Collection: Rope Chains

Shop men's gold rope chains in real 10K, 14K and 18K gold. The rope chain is built from tiny links twisted into a spiral, which catches light from every angle and gives it more sparkle than almost any other style — without any stones. Papa Jewels rope chains come solid and hollow, in yellow, white and rose gold, with diamond-cut facets that boost the shine. Widths run from a fine 1.5 mm up to a heavy 10 mm, in 16" to 30" lengths. Wear one solo or use it to hang a cross or diamond pendant. Every order ships free and insured, with a lifetime warranty.

How to pick a gold rope chain

• Everyday chain: 2.5 mm to 4 mm, 20" to 22". Thin enough to wear daily or hold a small pendant.
• Statement chain: 5 mm to 10 mm. A thick men's rope chain that stands out on its own.
• Solid or hollow: solid rope is one of the most durable chains you can buy and resists kinking. Hollow rope gives the same look for less weight and cost.
• 10K, 14K or 18K: 10K is the toughest and most affordable. 14K and 18K have more gold and a richer color.
