{"product_id":"9ct-yellow-gold-hollow-diamond-cut-rope-2-18mm-50cm","title":"9ct Yellow Gold Hollow Diamond-Cut Rope Chain 2.18mm 50cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rope chain is built from links set in a continuous spiral, two strands winding around each other in the manner of laid rope. This one is hollow: the strands are formed from tube rather than solid wire, so the chain achieves a wide, substantial look at a fraction of the metal weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is 9ct yellow gold, 2.18 mm across the nominal width and 50 cm long, weighing approximately 2.3 g — hollow-formed to keep the weight down. The spiral construction throws light from every angle as it moves, which is why rope reads brighter than a flat chain of comparable width.\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 50 cm it sits just below the collarbone and clears a crew neckline, giving a pendant room to hang free of fabric.

Hollow construction keeps it light for its size, but the thin walls dent if crushed, and a dented link usually can't be restored.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServicing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hollow construction is the trade-off. The tube walls are thin, so a hollow rope chain cannot usually be resized or soldered without the section collapsing, and a crushed link generally cannot be brought back.
