14K Gold Cable Chain Necklace 18 inch

A chain is the one piece of jewellery people never take off, and the 14K Gold Cable Chain Necklace 18 inch is built for exactly that. The 14K Gold Cable Chain Necklace 18 inch is a solid gold cable chain, worked in gold rather than plated or gold-filled metal, so what sits against your skin is real gold the whole way through and stays that colour for as long as you own it.

Here are the numbers that matter. It is crafted in and carries of gold. The links measure across, fine enough to read as delicate on the neck but substantial enough to repair and to carry a pendant, and the chain is made at . Each oval link is soldered closed and finished so that no join shows or catches the skin, which is the part of chain making that separates a piece lasting a lifetime from one that fails in a year.

It fastens with an obster clasp, chosen because a chain is opened and closed every single day, and the clasp is where almost every chain eventually gives out. It is spring-loaded and shuts under tension, so it will not work itself open the way a spring ring does once its spring softens, and the gate opens wide enough to manage one hand while you fasten it behind your neck.

You can order it in . A cable chain is the standard pendant chain for a reason. The links are uniform and rounded, so a bail slides freely along them, and the pendant settles at the centre of the neck instead of dragging off to one side. A figured or patterned chain competes with a pendant for attention, while this one simply holds it. Because our diamond pendants are sold without a chain, this is what most customers pair them with.

Length is the one thing worth getting right, and it is the detail most often got wrong when buying online. Sixteen inches sits at the base of the neck for a high collar, eighteen rests on the collarbone and suits almost every neckline, twenty falls at the top of the chest and clears a crew neck, and twenty-two sits on the chest, which is the usual choice for men and for a pendant with real size to it. At this one falls where that guide places it, and if you are buying a gift and cannot ask, eighteen inches is the length least likely to be wrong.

Because each chain is made to order, the length, the width and the gold colour are yours to set rather than picked from stock. Every chain is made by a family workshop four generations deep, working solid gold since the 1970s, and on a chain that craft shows in the joins, which flex every time you put it on and must never give. If you want a length or a width that is not listed here, ask on our customised page and we will build it to your measurement.

Delivery is fully insured and tracked to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia, with returns accepted on ready-to-ship pieces within the stated window. For a chain you will wear rather than store, the 14K Gold Cable Chain Necklace 18 inch earns its place.
