Is the Mulberry Chain solid or hollow?

Solid. Every 1.5mm bead is solid 10k gold, and the chain weighs 5.76 grams at 18 inches — about what a solid bead chain this size should weigh. Many bead chains at this size are hollow; those typically weigh around half as much and can dent. Solid beads don't.

What is a ball chain necklace?

A chain made of small gold spheres joined by short bars. It has no front, back or flat side, so it never twists or kinks and falls the same way every time. Jewelers call it a bead chain; most people call it a ball chain. Ours is 1.5mm beads in solid 10k yellow gold.

Can I wear a pendant on the Mulberry Chain?

Yes — it was designed as a pendant chain. The solid construction carries a diamond pendant every day without stretching, and the beads frame a stone of any shape without competing with it. Most pendant bails slide over the 1.5mm beads; a pendant with a hinged or open bail will fit regardless of the clasp.

Why 10k gold instead of 14k?

10k is the hardest-wearing karat we work in. The extra alloy makes it tougher and more scratch-resistant than 14k, which is what you want in a chain that carries a pendant most days. It's solid gold — not plated — and hypoallergenic and nickel-free.

How long is it, and is there an extender?

18 inches (46cm), fixed — there is no extender. On most people an 18-inch chain sits just below the collarbone. It closes with a lobster clasp. Full measurements are in the Details tab.

How should I care for it?

Solid gold doesn't tarnish or discolor, so daily wear is fine. Take it off for sleep and workouts — any fine chain can snag — and wipe it with a soft cloth now and then to bring back the shine.

Mulberry Chain

NEW

$1,098

Solid gold, bead by bead. Strung from 1.5mm spheres of solid 10k yellow gold, the Mulberry Chain falls just below the collarbone with real weight to it — 5.76 grams over 18 inches — and lies the same way every time: no front, no back, nothing to flip over.

We searched high and low for an artisan who could make this exact chain solid, since most at this size are hollow, and hollow beads dent. Made for a diamond pendant of any shape — round to emerald-cut, bezel to halo — it frames the stone without competing with it. A lesser-known style today. A year from now it won’t be. Mark our words.

18 inches, no extender, lobster clasp. Wear it on its own, or hang a diamond on it and let it do the carrying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 10k and 14k gold?

The ratio of pure gold to alloy: 10k is 41.7% gold, 14k is 58.3%. The extra alloy actually makes 10k a bit tougher and more scratch-resistant — that's why we specifically choose it for some minimal styles. Since 10k has a slightly lower pure gold ratio, it's also slightly more affordable, which is why we also select it for heavier-weight pieces like chains. 14k carries more gold content with excellent everyday durability. Side by side, the color difference is nearly impossible to spot — and both are solid gold, through and through.

What is your return policy?

We offer free 14-day returns on all unworn items with original tags attached. Pieces marked Final Sale (look for the red badge on the product page and in your cart) can't be returned or exchanged.

How long does shipping take?

Standard shipping typically takes 3-5 business days. Express shipping is available for 2-3 day delivery.
