The Amora Bead Chain

A continuous line of small oval beads, each one linked to the next so the whole chain flexes and catches light in dozens of points rather than one flat run. It's the difference between a chain you notice and a chain that just holds a pendant.

At 4mm the beads are substantial enough to be the only thing you're wearing, and at 11.3g there's real weight to it — it sits properly against the collarbone instead of riding up. It adjusts from 41cm to 46cm on a lobster clasp with a 5cm extender.

Stainless steel with a vacuum-bonded gold finish — not electroplated, which is why it holds its colour far better than most gold-tone jewellery at this price. Tarnish-resistant, and it won't turn your skin green. Take it off before swimming or bathing, keep it away from perfume and hand cream, and it'll stay looking the way it arrived. It comes in a premium Amora gift box with free UK delivery and 30 days to change your mind.

ADJUSTABLE 41-46cm.

41cm at the shortest — sits at the base of the neck, just above the
collarbone.

46cm fully extended — falls at the collarbone, the classic length.

The 5cm extender means you set it where you want it on the day.

THE CHAIN
4mm oval beads, 11.3g. Substantial enough to wear on its own — this is
a necklace rather than a chain for hanging something from.

LAYERING
It sits high at 41cm, so it works as the top layer. Add anything 55cm
or longer beneath it and the two won't compete.

LOOKING AFTER IT
Take it off before swimming, bathing or the gym. Put it on after perfume
and hand cream. A wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing keeps the
finish bright.
