2mm Sterling Silver Cable Chain

Oval links, uniform and evenly spaced, give this cable chain a clean symmetrical rhythm — distinct from a curb's flattened lay or a figaro's long-short pattern. This 2mm sterling silver cable chain uses oval links connected one-to-one in alternating directions with a hand-polished finish that reflects light from every angle. Solid .925 silver from clasp to end ring. Four lengths: 18, 20, 22, or 24 inches. The kind of chain you put on in the morning and forget about until someone compliments it. Built For If you wear pendants regularly — The 2mm cable link doesn't twist, so your pendant hangs centered instead of drifting sideways. The oval cable links pass through most standard bail sizes without catching. Swap charms in seconds — unclasp the chain, slide the charm on, then close the clasp again. If you want a chain that disappears under a collar — At 2mm, this cable chain sits close to your neck and stays out of sight. No flash, no statement. Clean silver at the neckline that works whether you're in a suit or a t-shirt. If you're building a layered setup — The 2mm gauge makes this a natural base layer. It slides underneath thicker chains without tangling or bunching. Pick a shorter length as your innermost layer and stack a heavier chain on top. The Honest Take The polish on these links is bright — mirror-finish bright. You'll see your shirt reflected in the links when the light hits them at the right angle. That shine will soften over the first few weeks of wear. Not dull — just a quieter, lived-in silver that most people actually prefer. Cable links have natural articulation at every connection point. The chain follows your neckline instead of fighting it — no kinks, no stiff spots, even after sitting coiled in a box for months. Unclasped, it falls into a smooth drape immediately. The lobster clasp snaps shut with a solid click. It's stamped .925 right on the clasp itself — small enough that you'd need to look for it, but it's there. The clasp is slightly wider than the chain width. That's intentional — makes it easier to grab one-handed behind your neck. Heads up: At 2mm and roughly 5 grams, this is a slim chain built for subtlety. Worn on its own it looks understated — it is meant for carrying a pendant or sitting as the base layer under a bolder chain. If you want the chain itself to be the statement, start at 3mm and up. Under the Hood ⚙️ Material Solid .925 sterling silver — the same grade used in fine jewelry, all the way through each 2mm oval link.

Classic symmetrical pattern that doesn't twist during wear. 🔧 Closure Lobster clasp with .925 hallmark stamp — spring-loaded, one-hand operable behind the neck. 📐 Lengths Available in 18", 20", 22", and 24" — covers everything from collarbone-snug to mid-chest hang. ⚖️ Weight Approximately 5 grams (varies by length) — light enough that it never tugs or swings during the day. Before You Buy Q: What's the difference between a cable chain and a curb chain? Cable links are oval rings connected in alternating directions — the chain has a uniform, symmetrical look. Curb links are flattened ovals that interlock at angles for a smoother lay. Both are strong at 2mm. Cable reads more classic and structured. Curb reads sleeker and flatter against skin. Q: Can I shower with this chain on? Yes. Solid .925 sterling silver handles daily water contact without damage — showers, handwashing, and rain are all fine. Avoid prolonged chlorine (swimming pools) or sulfur (hot springs), since both speed up tarnish. Regular soap and water won't hurt it, and a quick pat-dry afterward keeps the polish bright longer. Q: How heavy of a pendant can this carry? This 2mm chain comfortably carries pendants up to about 15–20 grams. The cable link pattern is one of the strongest per gauge. Beyond 25 grams the chain will still hold, but the visual proportion starts to look off — a thicker chain balances heavy pieces better.
