Since the chain segments are both flat and thin, pulling the necklace a bit harder can bend it. And depending on what clothing you wear, the segments may also get caught in it and twist, and as a result, the chain can easily be ruined.
Subsequently, one may also ask, are herringbone chains durable?
Herringbone chains are a great choice if you like a solid-looking necklace with or without a pendant. Unfortunately, it's one of the least durable gold chain styles and most notorious for kinking. When damaged significantly, they are challenging to fix.
Similarly, how do you fix a twisted herringbone chain? I usually recommend 3 things to customers who have kinked herringbone chains:
- Twist it carefully to work the kink out and just keep wearing it until it gets worse.
- Cut the chain up into a couple of bracelets from the good portions left.
- Scrap it and buy a rope chain or link chain that won't kink.

Care for Herringbone
Do not wear your chain to sleep, shower or exercise. This chain can easily kink, and these types of activities will add undue stress to the chain which can lead to bent links. Do not hang additional charms or pendants from the chain.
Do rope chains break easily?
Rope chains are not only one of the most popular types of chains, but they are also one of the most durable, heavy, and textural types of chains as well. This means they are quite strong, even for the thinner rope chains, and they won't come apart easily. A rope chain is said to last more than a lifetime.
