The Chain You Never Take Off
The Franco is one of those chain styles that just works with everything. The interlocking V-shaped links create a dense, flexible weave that drapes perfectly against your chest and catches light from every direction. At 3mm, it’s the sweet spot between subtle and substantial — refined enough for the office, bold enough for a night out. This is the chain you put on Monday and forget about until someone compliments it on Friday.
Why the Franco
-
Virtually Indestructible
The Franco link is one of the most durable chain styles ever designed. The interlocking V-pattern distributes stress evenly — it won’t kink, twist, or break like thinner styles.
-
PVD Gold Plating
18K gold PVD vacuum plating that’s fade-resistant, scratch-resistant, and hypoallergenic. This isn’t costume jewelry gold — it’s molecularly bonded.
-
Water & Sweat Proof
Shower in it, sweat in it, sleep in it. The 316L stainless steel core and PVD finish handle everything your day throws at it.
The Link That Lasts
Zoom in on the Franco weave and you’ll see why this design has endured for decades. Each V-shaped link interlocks with the next at multiple points, creating a chain that’s both flexible and impossibly strong. The 18K gold PVD finish isn’t sprayed on — it’s vacuum-bonded at the molecular level, which means it resists scratches and fading in ways standard plating can’t touch.
What People Are Saying
FAQ
Everything You Need to Know
What’s a Franco chain?
A Franco chain features interlocking V-shaped links that create a dense, square-profile weave. It’s one of the strongest and most durable chain styles — originally Italian in design.
Will the gold wear off?
PVD vacuum plating is fundamentally different from standard gold plating. It bonds at the molecular level and is 5x more resistant to wear and fading. With normal use, it lasts years.
Can I layer it with other chains?
Absolutely. At 3mm, it’s perfect as a base layer under thicker chains or solo for a minimal look. Choose a different length than your other chains for clean layering.
Is it hypoallergenic?
Yes. Both the 316L stainless steel base and the PVD gold plating are hypoallergenic. Safe for sensitive skin — no green marks, no irritation.
What length should I choose?
18” for collarbone, 20” for upper chest, 22” for mid-chest. For layering, pick a length that differs from your other chains by at least 2 inches.
