Mariner chains are available in two styles: concave mariner chains and normal mariner chains. Both styles are defined by the type of links used in making the chain. Each link looks similar in shape to an eye--an oval that is divided vertically in the center. Each link is joined to another to complete the mariner chain
Some people wear thick mariner chains as their primary accessories. Others, however, will simply use the mariner chain as a means to wear another accessory, such as a pendant. Mariner chains are commonly sold in gold--either white or yellow. You can also find chains that include elements of both colors of gold. For example, a yellow goldchain with white plating might be perfect for a pendant that has elements of both white and gold.
