A twist herringbone chain takes the flat herringbone weave and adds a spiral twist, so it catches light with both a smooth sheen and a rope-like turn. Superior Silver twist herringbone chains run around 3.4mm to 3.9mm in solid 925 sterling silver, in two-tone and black finishes, starting around $20.
What a twist herringbone is
A twist herringbone keeps the flat, reflective links of a classic herringbone but twists the whole chain into a gentle spiral. The result reads softer and more dynamic than a flat herringbone, with light moving along the twist. The two-tone versions add gold or rose gold against silver, and a black finish gives a moody contrast.
Wearing it
This is a light, flexible chain that wears smoothly on its own or layered. Like all herringbone weaves it is best stored flat or hung straight rather than balled up, so the twist and the flat links keep their shape.
Frequently asked questions
How is a twist herringbone different from a regular herringbone?
A regular herringbone is flat and smooth. A twist herringbone spirals that same flat weave, so it catches light along the turn and reads a little softer and more dynamic than the flat version.
Are the two-tone finishes real gold?
The gold and rose-gold tones are plating over a solid 925 sterling silver base. The chain itself is solid sterling.
