Finished in 18k gold-plated 316L stainless steel — a warm-toned chain built for daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy serpentine sits differently\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA serpentine link is flat and closely articulated, so the chain behaves more like a ribbon than a series of links. It lies completely flush against the skin rather than rolling, which is what makes it the most comfortable style to wear under a shirt and the least likely to snag on a collar. The flat face also means it reflects as one continuous surface, giving a cleaner, more liquid look than a textured rope or Figaro.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40 cm plus a 5 cm extension this sits high on the neck — close to a choker length on most men — which suits open collars and layering under a longer chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Material: 18k Gold-Plated 316L Stainless Steel (Water-Resistant, Non-Tarnish)\u003cbr\u003e• Chain Length: 40cm + 5cm extension\u003cbr\u003e• Chain Thickness: 5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold plating wears through abrasion, not age. Put the chain on after fragrance and sunscreen rather than before, and avoid pulling it across rough surfaces. Wipe with a soft dry cloth only — never use metal polish on plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a flat serpentine chain fragile?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flat construction is more prone to creasing than a rope link if it is bent sharply, so store it flat or hanging rather than balled up in a pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the gold solid?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — it is 18k gold plating over 316L stainless steel.
