{"product_id":"18ct-red-gold-cable-chain-0-90mm-45cm","title":"18ct Red Gold Cable Chain 0.90mm 45cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA cable chain is built from identical links, each set at ninety degrees to the one before it. It is the most structurally predictable chain there is: every link is the same closed ring, so a jeweller can shorten it, lengthen it or replace a damaged link anywhere along its run without interrupting the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is 18ct red gold, 0.9 mm across the nominal width and 45 cm long, weighing approximately 1.5 g — solid throughout, not hollow-filled. Because the links alternate in plane, a cable chain lies flat, resists kinking and carries a pendant bail squarely rather than letting it roll to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this suit me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it sits:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 45 cm it sits on the collarbone: the most common length for a pendant and a safe choice for a gift. On a larger neck it sits closer to the throat, so if it's for a man, 50 cm is the usual starting point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow it looks:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 0.9 mm this is a fine chain: a thin, bright line that reads as delicate on its own and lets a small pendant take the attention. It weighs about 1.5 g. Plain, uniform links suit any style and any pendant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith a pendant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suits a light pendant or charm, such as a small solitaire. For anything heavier, a chain of 1.3 mm or more is the safer match.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday wear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18ct is softer than 9ct and richer in colour; it wears well day to day with a little care. It is solid throughout, so a jeweller can repair or shorten it. Fine chains are the most delicate kind: take it off to sleep, swim and train, and store it hanging or laid flat to avoid knots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinding your length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure a chain you already own from end to end, clasp included, or run a piece of string around your neck to where you'd like it to sit.
