Examples include 3 mm round stones designed to lay flat. Profile details sometimes list graduated widths given as ranges, for example 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. or 1/8 in. to 3/16 in.

Many styles are fixed-length (for example 16, 18, or 20 inches). At least one design includes a 3-inch extender, allowing the chain to be worn from 15 to 18 inches.
