The faces are diamond-cut for brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is 9ct yellow gold, 1.54 mm across the nominal width and 45 cm long, weighing approximately 2.7 g. 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 45 cm it sits on the collarbone: the most common length for a pendant and a safe choice for a gift.
