How to Adjust Sliding Chains

Keep the chain straight while adjusting

Locate the Slider:

  • Find the sliding mechanism on the chain. It is a small round bead located next to the lobster clasp.

Adjust the Slider:

  • Pinch the ball, then use your other hand to hold the chain and gently pull the chain through the slider.

Test the Length:

  • After adjusting, put the chain on to see if it is the desired length. Make minor adjustments while wearing it.

Handle with Care:

  • 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.
