Rope chains are a popular jewellery choice that are versatile, durable and can be worn with both small and large pendants. Choosing the right size for your chain will depend on your personal preferences and styling needs. If you are looking for a thick silver rope chain, there are two variations you should be aware of: 3mm and 5mm. Both offer their own unique pros and cons, so it is important to understand the differences between them before making a decision.
3mm Rope Chain
The 3mm variation of the rope men’s sterling silver rope chain in width and is a great option for those who want a subtle piece that is versatile and compatible with many different pendants. This chain is also lightweight in weight, so it is comfortable to wear on a daily basis. It is resistant to tangling and reflects light well due to its twisted link pattern. However, the lack of customisation options can make this chain less versatile and it is harder to repair if a single part becomes damaged.

5mm Rope Chain
The wider width of the 5mm version of the rope chain makes it ideal for those who are looking for a bolder and more eye-catching piece of jewellery. The bigger width can be a little difficult to style with smaller pendants, as it can cause the bail to fit too loosely. The larger width also makes this chain more expensive as it utilises more materials.
