Both substantial enough to wear on it's own and durable enough to add charms. The bracelet measures 7.5 inches long; the clasp style allows you to customize the circumference, depending on how snug or loose you like to wear your bracelets. The 16-gauge, solid gold links have a good heft to them, making it a great choice for daily wear; total weight is 11 grams. This is a timeless chain style that will remain relevant for future generations. Currently made to order, please allow two weeks to ship.
