Portuguese Link Chain 10 mm in 18K Gold

A 10 mm Portuguese link chain in 18K gold — the most iconic chain style in Brazilian fine jewelry.

The Portuguese link chain — also known as elo português — is the defining chain style of Brazilian fine jewelry. The interlocking oval links create a flat, flexible surface with a distinctive visual rhythm that no other chain construction replicates. At 10 mm, the chain sits at a substantial width that makes its presence immediately felt on the neck.

The solid link construction gives the chain a durability appropriate for continuous wear. In 18K yellow gold, the interlocking links catch light differently depending on the angle of observation.

Available in multiple lengths. A chain that wears alone or carries a pendant with equal authority.
