9ct Yellow Gold Diamond-Cut Long Flat Curb Chain 3.56mm 50cm

This is a flat curb chain drawn to a longer link pitch: the same flattened, diamond-cut links, but each one elongated so the pattern opens out. Fewer links cover the same distance, which is what keeps the chain light for its visual width.

Will this suit me?

• Where it sits: At 50 cm it sits just below the collarbone and clears a crew neckline, giving a pendant room to hang free of fabric. It is also the usual starting length for men.
• How it looks: At 3.56 mm this is a statement gauge. It reads clearly as a chain in its own right. It weighs about 9.4 g. Longer links give a more open, modern look than a standard curb.
• With a pendant: Usually worn on its own. It will carry a large pendant, provided the bail is wide enough to pass over the chain's end ring.
• Everyday wear: 9ct is the harder alloy and stands up well to daily wear. It is solid throughout, so a jeweller can repair or shorten it.
• 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: Length: 45 cm. Metal: 18ct yellow gold. Width: 2.8 mm. Matching bracelet: 19 cm.

This piece is 9ct yellow gold, 3.56 mm across the nominal width and 50 cm long, weighing approximately 9.4 g — solid throughout, not hollow-filled. The longer pitch gives a more open, linear look and a fluid drape, closer to a flat chain than to a dense curb.

9ct yellow gold is 375 parts per thousand fine gold. The higher alloy content makes it hard and more scratch-resistant than 18ct, which is why it's always been the popular choice for everyday wear.

Servicing. The elongated links are easy to open and close cleanly, which makes length adjustment straightforward.

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