01Medium azuki chain in sterling silver, 50cm

Medium Chain

£220.00 One only

Length

Dispatched within two working days, tracked and signed.

The middle gauge, finished with a hand-stamped eagle head hook.

Heavy enough to carry a large feather or a medicine wheel, light enough to wear with one small pendant. If you are buying one chain, this is the one I would choose.

Pendants and charms thread on from the hook end, so nothing has to come apart to change a set.

50cm is the standard length for most men. 60cm sits lower on the chest and suits a heavier pendant.

These items are crafted in Tokyo, Japan and are therefore not hallmarked. The purity of the silver is personally guaranteed by this store's owner and Katou Shun.

Care

Made to age

The silver darkens as you wear it. That is the point, not a fault to fix.

It goes fastest in the stamped lines, which is where most of the detail sits, so the pattern reads more clearly the longer you own it.

If you would rather have it bright, a polishing cloth brings the shine back. Silver dips and chemical cleaners are faster, but they lift the dark out of those lines as well and take the detail with it.

In Japan an almost black patina is read as a sign of long use. This work is made to age.

The chains fasten with a hook rather than a lobster clasp, so take yours off before swimming or bathing.
