Solid 14K Gold Hand Chains

How to choose a solid 14K gold hand chain

A hand chain, also called a hand bracelet or slave bracelet, links a bracelet at the wrist to a ring on the finger with a fine chain across the back of the hand. Choose one by the central motif, the stone and the fit of both the bracelet and the ring. Ours are solid 14K gold stamped 585, chain, ring and clasp included.

Choose the motif

Several of our hand chains are built around the Şahmeran, a figure from Anatolian folklore that appears often in Turkish jewelry. You can pick a version with an emerald color pear stone, one with a blue stone, or one with baguette stones and an adjustable fit. For protection symbolism, the evil eye hand chain carries a pave nazar. If you prefer something simpler, the hand chain with three floating stones keeps the look light. The exact stone in each piece is described on its listing. To learn more about the symbols, read about Turkish jewelry traditions.

Getting the fit right

Two measurements matter: wrist size and the finger the ring will sit on, usually the middle finger. The chain across the hand should lie flat without pulling when you make a fist. Adjustable designs are the safest choice for gifts. Our hand chain bracelet guide explains how to measure and how to put one on with one hand, and the ring size guide helps with the finger.

When to wear one

Hand chains are popular for weddings, henna nights, festivals and evenings out, and the dainty versions work every day. Because the chain crosses the hand, take it off for washing dishes, gardening or the gym to avoid snagging. Pair it with a plain ring on another finger and keep other bracelets on the opposite wrist so the design stays clear. For a matching wrist piece, browse our gold bracelets.

Stones and care

Pave and baguette stones in our hand chains are cubic zirconia unless the listing says otherwise. Clean the chain with warm soapy water and a soft brush, then dry it fully. Store it flat or hanging so the fine links do not knot.

Frequently asked questions

Are your hand chains solid gold?

Yes. The bracelet, connecting chain and ring are all solid 14K gold stamped 585.

How do I know my ring size for a hand chain?

Measure the finger you plan to wear it on, usually the middle finger, using our ring size guide. Adjustable designs give you more room.

Are the stones real gemstones?

Each listing names the stone used. Pave and baguette accents are cubic zirconia, and we never describe CZ as diamond.

Is a hand chain comfortable for daily wear?

The dainty styles are light enough for daily wear. Remove it for heavy hand work so the chain does not catch.
