DOULE UP on of my favorite and most popular chain styles with this bad boy!
I find it less common to see a chain that is double-linked like this one, which makes it all the more special!
I have styled this solo, and with several long, smaller chains layered atop. This semi-hollow option gives the heavy-weight look without the extra cost, but still sits at a nice 21.6 g.
You don't need any of those to rock double link style, but it's an idea if you want to feel like you have multi-use piece!
Curb chains are known for their flat(round or oval-shaped) interlocking, twisted links. The links are twisted until flattened. In some cases they can even be fed through a rolling mill to make the chain truly flat.
Their use and purpose can be tracked back to ancient civilizations where Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans alike used these inks for various purposed to include jewelry adornment and even armor.
Curb chains also come from the equestrian world! They play an important role in the bridle setup, typically attaching to rings of a curb bit, often in use with a curb strap

CARE & MAINTENANCE
*NOTE: Different gemstones require different kinds of care. Diamonds are the hardest gems on the Mohs scale and will scratch themselves and other gems. Store these away from other diamond items as well as other gemstones. Pearls are one of the softest, and require careful cleaning. Emeralds and topaz are prone to scratching, so you may want to limit cleaning. You can pay for a professional cleaning if you'd like, and even re-oiling after years of wear. It is easy to research how to clean each type of gem but please reach out if you have any specific questions*
GOLD, SILVER & DIAMOND CLEANING:
Proper care & maintenance for vintage, estate, and antique jewelry, involves appropriate cleaning and proper storage. This applies to modern pieces as well. It is best to AVOID harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and excessive moisture. Jewelry should be stored out of sunligh in an individual pouch or box (if it is a delicate piece or a semi-hollow item I would recommend storing in a hard covered box or case), and in a cool, dry place.
While it is not necessary to clean your jewelry after each wear, a quick wipe down after every few uses to keep oils at bay, should keep it looking bright and shiny!
Cleaning Recommendations:
I use a soft, lint free coth to gently wipe away any dirt, oils, etc. I like to use a mild soap solution of 1/4 soap, 3/4 warm water and get foam going with a gentle stir (my preference is regular Dawn dish soap (unscented), OR Dawn foaming wash (unscented).
Depending on how dirty the item is, I may let it sit anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour or so. If you item is fairly dirty you will see this debris in the water after you take the piece out! After the item has sat in the solution, I use a baby toothbrush to gently scrub around all areas. By this point, any trapped dirt, skin, etc. will have been loosened and can be scrubbed out.
Thoroughly dry the item after cleaning, and make sure there is no excess moisture. Use a soft cloth and maybe compressed air (or blow) to make sure all moisture is gone.
Lastly, I use a polishing cloth to restore the item's luster and shine.
Most jeweler's offer professional cleaning services if you wish to do this every 6 months to a year
