Explore men's rope chains crafted in 9ct yellow gold and sterling silver. Find durable rope chain necklaces in a range of lengths and widths at Stonex Jewellers.
A rope chain is made of small links twisted together so the chain looks like a rope. The rope chains on this page are mostly 9ct gold, and the listing says whether a chain is hollow or solid, how wide it is and which lengths it comes in.

Most chains here are 9ct yellow gold hollow rope chains in three widths, from 3.3mm to 4.4mm. There is also a sterling silver rope chain at 7.9mm with a diamond-cut finish.
A 3.3mm rope is slim enough to carry a pendant, and it is listed at 60cm and 65cm. The 4.4mm chain shows the twist clearly when worn on its own.
Hollow links can dent if they are crushed, so take the chain off for heavy work or the gym. For other link styles, see men’s chains or men’s silver chain.
As a guide, about 40–45 cm sits at the collarbone, 50–55 cm falls just below it, and 60 cm or longer sits lower on the chest. Chains that come in lengths have a Length Guide on the product page, with centimetres and inches.
