If you’re considering investing in your first chain, congratulations, you’re making big moves. But you want to make sure that your first chain is really something special and unique. You want your first chain to make a big impression.

Here’s how you can find what you need to get yourself a few new iced-out chains.
Pick Your Metal
The first thing you need to do in creating your ultimate blinged-out new chain is to decide what metal you want your chain to be made out of. This step is important because the metal of your chain is what makes up most of it, so make sure you pick one that you love.
Here are some of the different metals you have to choose from.
Classic Yellow Gold
The classic staple of chains everywhere, yellow gold is what you think when you first think of a chain.
Gold has been valued as a precious metal since ancient civilizations, which is why everyone loves it so much. It has a bright, shiny appearance and eyecatching.
Yellow gold is the quintessential standard of chain necklaces. It looks rich and regal. If you want to go with a classic, then you definitely want to start off with a yellow gold chain.
White Gold
If you want to go just a bit more out of the box and unique without straying too far from the traditional, try out a white gold chain.
White gold has a clean appearance that looks good on everyone and offers a bit more neutral undertones when compared to the classic yellow gold.
If you want to go a route that’s just slightly different from the original yellow gold but still offers you the chance to claim you have a gold chain, white gold is the new classic you want to pick for your chain.
Silver
If you want to really go against the grain and try something really outside of the box, go for silver.
This offers a cool-toned classic and can be great for those of us who just want something different from the regular gold.
What Type of Chain do You Want?
