chain necklace

Interlocking metal loops

A chain necklace is a necklace made of interlocking metal links rather than beads, gems, or cord.

Chains vary in style—from delicate cable links to chunky curb chains—and may be worn alone or with pendants: She layered several gold chain necklaces.

The term distinguishes linked metal jewelry from other necklace types.
