Frequently asked questions
What types of necklace chains are available at William May?
Our collection is filled with versatile necklace designs for every occasion, including:
- Cable — A traditional design made of uniform round or oval links that are the same size throughout.
- Curb — Durable, flat links that interlock closely, letting the chain sit comfortably against your skin.
- Figaro — A decorative Italian-style pattern made from three small links followed by one longer oval link.
- Box — Sturdy square links that provide a smooth, four-sided design that's resistant to snapping.
- Fancy — Unique, artistic link shapes that stand out from classic designs, making them great statement pieces.
- Herringbone — Slanted links laid flat to create a shimmering, silk-like effect that sits flush on the neck.
- Rope — Tightly woven small links that create a spiralling, twisted texture similar to a strand of rope.
- Trace — Fine, lightweight oval links that are the perfect match for smaller, delicate pendants.
How to layer necklaces?
Mastering this technique is all about mixing different weights and lengths to create a tiered effect. You should start with a shorter, delicate trace chain and add a mid-length pendant necklace, then finish with a longer chunky piece. This helps to avoid tangling and means each separate design is clearly visible.
How to store necklaces to avoid tangles?
Keeping your jewellery knot-free is essential if you want your pieces to last. We recommend using a jewellery stand where you can hang each chain individually to prevent any metal-on-metal scratching.
If you're travelling, placing your necklaces in small, separate pouches or even threading them through a straw can stop them from becoming a tangled mess.
