About this collection
Gold waist chains, belly chains & body chains
A waist chain is the modern way to redraw a silhouette — a thin line of gold that catches the sun over a bikini, a slip dress, or low-rise jeans. Athenia waist chains are layered, waterproof, and adjustable from the hips to the natural waist.
Layered or single strand
From a single delicate chain to double-layered body chains — every style sits flush on the skin.
Adjustable hip-to-waist fit
Extension chains let the same piece sit low as a belly chain or higher as a waist chain.
Beach-to-evening
Wear over swimwear, layer over linen, or peek above the waistband of jeans for a Y2K-revival look.
Frequently asked
Waist chains — your questions
+What's the difference between a waist chain, belly chain and body chain?
All three describe jewelry worn around the waist. A belly chain sits low on the hips, a waist chain rides higher at the natural waist, and a body chain often combines both with a vertical strand up the torso.
+How do you wear a gold waist chain?
Over a bikini for the beach, under a sheer linen shirt, over a slip dress to redraw the waistline, or layered above low-rise jeans. See our styling guide for five complete looks.
+Are the waist chains adjustable?
Yes. Every Athenia waist chain has an extension chain so it works at the hip and at the natural waist.
+Are they waterproof?
Yes — the non-tarnish gold finish is safe for daily swims in the sea and pool.
