Collection: Hand Chains

What is a hand chain?

A hand chain, also called a hand bracelet or finger bracelet, combines a ring worn on the finger and a bracelet, linked by a fine chain running across the back of the hand. This piece has a long history: in India, the hathphul, literally "hand flower", has been worn for centuries, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York holds a beautiful gold example set with rubies and emeralds. Today, the hand chain is lighter and just as easy to wear in town as at an evening event.

How do you choose a hand chain?

• Style: a simple beaded chain for a minimalist look, like our beaded hand chain, or a chain set with cubic zirconia that catches the light with every move.
• Number of strands: a single strand stays subtle, while a multi-strand hand chain dresses the wrist like a stack of bracelets.
• Colour: a gold hand chain with an 18k fine gold finish for a warm glow, silver-tone for a more graphic effect, or a touch of colour with our green cubic zirconia.

How do you wear hand jewelry?

On its own, a hand chain makes any hand elegant, with a nude manicure or a deep red. For a bolder look, add one or two fine rings on the other fingers and a bangle or chain bracelet from our bracelets. It is the perfect piece for a wedding, a summer evening or a holiday in the sun, and it goes beautifully with our body chains.

Is a stainless steel hand chain durable?

Yes. Our hand chains are made of surgical stainless steel: they are waterproof, tarnish free and suit most sensitive skin, a real plus since nickel is the most allergenic metal according to the French consumer association UFC-Que Choisir. Simply take it off for the dishes or sport so the chain doesn't catch. Our article on stainless steel jewelry explains the right care.
