If you're buying a chain for someone else, here's everything you need to know about this one. This chunky cable chain is 10mm wide. Cable is the simplest chain there is: matching oval links, each turned to sit at a right angle to the next. It's made from 18k gold plated 316L stainless steel. We cut it to the length you order in our UK workshop and finish it by hand.

It's non tarnish and water resistant, so you can wear it every day, in the shower and at the gym. 316L stainless steel is hypoallergenic for most users. It fastens with a lobster clasp, which we fit ourselves.

It comes in lengths from 16" (41cm) to 26" (66cm) in 2" steps, with an optional 4" (10cm) extender chain. Hold a tape measure round your neck where you'd like it to sit, and read off the length before you choose. Once it's on, the only reason to take it off is because you want to.
