How to Adjust Sliding Chains
Step-by-Step: How to Adjust the Length
- Hold the small Marahlago sterling silver logo flower tag firmly in one hand.
- Grip the silicone-lined sliding “ball” (friction bead) with your other hand.
- Gently slide the ball along the length of the chain until it reaches your desired position.
- Release—the smart mechanism will lock securely in place.
- After adjusting, put the chain on to see if it is the desired length. Make minor adjustments while wearing it.
What to Do If Your Slider Bead Feels Stuck
- Be gentle while adjusting and ensure the chain is straight while pulling through the slider. If the chain is bent, it will require more force to pull through the slider and may cause damage.
- If the sliding mechanism is not working properly, requires excessive force, or doesn't hold in place, it may be damaged. Please take a photo of your sliding bead and send it to us via the contact page.

If the slider bead won’t budge, do not force it or pull hard on the logo flower tag, as this may stretch or snap the sterling silver chain.
A “stuck” bead is almost always caused by a slight kink, twist, or bend in the chain near the entrance of the slider bead.
To safely loosen it:
- Lay the necklace flat and ensure the chain entering and exiting the bead is perfectly straight, without any twists or kinks.
- Run your fingers gently along that section of the chain to make sure it feels smooth and straight.
If the slider mechanism still requires excessive force, the internal silicone core may be damaged. Please do not force it, as pulling too hard may stretch or damage the chain links.
