MEASURING WIDTH
The width of a Chain is a central deciding point. Depending on the metal you choose, the width will play a critical role when making a final choice.
Were you considering a Chain for a Pendant? Measure the opening of your Bail (located at the top of your Pendant) to determine the correct width needed to make sure it passes through.
