Diamond-Cut Round Spiga Chain in Sterling Silver, 1.7mm

A 1.7mm round spiga chain in solid sterling silver, made in Italy with a diamond-cut, polished finish that reflects light along its length.

The spiga, named for the Italian word for wheat, is a centuries-old chain weave in which four strands twist together into a tight, rope-like braid. Italy has been the global center for fine chain manufacturing since the Renaissance, and the spiga remains one of the most recognized weaves in that tradition — prized for its density, drape, and resistance to kinking. The diamond-cut finish adds machined facets along the surface for additional brilliance over a smooth-polished braid.

At 1.7mm, the chain reads as delicate and unisex — slim enough to layer with finer chains, substantial enough to wear solo or to anchor a pendant. It moves fluidly against the skin and pairs cleanly with both warm and cool-toned pieces. It suits a buyer building a layered neckline or seeking a versatile everyday chain in sterling.
