Box Chains

A box chain is made from square links that sit flush against one another, forming a smooth, angular column rather than a rounded rope. The shape gives it a clean, geometric look and makes it strong for its weight, so it holds a pendant well without looking bulky.

See how it compares to other styles in our guide to chain types.

Most of our 9ct gold chains are available in a choice of lengths, typically ranging from 16 to 22 inches. A 16-inch chain sits close to the neck like a choker, 18 inches falls just below the collarbone and is the most popular length for women, while 20–22 inches gives a longer drop that works well for layering or for men. You can select your preferred length on each product page, and there's a size guide there too if you're not sure which length is right for you.

Yes — our 9ct gold chains are designed to be worn on their own or paired with a pendant. Finer styles like box and trace chains are ideal for lightweight pendants and lockets, while curb and rope chains suit heavier pieces. Just make sure the pendant bail fits through the chain link — if you're unsure, the chain width is listed on each product page.

Yes — 9ct gold is solid, real gold. It's made up of 37.5% pure gold alloyed with other metals for strength and durability, which is why you'll see the 375 stamp on some of our pieces. It's the most popular gold purity in the UK because it strikes the perfect balance between a beautiful gold colour and everyday wearability. All our gold that is over the required weight is hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office.

9ct gold is solid gold all the way through — the colour won't wear off or fade because the gold is part of the metal itself. Gold-plated jewellery has a thin layer of gold over a base metal, which can wear away over time with regular use. Every pair of studs in this collection is solid 9ct gold, so they'll keep their colour and quality for years to come.

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver - it is arguably the best composition of silver for jewellery making because it is a lot more durable and harder than pure silver, which is a very soft metal.

You may see .925 mentioned or stamped on some pieces, this refers to the 92.5% silver in the item.

The remaining 7.5% is usually made up of copper, zinc and other metals.
