Length

A fine spiga-weave chain in solid 9ct yellow gold with an extender link, allowing the length to be adjusted without removing the necklace. Densely woven and smooth to the touch — this is a chain with genuine texture that reads differently to a standard link construction.

  • Spiga (wheat) weave — interlocking angled links that create a continuous, rope-like surface
  • Solid 9ct yellow gold throughout — not hollow, not plated
  • Pull-through gold ball adjuster — slide to any length between minimum and maximum with no tools
  • Available in two sizes: 47cm and 58cm
  • High-polish finish; the woven surface catches light from multiple angles simultaneously
  • Substantial feel in hand relative to its fine visual profile
  • Wears flat and close to the skin; doesn't twist or pool

The spiga — also called a wheat chain — is built from four strands of oval links, twisted and angled so each link locks over the next. The result is a surface that appears woven, with a subtle herringbone-like shimmer that shifts as the chain moves. It's a more complex construction than a belcher or cable chain, and that complexity is visible: the spiga has a presence on the neck that a plain link chain of the same width simply doesn't.

Two hardware details work in tandem here. The lobster clasp fastens the chain securely at the back — the same reliable closure used across the range. The pull-through gold ball operates independently, threading along the chain so you can draw it toward the front to shorten the drop, or ease it back to let the chain fall longer. The adjustment holds without slipping and takes seconds to change. It's a practical detail that makes one chain genuinely useful across different necklines and outfits.

Solid construction throughout means the chain carries real weight for its width — noticeably denser than hollow alternatives — and holds its woven structure over years of wear rather than compressing or flattening with use.

Pull-through ball adjuster
Slide the solid gold ball along the chain to set your preferred length — anywhere between the minimum and maximum for your chosen size. No clasp, no fixed points, no tools required. The 47cm suits collarbone to mid-chest wear; the 58cm gives a longer drop suited to layering or lower necklines.

How the spiga differs from other chains in the range
Spiga (this chain)
Woven surface · textured shimmer · adjustable · wears as a statement alone
Petite Belcher
Open round links · minimal · ideal pendant chain · 40/45/50cm
Bold Belcher
Large open links · confident alone · suits heavier pendants · 45/50cm

The spiga's woven surface gives it enough visual interest to wear without a pendant — at a fine width, it does so without reading as heavy or overtly statement. The pull-through ball adjuster means you can shorten it for a crew neck in the morning and let it drop for an open neckline in the evening in seconds. For layering, pair with the Petite Belcher at a slightly different length — the contrast in texture between the two works in the piece's favour. In yellow gold, it coordinates naturally across the Jon Crosbie range.

A spiga chain in solid gold is a step up from a standard link chain in both construction and visual interest — and the combination of lobster clasp and pull-through ball adjuster makes it more practical than almost any fixed-length alternative. A considered gift for someone who wears gold daily and wants a chain that adapts to different outfits without effort. Works well gifted alongside a pendant from the Jon Crosbie range for a complete look.
