That gives you not a line but an \u003cstrong\u003eunbroken field of sparkle\u003c\/strong\u003e, with stones catching the light at different heights.

On steel you do not get that density, which is why virtually every serious iced out piece is built on a copper base. Copper is also denser than hollow steel, which gives the chain the solid weight you miss on cheaper pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFive Layers of PVD Over the Copper Base\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver colour is applied with PVD, physical vapour deposition: the material is bonded at molecular level inside a vacuum chamber rather than laid on galvanically, at Carpe Ice in five layers. That makes the finish \u003cstrong\u003enoticeably harder and more scratch-resistant than an ordinary coating\u003c\/strong\u003e. On a cool silver tone that counts double, because any worn spot would otherwise show as a warmer undertone. The alloy underneath is nickel-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Honeycomb Design Close Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hexagonal cells create depth that a flat setting does not have: the stones do not all sit at the same height, so a different part lights up with every movement. At 7mm that is broad enough to read as a statement, but narrow enough to disappear under a collar if you want to wear it more quietly. The geometric pattern also gives the chain a more modern character than the classic continuous row of a tennis chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e45, 50 or 55 cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a set chain the length decides how much of the field stays visible. \u003cstrong\u003eAt 45 cm it sits high and part of it disappears behind a collar\u003c\/strong\u003e, which works if you want it under smart clothing. At 50 cm it falls around the collarbone and that is the most chosen length. At 55 cm it hangs free on the chest, where the honeycomb catches light along its full length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping It Sparkling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA copper alloy is more sensitive to moisture than steel, so this is a piece for going out rather than for the gym. \u003cstrong\u003eTake the chain off before showering, swimming and training\u003c\/strong\u003e, apply fragrance and deodorant before you put it on, and store it dry in the box it came in. On a honeycomb structure dust gathers between the cells faster than on a flat setting; lift it out with a dry, soft toothbrush. That is what dulls the sparkle first, not the stones themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStyling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn its own the honeycomb chain is emphatic enough to be the only piece you wear. If you want a set, the honeycomb bracelet in the same width and finish is the obvious addition. If you combine it with a link chain, choose a clearly different length so the iced out field does not compete with the link.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carpe Ice","offers":[{"title":"45 cm","offer_id":54485513077080,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 CM","offer_id":54485513109848,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"55 CM","offer_id":54485513142616,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/3904\/3160\/files\/Honeycomb-Ketting-Iced-Out-7MM-Carpe-Ice.jpg?v=1785765089","url":"https:\/\/carpeice.com\/en\/products\/honeycomb-necklace-iced-out-silver-tone-7mm","provider":"Carpeice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
