The same river, but in a cooler register: white gold reflects a bluish light that makes every stone stand out. In the world of men's gold chains, everything depends on the relationship between the width of the link and the build of the person wearing it.
This tennis link chain, in white gold color, is available in 4 mm or 5 mm thickness, with an 18-karat, 5-micron white gold-plated base and a box clasp. Every element has been chosen to last: this is not a seasonal piece of jewelry, it is a piece that you wear for years.
On fair skin as well as dark skin, white gold fades into the background and leaves the stage entirely to the stones. The result is a line of pure light at the base of the neck, discreet from a distance, spectacular up close.
On a diamond chain, it is the continuity of the luminous line that makes all the difference. It is this detail that separates a striking piece from an anonymous accessory, and that is where the essential pleasure of wearing it lies.
The base is 18-karat, 5-micron white gold-plated. The stones are lab-simulated stones: they reproduce the fire of a diamond without the cost or fragility. A VVS necklace is recognized by the sharpness of the edges of each stone under the light.
The box clasp was chosen for its hold: it can be operated with one hand, locks firmly, and does not open on its own under the weight of the chain. On a piece of this format, that is a criterion just as important as the shine.
It is also an ideal base if you are looking for a men's pendant chain: it supports a medallion without losing its axis. The best tip is to measure a chain you already wear, or to pass a tape measure around your neck, letting it fall to the desired height.
| Length | Drop and effect |
|---|---|
| 45 cm | Worn high, close to the collar. The chain is entirely visible on a t-shirt and works well on its own. |
| 50 cm | The go-to length: it rests just below the collarbone. | 60 cm | Falls on the sternum, lets the chest breathe and highlights a large pendant. |
When in doubt, choose the longer one: a chain that is too short will ride up and feel tight. Our guide to 18-karat men's gold chains details each case.
The 18k men's gold chain finish provides that clean light that does not turn copper-colored over time. It pairs flawlessly with a watch in the same metal, and is perfect for layering with a thinner or thicker chain to create a layered effect. However, avoid mixing three different metal tones on the same neck.

Remove the chain before swimming, a long shower, or a workout: chlorine and sweat are the only true enemies of plating. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after each wear, then store it flat, away from humidity and friction with other jewelry.
A rinse in lukewarm soapy water followed by complete drying is enough to restore its shine. Avoid abrasive products and ultrasonic cleaners.
Each order is dispatched within 24 to 48 working hours, then delivered in 2 to 5 working days in metropolitan France (other countries: see our delivery page). The chain arrives in an Emir ICE box, ready to be given as a gift.
