9ct White Gold Cable Chain 0.9mm 60cm

A 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.

This piece is 9ct white gold, 0.9 mm across the nominal width and 60 cm long, weighing approximately 1.6 g — solid throughout, not hollow-filled, rhodium plated. 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.

Will this suit me?

• Where it sits: At 60 cm it sits mid-chest. It wears over knitwear and outside a collar, and layers cleanly beneath a shorter chain.
• How it looks: 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 1.6 g. Plain, uniform links suit any style and any pendant.
• With a pendant: 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.
• Everyday wear: 9ct is the harder alloy and stands up well to daily wear. The bright white finish is rhodium plating, which wears with daily contact and can be renewed by a jeweller. 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.
• Finding your length: 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. Our sizing guide has more help.
• Other options: Lengths: 40 cm, 45 cm, 50 cm. Metals: 18ct white gold, 18ct yellow gold, 9ct yellow gold. Widths: 1.3 mm, 1.58 mm.

Servicing. Uniform links make this one of the simplest chains to alter or repair.

Weights are supplier figures and are approximate; small variation between individual pieces is normal in chain manufacture.
