Cord necklaces

Even a few millimeters can make the difference between a cord necklace that looks subtle and one that really stands out. At IDENTIM, you'll currently find widths ranging from 1.70 to 4.50 mm.

• 1.70 to 2.00 mm: These delicate designs have a clean, understated look. They pair well with a pendant and are also a great choice if this is your first time wearing a necklace.
• 3.20 mm: The chain is visible and has a masculine look, yet it’s still easy to wear in everyday life. You can wear it on its own or pair it with a matching cord bracelet.
• 4.50 mm: This width is much more noticeable and makes a bolder statement. It really stands out when paired with a simple outfit.

The width that's right for you depends less on set rules or your body type. What matters most is how understated or striking you want your look to be.

The right length determines where your necklace sits and how much it stands out in your outfit. It’s not just the length in centimeters that matters, but also your neck circumference, body type, and clothing.

50 cm necklaces usually sit closer to the neck and often end just above the chest. 55 cm necklaces look a bit looser and are particularly versatile. At 60 cm, the necklace falls significantly lower and looks great even over a T-shirt. 70 cm creates a longer, more eye-catching look, while 80 cm makes a particularly strong statement and is better suited for a deliberately bold style. Longer necklaces tend to stand out even more when worn over a sweater.

If you'd like to wear a cord necklace with a pendant, you should factor in the pendant's additional length. The available chain lengths always depend on the specific model.

There are various ways to style a cord necklace for men. Worn on its own, its twisted texture really stands out. Delicate styles have a more understated look, while wider versions make a bold statement even without additional jewelry.

When paired with a pendant, the chain takes on a personal touch. A cross, compass, or engraved plaque can symbolize a memory, a person, or an important moment. Chains that are 1.70 or 2.00 mm wide tend to look particularly balanced as a base. For chunkier designs, make sure the pendant’s eyelet is large enough.

Layering also works well with a cord necklace (both gold and silver). For example, try pairing a shorter style with a longer pendant chain. The look is most understated when the colors of the materials match and you don’t mix too many eye-catching textures.

The modern cord design isn’t just striking as a necklace. You can also pair a cord necklace with a men’s bracelet to create a coordinated look. This creates a set that connects the neck and wrist with the same twisted link structure. As a result, your jewelry looks coordinated without being too formal or overdone. Depending on the model, the bracelets are available in 19 or 21 cm lengths and in rhodium-plated 925 silver, gold-plated silver, 333 gold, or 585 gold.

As a gift for men, a set like this is perfect for occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, or anniversaries. You can make it even more personal by adding a pendant or an engraved plaque.
