Belcher chain is a sub-type of trace chain having broad, oval, round, or D-shaped links, all of which are interlocked and soldered together. Also known as the rolo chain, the links in a belcher chain are wider than they are thick. If you pull the chain, you will find that the links alternate 180 degrees, thus giving the chain a classic look. In general, you will find the belcher chain thicker than most styles, which is why they are ideal for standalone necklaces. To be specific, this type of chain is very popular among men’s jewelry.
