Ankerkette - Eine Ankerkette ist eine Schmuckkette, die der Kette zur Einholung eines Ankers auf einem Schiff nachempfunden ist. Solche Ketten bestehen aus einzelnen Gliedern, die durch charakteristische Rundform miteinander verbunden sind. Die Ankerkette gehört zu den klassischsten Kettenformen und erfreut sich in den unterschiedlichsten Materialien großer Beliebtheit. http://www.thejewellershop.com/Lexikon/Ankerkette-p1-4-60.ht...


ANCHOR CHAIN
Is one of the classic jewellery chain forms and the link chain most people would describe with ease if asked. It is characterised by uniformly sized repeating oval links which are arranged alternatively in a horizontal and then vertical orientation with a vertical bar in the middle of each link. Because of the simplicity of its links it is one of the strongest types of jewellery chain and it is therefore no surprise that it has the same traditional design as used to anchor large ships in port. This chain is also known as Marine Chain. Variations of this chain design include Flat Anchor Chain where the outer surfaces of the individual links are flattened off by Diamond Cutting, Round Anchor Chain where the outer surfaces are slightly rounded and Maritime Chain where only every other link is an anchor link.

flat mariner link chain/flat mariner chain


Explanation:
If an anchor chain has a bar at the middle of each individual link,
it is described as a mariner or mariner link chain

"Mariner chains are one of the more popular gold chain styles featuring circular links with a bar through the centre, sometimes alternating with plain links."
