{"product_id":"9ct-white-gold-diamond-cut-curb-2-8mm-45cm","title":"9ct White Gold Diamond-Cut Curb Chain 2.8mm 45cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA curb chain is made by twisting each link ninety degrees and compressing it so that it lies flush against its neighbour. 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 9ct white gold, 2.8 mm across the nominal width and 45 cm long, weighing approximately 10.96 g — solid throughout, not hollow-filled, rhodium plated. 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 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 2.8 mm this is a statement gauge. It reads clearly as a chain in its own right. It weighs about 11 g.

The bright white finish is rhodium plating, which wears with daily contact and can be renewed by a jeweller.
