925 Sterling Silver · UK Hallmarked · Free Delivery Over £150 · 30-Day Returns
Craftsmanship you can see.
The Byzantine Chain is a men's silver chain with history woven into every link. Each one interlocked with the next, creating a dense, textured rope effect that has been prized since the Eastern Roman Empire. This isn't a pattern a machine can rush — it demands precision, link by link.
At 36 grams, this is the heaviest piece in the entire Heavy Lies collection. That's not a typo. Thirty-six grams of solid 925 sterling silver around your neck. At 5mm width it has proper presence without being overwhelming — the weight comes from the density of the weave, not excessive bulk.
This chain is a statement piece and our highest-value item. It doesn't need a pendant. UK hallmarked by an official Assay Office, secured with a lobster claw clasp.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions about this product
No. Sterling silver doesn't react with skin like plated brass does. It may develop a natural patina over time, which many people like. If not, a quick polish brings it back.
Every piece is UK hallmarked by Birmingham Assay Office. That's your legal guarantee of authenticity. Look for the stamp inside the clasp.
We recommend removing it. Chlorine and salt water can accelerate tarnishing. It won't damage the silver, but you'll need to polish it more often.
