Some people might think that a necklace and a chain are the same, but they couldn't be more wrong. First of all, they're two completely different materials in this instance. A chain will always be made of metal and is generally not too long or short. On the other hand, a necklace is either made of metal or stone (or both). The length can vary considerably, and it's usually only worn around your neck - not so much over your body like you would wear a chain. If a chain is worn around your neck, it is usually made of gold, silver, or platinum.

 What is the difference between a necklace and a chain?

1) The chain is usually thicker:

• A necklace is usually thinner the chain.
• A chain is made of metal, and a necklace is made of different materials that are relative to your style. 

2) The chain can't do anything without the clasp:

• You can use a necklace as an ornament, or as part of another piece of jewelry or clothing.
• A necklace may look nice, but you don't need anything on it for sure.

 3) The clasp on a chain is typically larger than that in a necklace:

• If you're wearing an unadorned long strand of beads, however, both chains and necklaces will have the same size clasp (some unscrew for easy storage!).
• Neckl. These may have a clasp or a ring.
• A chain can not be used as a necklace.
• Chain and necklaces are usually made with the same materials.

4) Necklaces can be sewn on, but chains can't:

• Some necklaces have clasps designed for being sewn on to clothing, but that would still be classified as jewelry, not chains.
• Chain does make an excellent belt or tie chain.
• A necklace with a clasp can be slid over your head without a problem.
• Clasps are used to attach necklaces to clothing or other objects.

 5) A chain is more versatile than a necklace:

• Necklaces are made of (in general) softer materials than chains
• You'd wear a necklace on its own if it wasn't attached to anything else, but would never wear a chain as an entire outfit because chains are so practical.
• Necklaces and chains typically come in the same varieties of materials, but the requirements for construction are very different and have little in common with each other.
• Chain may be worn in a variety of ways. You could match it to other jewelry or wear it on its own.
• A necklace can be made out of a variety of materials, but chains are generally made of metal.
• Necklaces have many uses; chains do not

 6) Chains and necklaces both need adornments:

• A necklace could be used as an ornament for another piece of jewelry or to wear as part of clothing, but a chain would not be appropriate in the same circumstances. However, they can both fit under a hat or simply hang around the neck without anything else.
• A chain can be made into an ornament by attaching a pendant.
• A necklace could be worn as an adornment, but is more commonly worn as part of clothing.

 7) A chain isn't just jewelry, it's also hardware:

• Clasps are used to attach necklaces to other objects.
• Chains are made of metal and are more durable than necklaces.
• People generally wear chains on their clothes as an ornament and not a functional device.
• Necklaces often have clasps that look like ordinary buttons, but they're only for decoration, though some do actually work as functional devices (such as cameras). 

8) A necklace can be used as a fashion accessory:

• A necklace can serve as a fashion accessory – you could use it on its own, or add it to something else.
• Chain can not be used like this.
• You can wear both necklaces and chains at the same time, but they're typically worn separately.
• Necklaces generally make very good accessories for hats, scarves and other clothing items.

9) Chain and necklaces both have multiple uses:

• Necklace is usually worn with other pieces of jewelry or as a fashion accessory; chain is not.
• Necklaces can be used as an ornament, but are usually seen as part of clothing.

 10) Chain and necklace both come in many different materials:

• Chain is usually made of metal and is durable while necklaces can be made from a variety of materials.
• It should not matter which you are using to make your necklace because both are accessories for the clothing.
• You could use a chain or a necklace but it would not change how it looks.
• You could wear chains on their own, but you would not wear necklaces that way because they're meant to be worn with something else (clothing).

 11) A chain is a versatile piece of jewelry:

• A necklace can be used almost like a decorative ornament, but only with certain types of clothing.
• Necklaces are primarily ornamental jewelry, but chains can both be worn on their own or attached to another item. 

12) A chain can also serve as a fashion accessory:

• Chain can be either worn as an ornament on clothing or attached to other accessories.
• Chains are commonly used in fashion as accessories and not for decoration, unlike some similar jewelry pieces such as necklaces and earrings.
• People do wear them as jewelry, but chains are primarily worn as accessories. 

13) A necklace can be worn with other pieces of clothing:

• You could wear a necklace with your clothing as a fashion accessory.
• You could also use it to decorate other piece of clothing on its own, but it's not intended to be an ornament on its own.

14) A chain is used for accessories and not for decoration:

• Chains are designed primarily to be attached to other objects; necklaces are decorated with beads and not used for attachment.
• Chains can be used as an accessory to another piece of clothing, but are also small enough to be worn separately.

 15) Chain is not just jewelry, it is also hardware:

• Necklaces and chain are both jewelry made of different materials that could be adornments or accessories.
• A necklace can be worn as an ornament, but a chain will generally only be attached to other objects.
• You can use other types of jewelry in the same way you would use a chain or necklace – being single or part of a set. 

16) A necklace is made of beads:

• Chains do come in bead form, but they are not jewelry and would not fit into this category.
• Necklaces usually come in bead form as well, but chains cannot be classified as such.
• A necklace is defined by the material used to make it, so a chain that is used as jewelry would be considered a "necklace".
• The beads are the only feature of a necklace that could make it a necklace and not a chain.

17) A chain is typically made from a substance other than metal:

• You can use chains made of other materials besides metal.
• You can use chains made of other types of materials, but chains are typically made of metal.
• A material that is used to make a necklace is a type of bead, but not a chain as they would not be able to be used to connect two objects together. 

Conclusion

 There are some differences between a necklace and a chain. A chain is just a metal or other material, while a necklace can be strung onto the fingers and then worn around the neck (exactly how many people do this? So you can easily see all of your jewelry). However, when wearing your jewelry set together, you can use a chain as an accessory if you'd like. You could also use a chain on your wrist or your fingers, depending on where you're going and what you're doing - they're more likely to be worn around the neck.
