King's Chain 18K Gold Plated over 925 Sterling Silver (2.5MM)
This is the gold plated king's chain, built on a solid 925 sterling silver base with an 18K gold finish over it. The tightly interlocked, symmetrical link is the same one we use across our king's chain range, and the metal underneath is what sets this apart from an ordinary gold-tone chain. At 2.5MM it stays refined and versatile, in 50, 55 and 60 cm.

Why the metal underneath is worth paying for
Gold plating is a surface on any piece that carries it, so the real question is what sits beneath it. Here the answer is solid sterling silver, a precious metal in its own right, and that changes how the chain ages.
Plated over sterling silver, so the piece keeps its value and a jeweler can refresh the plating whenever you like
Should the finish ever soften at a high-contact point, a warm silver tone appears and it simply reads as two-tone
No brass or copper anywhere, so it stays kind to your skin
The same king's link as our sterling and stainless steel versions
Gold at the neck for a fraction of the price of solid gold
You are buying a silver chain with gold on top, which is a genuinely different product from a costume chain with gold on top.
King's chain or byzantine chain?
These are two different patterns, not two names for one. The king's chain here has a tighter, more uniform link with clean lines, easy to wear under a collar every day. The byzantine chain has a fuller, more three dimensional weave with real depth, which we make in 6MM stainless steel for anyone who wants the chain to be the talking point.
Choose your length: 50, 55 or 60 cm
50cm: high on the neck, neatly hidden under a collar.
55cm: on the collarbones, the most chosen length here.
60cm: on the chest and visible over a t-shirt.
At 2.5MM this chain is fine enough to carry a pendant, and light enough to layer with a second chain at a different length.
How to keep the finish looking new
Treat the gold as a surface and it will look exactly as it does today for years to come.
Slip it off for showering, swimming, sport and sleeping
Put it on last, once aftershave, deodorant and sunscreen have dried
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth, which is all a plated finish ever needs
Store it flat in its box so the links keep their line
Want gold you never have to think about at all? Gold-tone stainless steel is the easy-going alternative. This chain sits happily between the two: precious metal underneath, real gold on the surface.
What to wear it with
The matching 2.5MM gold plated bracelet uses the same link and the same construction, so the two look made for each other. Keep the rest of your pieces gold-toned for the most polished result. See the full king's chain and byzantine collection or the rest of the 18K gold plated jewelry.
