{"product_id":"18ct-yellow-gold-paper-clip-5-40mm-45cm","title":"18ct Yellow Gold Paperclip Chain 5.4mm 45cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA paperclip chain is made from elongated rectangular links with rounded ends, set in a single plane. The link pitch is long and the pattern deliberately open, which is what keeps the chain light relative to the width it occupies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is 18ct yellow gold, 5.4 mm across the nominal width and 45 cm long, weighing approximately 35.5 g — solid throughout, not hollow-filled. The open links take a charm or pendant directly onto the chain without a bail, and the flat plane means it lies still rather than rolling.\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 5.4 mm this is a heavy, bold gauge, unisex in character and made to be worn alone. It weighs about 35.5 g. The long, open links look bold for their weight: a modern, graphic style.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith a pendant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to be worn without a pendant; most bails will not pass over a chain this size. The long open links will also take a charm with its own clasp, directly on any link.\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.\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.
