What gives the THORN silver chain its shape?
Elongated links with pointed projections repeat along the full length. The chain arrives light; unplated silver gradually darkens through contact with air and skin. Recesses grow darker while friction lightens the raised edges. This is Living Silver, rather than black oxidation applied before the piece is worn.
THORN is the brand's third form. The family began with a chain link and grew into bracelets, chokers, earrings and rings. Its geometry brings together the aesthetics of CNC and 3D modelling. The sharp angles lightly prick the skin, making the chain's presence felt.
How do the chain's lengths, weights and prices compare?
XS is 40 cm, 11 g, $353. S is 45 cm, 12 g, $385. M is 50 cm, 13 g, $417. L is 75 cm, 18 g, $564. The finished piece may vary slightly in weight.
Each chain is made to order in about 2 weeks. This is the production time; delivery takes additional time. Select a length on the product page before ordering, since both weight and price depend on it.
Measure a chain whose fit you like, or place a soft tape at the height where you want the chain to sit. Compare the complete length. Fit depends on neck circumference and clothing: 40 cm will not sit in the same place on every person. See the chain length guide for the measuring method.
How does the chain differ from other THORN pieces?
The chain repeats the form in a long run around the neck. The bracelet places the links around the wrist; the earring and stud bring the sharp angle closer to the face. Use the comparison below to choose where and at what scale to wear the form.
Big Thorn differs in both construction and material: it is a rigid 925 silver bracelet fitted with carbon fiber elements. The other pieces in the table are silver. Explore the full THORN collection, or compare other constructions for the neck in the chains collection.
Who is the chain for, and what can you wear it with?
The chain is unisex. It can be the only object around your neck: the repeated sharp links already establish a pattern. For an open collar, try a tape at the intended length first; for a t-shirt or a thin sweater, measure over the same clothing. This helps you see where the line of links will end before choosing between 40, 45, 50 and 75 cm.
To build a set, a THORN bracelet or earring repeats the form elsewhere on the body. You do not need the whole family: a chain and one companion leave space between the objects. For a gift, finding out the length of a chain the person already wears is more useful than estimating a size from a photograph.
The form is felt against the skin; that is part of THORN's character. For everyday wear, consider your own sensitivity and usual clothing. For a length outside the catalogue, discuss the piece through Custom Order.
