Mariner Chain, 10K Yellow Gold

This mariner chain is made in 10K yellow gold. Mariner links are ovals with a bar across the centre, a pattern taken from anchor chain. At 3.2 mm it has presence on its own and does not need a pendant. Its listed weight is 4.8 g; weight varies with the length or size you choose. Available in 16″, 18″, 20″, 22″, 24″. As a guide, at 16″ it sits at the base of the neck; at 18″ it falls just below the collarbone; at 20″ it lands on the upper chest.

At 10K the metal is 41.7% gold; the higher share of alloy makes it harder and more scratch-resistant than 14K. Wear it alone, or layer it with a finer chain at a shorter length.
