A twisted roc criss cross chain spirals a flat link into a crossing pattern that catches light along its whole length. Superior Silver criss cross chains run from a fine 1.8mm to a bold 4.3mm in solid 925 sterling silver, with two-tone and tri-color finishes, starting around $32.
What a criss cross chain is
The twisted roc criss cross link twists a flat, diamond-cut strand so the surface reads as a series of crossing facets. It gives a sparkly, textured line that sits somewhere between a rope and a herringbone. The two-tone and tri-color versions mix silver with gold and rose gold for extra contrast and shine.
Choosing a width and finish
A 1.8mm to 2.6mm criss cross is a delicate, sparkly everyday chain and a great layering piece. The 2.9mm and 4.3mm widths read bolder for solo wear. Choose a single silver tone for a classic look, or a two-tone or tri-color finish when you want the chain to stand out on its own.
