If you don't have a chain, here are different options that I offer (choose from the drop-down menu).
CHAINS (BY SIZE)
1 - Saint Joan chain (smooth gold)
This is the shortest chain. It is a 15 3/4 in simple, elegant "forcat" chain. It is made of Gold filled, an American alloy little known in France, yet of excellent quality because it contains much more gold than conventional plating. Perfect for a choker style, it's also ideal for young girls.
Shown here with the small sun monstrance.
2 - Saint Elisabeth chain (golden with grains)
This is the intermediate size, 16 1/2 in. long in "forcat" chain. With its alternating small golden beads, it reminds me of a rosary. These grains do not prevent the medallion rings from passing through. It's made of gold-plated sterling silver.
Shown here with the star-crowned Miraculous Medal (medium size).
3 - Saint Claire chain (Silver)
It's the same size as the Saint Elisabeth chain, but in solid silver. I have several creations mounted on silver, which gave me the idea of creating a chain to go with it.
Shown here with the silver Cross of Glory.
4 - Saint Therese chain (fine-grained gold)
This is the longest chain (in single turn): 19 11/16 in. in gourmet chain. The spirit of the rosary can be found here, with its very fine grains. It's a more "feminine" chain, less suited for young girls because of its size. It's perfect for long wear or to be worn in the winter over a sweater. Made in gold filled.
Shown here with the Versailles cross.
Next, I offer you a series of colored chains to wear as a saltire, or doubled, as you wish! They evoke the spirit of a rosary but in a colorful and sparkling version. They are all 39 3/8 in. long, and their links are made of stainless steel and adorned with colored resin beads. They are assembled with classic clasps, but their large size allows you to wrap them twice without even having to open them, very practical!
5 - Saint Blandine chain (double white beads)
Shown here with the large white star-crowned Miraculous Medal.
6 - Saint Sabine chain (doubled with blue grains)
Shown here with the large blue star-crowned Miraculous Medal
7 - Saint Virginia chain (doubled with green grains)
Shown here with the large green star-crowned Miraculous Medal.
8 - The Saint Regina chain (double chain with red beads)
9 - Saint Nathalie chain (double chain with black beads)
Shown here with the black sun cross
10 - Saint Cecilia chain (double with multicolored beads)
(white, blue, black, pink, red, green)

It is always recommended to remove gold-plated jewelry before washing to avoid altering the gilding and to prolong its beautiful shine.
