What are the different types of links for necklaces?
1 Answer

There are a wide variety of different types of links used in necklace chains. One of the most common is a cable link, which consists of oval or round links connected to each other. Box links are simple, but they feature square or rectangular-shaped links that connect. Curb links are similar to cable links, but their curves and thicker links give them a heavy durability. Other artistic link styles include flat links and herringbone links. Shop a variety of link necklaces and chains from top sellers on 1stDibs.
