Sterling Silver Squared Wheat Chain

Modern silver chain. Marked 925 Italy.

£90
Hard Gold PlatingOptional upgrade · a rich, durable gold finish

Description

Sterling silver squared wheat chain, sometimes called spiga after the Italian word for an ear of wheat. The links are woven together into a tight braided rope that looks like plaited wheat up close, with a four sided profile that feels smooth and solid in the hand and doesn't kink like finer chains can. It finishes with a lobster clasp. Great for layering or for carrying a pendant, and a really reliable everyday chain with plenty of texture.
