Very delicate Silver Curb Chain 0.45mm

Curb links at 0.45mm are about as fine as the construction goes — twisted and flattened in the usual way, but at a scale where the individual links are hard to pick out by eye. The metal is sterling silver 925 with a fine silver plating, which keeps the surface bright and white.

Its appeal is that it almost disappears. Worn alone it registers as a thin bright line at the throat; with a small, light pendant it puts all the focus on the pendant instead. Anything with real weight is too much for it. One length is made, 42cm (17″), which sits at or just above the collarbone.

Italian-made in sterling silver 925. Silver at this gauge tarnishes like any other, and a gentle pass with a silver cloth is enough — skip the scrubbing, since links this fine can distort. Hang it up rather than coiling it, so it does not knot. Insured Express Post carries it anywhere in Australia.
