Rope Chain, 10K Yellow Gold

This rope chain is made in 10K yellow gold. A rope chain twists small links into a spiral, so it catches light along its whole length. At 2.75 mm it has presence on its own and does not need a pendant. Its listed weight is 11.2 g; weight varies with the length or size you choose. Its construction is solid, meaning gold all the way through each link rather than a hollow tube, so it keeps its shape and can be repaired. Available in 18″, 20″, 22″, 24″. As a guide, at 18″ it falls just below the collarbone; at 20″ it lands on the upper chest; at 22″ it rests mid-chest.

10K gold is 41.7% pure gold, alloyed with stronger metals, which makes it harder-wearing and more resistant to scratches than higher karats. Wear it alone, or layer it with a finer chain at a shorter length.
