The faces are then diamond-cut — machine-faceted back to a bright mirror surface — which is what gives the chain its flash along the length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is 18ct yellow gold, 3.48 mm across the nominal width and 50 cm long, weighing approximately 22.34 g — solid throughout, not hollow-filled. Because the links interlock face to face rather than edge to edge, a curb chain feels denser and more solid in the hand than an open-link chain of the same nominal width, and it lies flat against the skin.\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 50 cm it sits just below the collarbone and clears a crew neckline, giving a pendant room to hang free of fabric.
