Basic Sterling Silver Adjustable Box Chain

NOTE: Chain Only.

The quiet base every necklace needs.

A plain, fine box chain in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver. Its small square links form a smooth, sleek line that sits neatly against the skin.

Instead of a clasp and fixed extension links, it has a pull-bead slider. Slip it over your head, then pull the bead until the chain sits exactly where you want it. Wear it at its full 45cm, or bring it higher on the neck. It adjusts in a second, and you can change it as often as you like.

Wear it alone as a fine line of silver, or layer it with other necklaces. You can also use it as the base for a light pendant you already own, such as an MNML initial letter.

Simple. Fine. Always useful.

FAQ

How does the pull-bead slider work?
Open the slider to its widest and slip the chain over your head. Then hold the chain and slide the bead up or down until the necklace sits at the length you want. The bead grips the chain to hold it in place.

Does the chain have a clasp?
No. It uses the pull-bead slider instead of a clasp, so there's nothing to fasten at the back of your neck.

How long is the chain?
It's 45cm at its full length, and you can slide it shorter to sit higher on the neck.

Can I use it with a pendant?
Yes. It's a good base for small, light pendants. Thread the pendant on through the chain's end, then slip the chain over your head. A 0.6mm chain is fine, so avoid heavy or oversized pendants, which can strain the links.

Does it fit the MNML Initial Alphabet Pendant?
It's designed to be a good match for light pendants like the initial letters. Contact MNML customer service to confirm the fit before you order the two together. 

What is a box chain?
A box chain is made of small square links joined into a smooth, continuous line. It looks sleek and modern, and it suits both solo wear and pendants.

Will the slider stay in place?
The bead holds the chain securely in normal wear. Over time, the grip can loosen slightly with frequent adjusting. Adjust it gently, and avoid pulling hard on the chain itself.

How do I stop a fine chain from kinking?
Lay it flat or hang it when you store it, and don't bunch it with other jewellery. Fine box chains can kink if they're folded sharply or knotted.

Will the chain tarnish?
Sterling silver can darken over time, and rhodium plating wears gradually with regular use, often faster in humid weather. Keep it away from perfume, lotion and chlorine, and store it dry.

Can I shower or swim with the chain?
No. Take it off before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Water, sweat and chlorine speed up tarnishing on silver.

Is the chain suitable for sensitive skin?
Rhodium plating over 925 sterling silver is well tolerated by most skin types, because the plating sits between the silver alloy and your skin. If your skin reacts easily to metals, the titanium pieces in MNML's Elements collection are the most reliable choice.
