Product Insights
This minimalist curb-link chain, exclusive to the Simons X Midi34 collaboration, is a handmade 316L steel piece that resists scratching and tarnish while being hypoallergenic and safe for mild nickel allergies. Its 18-inch collarbone length provides a versatile fit for layering or anchoring minimalist outfits, and the grey natural finish produces a subtle shimmer. However, its fixed length may not suit all necklines, and it is designed only for lightweight pendants up to 5 grams, with matching pendants sold separately.

Deep Research
How a 2mm curb chain fits into a minimalist wardrobe
- The curb chain's alternating high and low facets, even at just 2mm, scatter light in a way a plain cable chain cannot, giving the necklace a low-key shimmer that rewards close inspection without broadcasting from across the room.
- At 18 inches (46 cm), the chain rests precisely at the collarbone line, making it visible above crew-neck t-shirts and henleys while disappearing under a buttoned shirt collar — a dual-purpose length that works for both overt and understated styling within the same day.
- The natural grey of 316L stainless steel reads as a cooler, more industrial metallic than sterling silver or gold — it anchors a monochromatic outfit, coordinates effortlessly with watches and rings in similar finishes, and stays visually quiet against bare skin.
The story behind the Simons X Midi34 collection
- Midi34 has long defined itself as a 'boutique of handmade minimalist jewelry that is inspired by simplicity,' and this unembellished curb chain is a direct expression of that aesthetic — meaning the collaboration is delivering the brand's authentic design DNA rather than a diluted mass‑market design.
- Midi34 was founded in 2017 and has been designing and assembling minimalist jewelry in Quebec City ever since, so this chain comes from an independent Canadian workshop rather than being imported — a point reinforced by the product's 'designed and assembled in Canada' label.
- The exclusive collaboration between Midi34 and La Maison Simons launched in 2019 and pieces are sold only through Simons — not via Midi34's own channels — making this chain part of a sustained institutional relationship rather than a one‑off capsule.
- The brand's expertise explicitly spans 14‑karat gold‑plated sterling silver and stainless steel, so this chain is produced in a material that Midi34 works with regularly at the core of its line — not a one‑off or secondary choice.
How 316L stainless steel wears over time
- Molybdenum forms a protective film that resists chloride attack from sweat, salt water, and pool chemicals, so the 2mm chain won't develop tiny corrosion pits that snag fabric or feel rough on the skin.
- The 'L' in 316L keeps carbon at a maximum of 0.03%, which prevents the clasp's hinge area from becoming brittle over time — so repeated daily opening won't crack or fail the snap hook.
- Ranking 5.5–6.3 on the Mohs scale — roughly twice as hard as silver or gold (2.5–3) — the chain's crisp curb-link edges resist rounding off even when worn under a buttoned shirt collar all day.
- Unlike sterling silver, which develops black tarnish and needs polishing, the 316L alloy's inherent grey surface never oxidizes — skin oils and humidity won't alter its color, so the chain looks the same months later with zero maintenance.
- Although 316L contains 10–14% nickel, its dense microstructure binds the nickel so tightly that the release rate is negligible, keeping it safe for all-day skin contact even for wearers who react to standard fashion jewelry made from 304 steel or brass.

Documents & Data
Q&A
4 answered- Is the grey color achieved through a coating or is it the natural stainless steel finish? If coated, is it scratch-resistant and does it fade over time?
- The grey color is the natural finish of the 316L stainless steel, not a coating. Stainless steel is naturally scratch-resistant, but like any metal, it can show wear over time with heavy use.
- Can this 2mm chain support a pendant or charm? What is the recommended maximum weight for safe wear?
- With a 2mm width, this chain is best suited for lightweight pendants or charms. We recommend keeping the pendant weight under 5 grams to avoid stressing the links or clasp.
- How secure is the snap hook closure? Is it easy to open and close one-handed compared to a lobster clasp?
- The snap hook closure is secure and includes a signature plate for added detail. It is generally easier to open and close one-handed compared to a lobster clasp, though some may find it slightly less intuitive at first.
- Does the chain come in other lengths or include an extender link? Is the 18-inch length adjustable in any way?
- This 18-inch chain does not include an extender link and is not adjustable. It comes in one fixed length. For other length options, you may want to explore the full Midi34 collection.
