{"product_id":"9ct-red-gold-diamond-cut-anchor-2-20mm-40cm","title":"9ct Red Gold Diamond-Cut Anchor Chain 2.2mm 40cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn anchor chain — also called a marina or mariner link — is built from oval links, each crossed by a bar through its centre, a pattern taken directly from ship's cable. The faces are diamond-cut for brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is 9ct red gold, 2.2 mm across the nominal width and 40 cm long, weighing approximately 4.2 g — solid throughout, not hollow-filled. The centre bar braces each link against deformation, so an anchor chain is noticeably stiffer under load than a plain cable link of the same gauge and holds its line rather than collapsing into a rope.\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 40 cm it sits high, at the base of the throat, just above the collarbone. It is the shortest standard length and works best alone or as the top layer. On a larger neck it fits closely, 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 2.2 mm it has real presence: enough to be worn on its own without looking heavy. It weighs about 4.2 g. The centre bars make it stiffer than a cable chain, so it holds its line instead of bunching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith a pendant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carries heavier pendants, including those with a wide bail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday wear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9ct is the harder alloy and stands up well to daily wear. The copper that gives red gold its colour also makes the alloy hard-wearing.
