Three combinations to start with

  • The everyday stack

    16" paperclip (5 × 2 mm) · 18" satellite (1.5 mm) · 20" cable (2 mm), all gold filled. Three textures, one metal.

    Shop gold filled 

  • Mixed metals

    16" sterling silver curb · 18" gold filled rope. The trick is one chunky and one fine; the metals stop competing.

    Shop silver 

  • A stone as the anchor

    18" gemstone rosary chain with a 16" plain cable above it. Pick the stone by colour; the plain chain keeps it wearable.
