{"product_id":"9ct-yellow-gold-diamond-cut-curb-2-16mm-19cm","title":"9ct Yellow Gold Diamond-Cut Curb Chain Bracelet 2.16mm 19cm","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 yellow gold, 2.16 mm across the nominal width and 19 cm long, weighing approximately 2.6 g — solid throughout, not hollow-filled. 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\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 19 cm it suits a wrist of about 16.5–17.5 cm, with a little room to move. To check, wrap a strip of paper around your wrist just below the wrist bone, measure it, and add 1.5–2.5 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow it looks:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 2.16 mm it is a medium gauge: noticeable on its own and still easy to stack. It weighs about 2.6 g. The links lie flat against the skin, and the diamond-cut faces add brightness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday wear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bracelets take a lot of knocks, and 9ct is the harder alloy, so it is the practical choice for daily wear. It is solid throughout, so a jeweller can repair or resize it. Gold is softer than a steel watch case, so if you wear both on one wrist, expect the bracelet to mark over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/18ct-yellow-gold-diamond-cut-curb-2-16mm-19cm\"\u003e18ct yellow gold\u003c\/a\u003e.
