Gold Waist Chain for Women
A waist chain sits on the hips or the natural waist and shows between a cropped top and the waistband. It is the body chain people keep on the longest, because it disappears under clothes and does not catch on anything. Our gold waist chains are mostly stainless steel with a gold finish, in single fine chains, crystal drops or pearl stations.
Belly chain gold waterproof: steel or plated alloy?
A waterproof belly chain must be stainless steel or solid gold; plating on brass or zinc alloy wears off in water. The stainless steel waist chain, the crystal waist chain and the long crystal belly chain are all steel. Rinse them after salt water or chlorine and dry the clasp.
Waist Chain with Name
The custom name waist chain is 18k gold plated stainless steel with a name, date or initials cut from metal at the front. The personalized 2-layer waist chain adds a second strand with a zircon detail. Write the text in the order note at checkout, exactly as it should appear. Personalised pieces are made to order and cannot be returned, so check the spelling twice.
Belly Chain Meaning
In West Africa, waist beads mark womanhood and are worn under clothes for life. In South Asia, gold waist chains are bridal and traditional jewelry. In Europe and the US, a belly chain is a summer accessory and, for many couples, a private piece that only one person sees. There is no single meaning; the one that counts is yours.
Practical note: a belly chain worn every day slowly marks where it sits. Move the clasp to the side once in a while, and take it off at night if you sleep on your stomach.
Waist chain for plus size women: how to measure
Measure with a soft tape exactly where the chain will rest, not your trouser size. A chain worn on the hips sits 3 to 5 cm lower than the natural waist and needs roughly 8 cm more length. Our steel waist chains come in 70, 80 and 90 cm, each with a 20 cm extender, which covers hip measurements up to about 110 cm. If you are between two lengths, take the longer one and shorten it with the clasp.
