A 9ct gold Ellipse Chain, handmade in England with a considered balance of strength, detail and everyday wearability. Each oval link is shaped from round wire, giving the chain a soft, rounded profile and a gently articulated movement.

More substantial than our finer chain styles, this heavier link has a confident presence while remaining comfortable and versatile. The rhythm of the oval links carries a quiet reference to maritime chains, bringing a sense of continuity, connection and strength to the design.

Available in 16, 18 and 20 inch lengths, the chain can be chosen to sit close to the neckline or slightly lower for a more relaxed proportion.

Made in your choice of 9ct yellow gold or 9ct white gold, this chain is a timeless piece for wearing on its own, layering with other chains, or pairing with a pendant.
