Figaro Chain Necklace in 14K Yellow Gold | 6.60mm

Width decides how far away a chain still reads. At 6.60mm the alternating link pattern is legible across a room, where the same pattern in a narrow chain collapses into plain texture at arm's length and the Figaro's whole reason for existing goes with it.

It stays wearable because it is built light rather than solid through. Twenty inches comes to 9.9 grams and twenty-four inches to 12.1 grams, so the four extra inches cost just over two grams. Those numbers tell you how much of this chain is presence and how much is bullion.

The alternation earns its keep at this scale. A uniform chain at 6.60mm reads as a slab of gold, while the Figaro breaks the same mass into a repeating long-short rhythm, so it looks like less metal than it is and stays a chain instead of becoming a bar. At an open collar it does a pendant's job by itself.

Solid 14K yellow gold, and the lifetime warranty DEEVE puts on everything it makes.
