14K Gold Sixes Link Chain in Sterling Silver | Collector Works

This one-of-a-kind chain pairs oxidized sterling silver links with a sequence of 14K gold “sixes” links across the front, creating a defined mixed-metal composition with strong visual rhythm. The contrast between darkened silver and warm gold establishes depth and clarity along the neckline. Built and assembled in our Adirondack artisan jewelry studio, this collector chain is structured, balanced, and singular.

Architectural Form & Scale

The chain is constructed from solid sterling silver links, forming a continuous structure that carries consistent weight and presence. Across the front, a series of 14K gold “sixes” links are integrated into the design, creating a focal section that draws the eye forward.

The spacing and placement of the gold links establish a measured cadence within the chain, allowing the composition to feel intentional and grounded. At 21.5 inches, the length provides a strong drape while maintaining versatility.

A handmade clasp completes the structure, designed for both security and continuity within the overall form.

Metal Composition & Visual Impact

The oxidized sterling silver foundation provides a deep tonal base, allowing the gold elements to stand in sharp contrast. The 14K gold “sixes” links introduce warmth and dimension, creating a layered metal composition that reads clearly from a distance and reveals detail up close.

The interplay between silver and gold gives the chain flexibility in styling, making it a strong anchor piece for collectors who work across mixed metals.

Forging Discipline

Each link in the chain was formed and assembled at the bench using traditional silversmithing tools. The sterling silver links were shaped and connected to establish the full length and structure of the chain.

The gold “sixes” links were individually integrated into the front section to maintain balance and visual continuity. The handmade clasp features 14K gold detailing, completing the piece with a refined transition between materials.

Every element was built with attention to proportion, alignment, and long-term durability.
