Common materials include sterling silver (often rhodium- or rose-plated), various base metals such as zinc alloy, copper, and brass, gold-plated or gold-dipped finishes (including 14K gold dip/14k ion plating), and some listings that note recycled zinc.

Chain lengths vary. Many listings show overall lengths around 16–18 inches (the most common), while some styles are offered longer (for example 21 inches or 55 inches). A few listings note much shorter components or specific details (for example a 2-inch short component) rather than a full-chain length.

Some listings include extenders or adjustable chains. Examples noted include a 3-inch extender on certain sets, adjustable 16–18 inch extender chains for lockets, and chains advertised to be worn at 16, 17, or 18 inches on small pendant styles.

Reported finishes include rhodium plating (typically over sterling silver), rose plating or rose gold over silver, gold plating or gold-dipped finishes, and 14K gold ion plating applied over a brass base.

Chain styles shown include cable chains (single and double), rolo, curb, and Singapore chains, as well as layered cable combinations used for multi-chain pieces.
