3mm White Gold Tennis Chain: The Pendant Chain for Men

If a pendant is part of the plan, start here. The 3mm White Gold tennis chain is the one men's chain in the SKRT lineup that takes every pendant we make, and it brings its own line of ice when you wear it alone.

In short: 3mm wide, a single row of round-cut settings, heavy 18K gold plating in White Gold over a 316L stainless steel core, lengths from 16 to 24 inches, and SKRT's triple-lock latch. It is backed by SKRT's Lifetime Guarantee.

Why 3mm is the pendant chain

SKRT matches pendants to chains by bail size, not by guesswork, and every SKRT pendant fits a 3mm chain. That includes the Mini pendants, which fit chains up to 3mm and no wider. So if you like to rotate pendants, this is the safest base you can own. A few White Gold pieces that suit it:

• Iced Emerald Hamsa Hand Pendant in White Gold, a fully iced hamsa with step-cut rows in the palm
• Iced Heart Pendant in White Gold, a clean, simple shape
• Iced Mini Emerald Hamsa Hand Pendant in White Gold, the smallest hamsa, made for 3mm chains like this one

For a pendant, think 22 or 24 inches. Those lengths let the piece hang below the collarbone instead of sitting on the neckline. The SKRT Size Guide shows where each length falls.

The best supporting layer

Worn with a heavier chain, the 3mm tennis becomes the bright edge of the stack. Pair it with a Cuban Link Chain in White Gold - 12mm or step it up with a Diamond Tennis Chain in White Gold - 6mm, and keep about 2 inches between the two lengths so they do not tangle. Keep the whole stack in White Gold and it reads as one deliberate look rather than two separate chains.

How the triple-lock clasp works

The clasp is a box with a tongue that clicks into place, plus two side latches that fold over it. Click the tongue in first, then close both latches. To take the chain off, open the latches before pressing the release. With all three engaged, the chain stays shut through everyday movement.

White Gold, cool tones

White Gold is the brightest, coolest of SKRT's finishes. It sits naturally with a silver-tone or steel watch and looks sharpest against black, white and gray. If you wear mostly cool colors, this is the finish that disappears into the outfit and lets the ice show.

A matching wrist

The single-row look carries over to the wrist. The Diamond Tennis Bracelet in White Gold - 4mm is the closest match in scale: one step wider than the chain, so it still reads as a set. For a stronger wrist, the Diamond Tennis Bracelet in White Gold - 6mm balances a chain-and-pendant look, since the pendant already pulls attention to the chest. Wear the bracelet on the hand without a watch, or stack it next to a steel watch with a little space between them.

Care and availability

Treat it as a plated piece: last on, first off, no pools, hot tubs, saltwater or long hot showers, and a microfiber wipe after wear. The full routine is on our Care Instructions page. Availability changes by length. If yours is not available, the Diamond Tennis Chain in White Gold - 4mm is the closest alternative and still fits regular SKRT pendants.

Quick answers

How do I close a tennis chain clasp?

Click the tongue into the box until you hear it seat, then fold both side latches down. Open the latches first when you take it off.

Do Mini pendants fit this chain?

Yes. Mini pendants fit chains up to 3mm, and this chain is exactly 3mm.

Can I shower with it on?

Take it off. Hand washing and rain are fine, but hot water and soap residue dull plating over time.
