Sliding Bead Silver Chain, Gold Plated

Beads run loose along this chain rather than sitting fixed, so the spacing rearranges itself through the day and no two wearings look quite the same. Chain and beads alike are sterling silver 925 with 18ct gold plating.

One length is made, 46cm, which falls just below the collarbone — low enough to show in an open neckline, high enough to stay clear of a lapel. Movement is the whole appeal here, so it does its best work as the only piece on the neck, though the bead detail still reads if a longer chain hangs below it.

Italian-made, with 18ct gold plating laid over a solid sterling silver 925 body. The plating sits on the surface, which is why chlorine, salt water and perfume shorten its life; a dry cloth after wear does more good than any cleaner. Australia-wide delivery is by insured Express Post.
