This shimmering rope chain necklace is very sturdy, yet lightweight and comfortable to wear. It measures approximately 1.6mm thick, and is made in Italy with the finest standards of craftsmanship, in 18K yellow gold flashed over solid .925 genuine sterling silver. The high quality chain has a diamond-cut finish that shimmers and sparkles in the light. Each chain is stamped 925 and ITALY for authenticity, and is secured with a heavy duty lobster claw clasp, which is more durable than the standard spring ring clasp used in other chains. Our prices are the lowest you will find anywhere because our chains come direct from the Italian manufacturer! Available in a wide variety of sizes from 16" - 30". Select your desired length from the drop down list. Please consult the size chart photo for an approximate idea of how each chain size will fit. The lengths are only approximate, as every individual will have different results based on your actual body measurements. Please note that 14" and 16" lengths are very short, and are not suitable for most adults. For the average adult, we recommend at least 18” or longer.
