Gold-Tone Box Chain

Gold-tone box chain pendants by size and weight

When a pendant comes already on its box chain, two numbers tell you how it will feel: the size of the pendant and its weight. A 10 g cross is forgotten after an hour; a 28 g one is felt every time you move. This page sorts the gold-tone pendant necklaces in this collection by those two numbers, using the measurements listed on each product. Every piece is stainless steel or titanium steel; the gold color is a gold-tone plating, and most pieces also exist in silver-tone steel. For an overview of every gold-tone box chain, plain or with a pendant, see gold box chain necklaces.

Size and weight, piece by piece

The Square Pendant Box Chain Necklace, an octagonal frame with a black inlay on a 60 cm chain, completes the collection. The Nail Cross comes in gold-tone or black; the others come in gold-tone and silver-tone, and several also in black.

What the numbers mean when you wear it

• Around 10 g: light enough to forget. Good for a first pendant.
• 16 to 19 g: you know it is there, without noticing it all day. The everyday range.
• 24 g and up: a pendant you feel when you move. It hangs straight and stays in place over a t-shirt.

Size changes how far it reads. Under 3 cm, a pendant is a detail seen up close. Around 5 cm, it is seen across a room. The Lion Head Medallion, at 40 x 55 mm with a cubic zirconia halo, and the Nail Cross, at 56 x 35 mm, are the most visible pieces here.

Your own pendant on a gold-tone box chain

For a pendant you already own, our 1.5 mm gold-tone box chain takes a small, light pendant, in 18" or 20". See the fine gold-tone box chain. For a heavier pendant, choose a wider chain.
