New Catalogue: Premium Dokiya 2-Tone Black Rhodium Chains — 53 Designs
Chains are among the easiest pieces to sell to everyday buyers, and our range just got deeper. The Premium Dokiya 2-Tone (Black Rhodium) catalogue, code GB-055B, is our largest recent catalogue: 53 sterling silver chain designs in one consistent length and a finish that catches the eye.
This guide shows what is in the catalogue, how the weights are spread (the most useful thing to know before you order), and how to choose, display and look after the chains.

What "16 + 2 inches" means
The chain is 16 inches long and comes with a 2-inch extender, so it can be worn anywhere between 16 and 18 inches. A 16-inch chain usually sits around the collarbone, and 18 inches sits a little lower. That one adjustable fit matters in a shop: a single length fits most customers, so you do not need to stock several sizes of the same design. It also suits layering, because the same chain can be worn short on its own or a little longer with other necklaces.
What a 2-tone black rhodium finish is
Rhodium is a rare metal from the platinum family, applied as a very thin plating over silver. Black rhodium gives a deep, dark finish. In a 2-tone chain, the dark finish works together with a lighter tone, so the chain has contrast and looks richer than a single-colour finish. It is a modern look that stands apart from standard bright-silver chains in a showcase.
How the 53 designs are spread by weight
Silver jewellery is priced by weight, so the weight spread tells you how your range will look on a price list. These are the real weights of the 53 designs in GB-055B:
| Weight group | Number of designs |
|---|---|
| Under 4.5 g | 10 |
| 4.5 g to under 5 g | 17 |
| 5 g to under 5.5 g | 11 |
| 5.5 g to under 6 g | 7 |
| 6 g and above | 8 |
What this tells you:
- The middle is the busiest. 28 of the 53 designs weigh between 4.5 g and 5.5 g, so most of the catalogue sits in a tight band that is easy to price and display together.
- The lightest design is 3.95 g and the heaviest is 6.35 g. The heaviest chain has about 61% more silver than the lightest, so you can offer entry-level and more substantial chains from one catalogue.
- Weights repeat across designs. The 53 designs share 30 distinct weights, so several designs come in at exactly the same weight. That makes it simple to price and display them as a group.
Your rate for each chain depends on your account and is shown in the B2B Catalogue App, next to each design's weight and photo.
Choosing your first lot
Because every chain has the same length, comparing designs is simple: you are really choosing a pattern and a weight. If you are placing a first order, a practical approach is to take designs from the three busiest weight groups, so your price list has a clear low, middle and higher step, and to add a few of the heaviest chains as a premium choice. Tell us who your customers are and what they spend, and we will suggest a starting mix. A video call is the best way to see the finish and the chain pattern up close.
Stock changes from day to day, so check availability in the app, or ask us, before you plan around a particular design.
Selling chains well
- Let customers choose the length. Explain that the extender gives two lengths in one chain.
- Show layering. Display two chains of different weights together. Customers often buy a pair.
- Group by weight in your display. Light, medium and heavier chains in separate rows make the price steps obvious.
- Say that it is plated. A short note about care avoids returns and builds trust.
Caring for a 2-tone black rhodium chain
Pass these tips on to your customers:
- Put the chain on after perfume, lotion and hair products, and take it off before swimming, bathing or cleaning.
- Avoid chlorinated water and harsh chemicals.
- Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
- Store it flat or hanging in a pouch, so that it does not tangle, and keep it apart from other pieces so the plating is not scratched.
