Chain pendant selection guide

All METINI pendants have interchangeable clasps, allowing us to technically match them to various chain widths and weaves. However, this does not mean that every pendant will look proportionate on every chain. When choosing, it's essential to pay attention primarily to the chain's width and the pendant's dimensions.

We will automatically select the appropriate clasp, attach the pendant to the chain, and prepare the complete set for shipping.

1) Can every pendant be adapted to different chains?

Yes. Our pendants feature interchangeable clasps, allowing us to select the appropriate clasp for the width and type of the chosen chain.

However, a technical match does not always guarantee the best visual effect. A small pendant might "get lost" on a very thick chain, while an overly large pendant might look disproportionate on a delicate weave.

Proportion is key: the thicker and more massive the chain, the larger the pendant usually looks best on it.

2) How to choose the pendant size for chain thickness?

The exact dimensions of each pendant are provided in its product description and on its photo. You can therefore easily compare the height and width of the pendant with the thickness of the chosen chain.

The ranges below are approximate stylistic recommendations. The pendant's height is measured from the top of the clasp to its lowest point.

Chain Width Subtle effect Proportional effect Strong accent
3–6 mm approx. 20–35 mm approx. 30–45 mm approx. 40–60 mm
7–10 mm approx. 25–40 mm approx. 35–55 mm approx. 50–70 mm
12–15 mm approx. 35–50 mm approx. 45–65 mm approx. 60–80 mm
20–30 mm approx. 45–60 mm approx. 55–75 mm approx. 70–90 mm
31–42 mm It's best to choose the largest models indicated in the "Matching pendants for this chain" section.

These are approximate values. The final effect also depends on the pendant's shape, width, massiveness, and the type of chain weave.

3) Where to find the best-matching pendants?

On the specific chain's page, you'll find the section "Matching pendants for this chain". This section displays a collection of pendants that best suit the given model in terms of size, proportion, and appearance.

This is the easiest way to choose a pendant that complements the specific width and weave of the chain well.

Remember: the exact dimensions of each pendant can be found on both the product photo and in the product description.
