come in 3-braid and 6-braid styles up to a bold 9mm in solid 925 sterling silver, starting around $26.
What a braid herringbone is
A braid herringbone takes the flat, reflective herringbone weave and braids multiple strands of it together. That gives a wider chain with a rich woven texture and more presence than a single herringbone, while keeping the smooth, light-catching surface. The 6-braid version reads especially bold and flat.
Wearing it
Braided flat chains are statement pieces best worn on their own so the weave shows. Like all herringbone styles they prefer to be stored flat or hung straight, and worn without a heavy pendant that could drag on the weave.
Frequently asked questions
How is a braid herringbone different from a regular one?
A regular herringbone is a single flat weave. A braid herringbone braids several herringbone strands together for a wider, richer, more textured chain with more presence.
Is a braided herringbone durable?
Braiding adds body compared with a single flat herringbone, but it is still a flat woven chain, so store it flat and avoid sharp kinks to keep it smooth.
