When it comes to jewelry, few pieces feel as personal—or as effortlessly stylish—as a chain necklace. Whether layered for texture or worn solo for subtle shine, chains are the foundation of every timeless jewelry collection. At OBY Jewelry, we reimagine different chain styles through a sustainable lens—crafted from recycled S925 silver and 18k gold vermeil, designed to last beyond seasons and trends.
1. The Curb Chain
Smooth, strong, and endlessly versatile—the curb chain is a wardrobe essential. Its flat, interlocking links reflect light beautifully, making it perfect for both casual days and dressed-up nights.
✨ OBY’s take: Petite Curb Chain Necklace — sleek, minimal, and ideal for layering or wearing solo.
Best for: Everyday wearers who love clean lines and timeless appeal.
2. The O-Link Chain
Bold yet balanced, the O-link chain features rounded links that feel both sculptural and modern. It adds instant sophistication to simple outfits and pairs effortlessly with pendants.
✨ OBY’s take: O-Link Core Necklace — handcrafted from recycled silver, striking in its simplicity.
Best for: Those who prefer statement pieces that still feel refined.
3. The Paperclip Chain
Minimal, modern, and endlessly versatile—the paperclip chain features elongated rectangular links for a clean, geometric look. It’s perfect for layering or adding a charm for personalization.
✨ OBY’s take: Glossy Paperclip Chain Necklace — a contemporary classic that stands beautifully on its own or in a stack.
Best for: Minimalists who appreciate structure and elegance.
4. The Beaded Chain
The beaded chain—sometimes called a ball chain—adds soft texture and dimension. Its subtle detailing makes it perfect for creating relaxed, layered looks that still feel elevated.
✨ OBY’s take: Ocean Rhythm Bead Necklace — effortless, sunlit energy in recycled silver.
Best for: Free spirits who love laid-back luxury.
5. The Pearl Chain
Where modern meets timeless. The pearl chain combines lustrous pearls with metal links for a mix of softness and strength. It’s elegant enough for special occasions yet versatile enough for everyday styling.
✨ OBY’s take: Convertible Pearl Chain Necklace — wear it long, short, or layered to fit your mood.
Best for: Those who love a feminine edge with a modern twist.
