Brass Curb Chain Necklace | 100100206987306

How to measure your Brass Curb Chain Necklace

1. Length on your body
   • Use a soft measuring tape (or string + ruler). Wrap it where you want the chain to sit, then add length for your preferred drape:
     • Close fit: add 0–1 in (0–2.5 cm)
     • Classic at collarbone: add ~2 in (5 cm)
     • Relaxed/stacking: add 3–4 in (7.5–10 cm)
   • Measuring an existing necklace: lay it flat and measure end-to-end including the clasp. Most jewelers list total length this way.
2. Chain width (how bold it looks)
   • Place the chain on a ruler and measure straight across the widest part of a link in millimeters (mm).
   • General feel by width:
     • 2–3 mm: fine and minimal
     • 4–5 mm: medium everyday
     • 6–8+ mm: bold statement
   • Adding a pendant? Ensure the pendant’s bail inner diameter is larger than the chain width (ideally by ≥0.5 mm).
3. Quick fit guide (approximate)
   • Choker/close: 14–16 in (35–40 cm)
   • Classic: 18 in (45 cm)
   • More drop: 20–22 in (50–55 cm)
   • Layering/low: 24 in (60 cm) and longer

Notes: Minor variance (±0.5 mm width, ±0.5 cm length) can occur due to manufacturing. Body shape and neck size affect where each length falls.

Materials & construction

• Base metal: Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc known for its warm, golden tone and durability.
• Curb chain profile: Flattened, interlocking links that lie comfortably and flat against the skin for a sleek, timeless look.
• Finish & feel: Solid, weighty feel with smooth edges; designed for everyday wear.
• Patina: Brass naturally oxidizes over time, developing a darker patina. It can be brightened again with gentle polishing.
• Skin sensitivity note: Brass alloys can vary. If you are highly sensitive (e.g., to nickel), confirm alloy details or wear over clothing.
• Sustainability: Brass is highly recyclable and can be refinished to extend its life.

Model information

• On-body photos (if shown) are for scale and styling reference.
• The look pictured typically sits near the collarbone for a classic fit; for a similar drape, choose a length close to your neck circumference + ~2 in (5 cm).
• For exact on-model length/width, refer to any size or variant label displayed with the image.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily habits
  • Last on, first off: put the necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hair products; remove before workouts, showering, or swimming.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with water, sweat, chlorine, salt, perfumes, and lotions to slow patina.
• After wear
  • Wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth to remove oils and moisture.
• Cleaning
  • Quick refresh: use a jewelry polishing cloth suitable for brass.
  • Deeper clean: soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 2–3 minutes; brush gently with a soft brush; rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • Tarnish care: use a non‑abrasive brass polish sparingly. Test on a small area first. Avoid harsh chemical dips and abrasive pastes, especially if any plating or lacquer is present.
• Storage
  • Store fully dry in a pouch or box, ideally with an anti‑tarnish strip. Keep pieces separate to prevent scratches.
  • Travel tip: seal in a small zip bag with most of the air pressed out to reduce humidity exposure.

Style tips

• Wear solo for a clean, minimal look that complements tees, button‑ups, and slip dresses.
• Layering made easy: stack at 16 + 18 + 20 in to create depth; mix widths (e.g., fine + medium curb) for texture.
• Make it bold: choose a wider curb (6–8+ mm) and pair with an open‑collar shirt or blazer.
• Pendant pairing: a slim pendant on a fine curb; for heavier medallions use a medium or bold width and ensure the bail fits the chain.
• Mix metals thoughtfully: brass pairs beautifully with sterling silver or gold‑tone pieces for a modern, curated stack.
• Gifting shortcut: close fit 16–18 in suits most; choose longer (20–22 in) for more drop or broader frames.
