You’ve chosen the pendant—the gemstone, the design, the metal. Everything looks perfect. But now you’re probably wondering about the part that actually makes it wearable: does it come with a chain? With many jewellery brands, that’s something you only find out later in the buying process. At Angara, there’s no guesswork. Every pendant is paired with a matching chain in the same precious metal, so your necklace arrives exactly as it should—complete.
But there are chain types, the lengths and the customization options—these are the details that quietly make or break how a pendant looks and feels on you. Consider this your quick guide to select the best chain for your pendant necklace.
Every Angara Pendant Comes With a Chain
Every Angara pendant ships with a standard 18-inch cable chain made in the exact same precious metal as your pendant – 18k yellow gold pendant comes with an 18k yellow gold chain. No exceptions, no mismatched metals, no “chain sold separately” fine print. It arrives ready to wear, secured with a lobster clasp—the fine jewellery standard for a reason.
So if you were wondering whether you’d need to budget for a chain on top of your pendant, you don’t.

Angara Pendants: Chain Customization Options Explained
Once you know a chain is included, the natural next question is: can I choose which one?
It depends on the pendant style and here’s the distinction worth knowing.
If your pendant is a loop pendant—meaning it’s not fixed to the chain and can slide freely—you have real flexibility. Loop pendants allow you to customize both the chain type and the chain length at the time of purchase, configured exactly the way you want before your piece goes into production. Since every Angara pendant is custom-made after your order is placed, your preferences are built in from the start.
If your pendant is fixed directly to the chain, the chain is integral to the design and can’t be swapped out. That said, it still ships with the standard 18-inch cable chain and can be adjusted to 16 inches as well.
The Two Chain Types—and How to Choose
For loop pendants, we offer two cable chain options with distinct weights and price points.
- Cable Chain – This classic 0.85mm cable chain comes at no additional cost. It features delicate, evenly spaced links that allow the pendant to remain the focus. It’s versatile, minimal and works beautifully with most pendant styles—from solitaire gemstones to halo settings and vintage-inspired drops. If you want the pendant to do the talking, this is the perfect choice.
- Premium Cable Chain – This 1.1mm cable chain comes at an additional cost. The links are more substantial and closely connected, giving the chain a stronger visual presence on the neckline. It’s not an upgrade in quality—both chains meet the same fine jewellery standards—but it does change the aesthetic. Choose the premium chain if you want the necklace to feel a bit more statement-making, with the chain itself playing a visible role in the overall look.

Chain Length Guide: Getting the Fit Right
Chain length plays a surprisingly big role in how a pendant looks once worn. It affects not just where the pendant sits, but how it pairs with different necklines and layering styles. We offer the following four chain lengths across our pendant collection.
- 16 inches – This length sits right at the collarbone and creates a structured, polished look. It pairs well with higher necklines like crew necks or button-down shirts. It is included at no additional cost.
- 18 inches – The most universally flattering length, sitting just below the collarbone. It works well with almost any neckline and is the standard chain length included with every pendant at no additional cost.
- 20 inches – This length falls slightly lower on the chest and works beautifully with V-necklines or layered necklace looks. It is available for an additional charge.
- 22 inches – The longest option offered for Angara pendants. It creates a more relaxed look and works well as a base layer in necklace stacks. This too is available for an additional charge.
Buying a pendant should feel simple, not confusing and with Angara, it is. Every pendant arrives with a matching chain included, crafted in the same precious metal and ready to wear from the moment you open the box. From there, you can personalize your necklace further by selecting different chain types or lengths—depending on the pendant style you choose. The result is a piece that isn’t just beautiful on its own, but balanced, wearable and designed perfectly for you.
