A
hand chain — also called a hand chain bracelet or hand harness — wraps around the wrist and connects to a ring worn on one finger, creating a delicate chain across the back of the hand. It is one of the most distinctive pieces of
hand jewelry available, and one of the fastest-growing jewellery trends in Australia.
At Serendipity, our hand chain collection is handcrafted in Sydney by Johanna Rodriguez using
gold filled and
sterling silver — materials chosen for their durability and ability to hold their colour through daily wear, showering and sun.
The Selene Hand Chain
Our signature piece is the
Selene Hand Chain — inspired by Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. The Selene features genuine natural Iolite stones set along the chain, connecting a bracelet loop at the wrist to a ring loop at the finger. Available in 14ct gold filled, sterling silver 925, 9ct solid gold, and an 18k gold version with natural diamonds. Each piece is made to order in small batches.
What to look for in a hand chain
A well-made
hand chain bracelet should sit flat across the back of the hand without pulling or twisting. The middle chain length matters — ours measures 10 cm as standard and can be customised at checkout. The ring loop should sit comfortably at the base of your chosen finger without restricting movement.
How to style a hand chain
Hand chains work beautifully worn alone or layered with a fine bracelet on the same wrist. The gold filled Selene pairs naturally with stacking bracelets and a gemstone ring for a complete hand look. For everyday wear, the sterling silver version is lightweight enough to wear continuously.
All hand chains at Serendipity come with free shipping on orders over $99 across Australia.
