John Hardy Curb Chain Necklace in Sterling Silver, 11mm, 18, 20, 22 or 24 in [NM98814]

The John Hardy Curb Chain Necklace NM98814 gives the classic curb chain a bold, sculptural presence. Artisan handcrafted in reclaimed Sterling Silver, the necklace is composed of substantial 11mm links and punctuated by John Hardy’s signature carved chain motif—a distinctive detail that connects this contemporary design to the brand’s established tradition of hand-worked metal.

Curb links are shaped to lie relatively flat against the body, allowing the necklace to make a strong visual statement while maintaining a balanced, comfortable drape. The broad interlocking surfaces reflect light across the chain, emphasizing both its considerable scale and the precise alignment of each link. At 11mm wide, this is a true heavyweight necklace designed to serve as the central element of a jewellery look.

The signature carved chain motif introduces additional texture and craftsmanship within the otherwise streamlined profile. This detailed element creates a recognizable John Hardy identity without interrupting the necklace’s clean rhythm. A secure pusher clasp is incorporated into the design, preserving the continuity of the chain while providing a practical and dependable closure.

NM98814 is available in four separate fixed lengths. The 18-inch option offers the closest fit and typically rests near the base of the neck. The 20-inch length provides a little more room through the neckline, while the 22-inch version creates a relaxed drop below the collarbone. At 24 inches, the necklace achieves its longest and most dramatic presentation across the upper chest. These length choices allow the substantial 11mm gauge to be tailored to different body proportions and styling preferences.

The necklace is powerful enough to wear entirely on its own, where the weight and geometry of the curb links can take centre stage. It also works with simpler rings, bracelets or watches that echo its polished Sterling Silver tone. For mixed-metal styling, a warm gold accent can provide contrast while leaving the broad silver chain as the dominant element.

Pair the shorter lengths with an open collar, crew neckline or minimalist top to frame the necklace clearly. The longer options work particularly well over knitwear, beneath an open jacket or with layered clothing, where their extended drape gives the substantial chain more room to be appreciated.

Combining classic curb-link construction, heavyweight proportions and a signature carved detail, the John Hardy NM98814 offers an expressive interpretation of an enduring chain design. Its reclaimed Sterling Silver construction and artisan craftsmanship give the necklace substance beyond its physical scale, creating a bold piece intended for lasting wear.
