A wheat chain is four strands of twisted oval links braided into one, so it looks like a stalk of wheat: smooth, round and bright. Most here are 14K yellow gold, from a 0.6 mm thread to 3.5 mm, in 16 to 24 inches; a 1.2 mm at 18 inches weighs about 3 grams, a 3.5 mm at 20 inches about 25. The 21K pieces are square wheat, at 1.5 and 2 mm.
“With gold, you're always dealing with money. So first decide how much of it you want to put into the gold.” Trax, at the jewelry store on 47th Street
23 wheat chains, nearly all in 14K yellow, from a 0.6 mm diamond cut thread to a solid 3.5 mm.
The 21K square wheat at 1.5 mm was bought most in the year, 11 of them, and the 0.6 mm diamond cut next at 7.
Buyer's guide
Round or square wheat, how fine a chain for your cross, and what it weighs at your length
Choose the wheat by what it has to carry. A fine round wheat holds a cross or a small charm, and its tight braid is slow to kink. For a chain that stands out on its own, step up to the solid 3.5 mm. Read the grams before the millimeters, because the grams are the gold. The square wheat is 21K, a deeper yellow and a softer metal, so give it a light piece.

Every count on this card is from the 23 chains live here on October 13, 2026 and what this page sold in the year to October 12, 2026; prices are on the listings. Grams are each listing's own figure. The 22-inch 3.5 mm prints none, so ask us for its grams.
At 20 inches the 1 mm round wheat weighs 2.3 grams, the 2.1 mm 8.8, and the solid 3.5 mm about 24.5. Longer weighs more. Where several lengths share a listing, ask the live chat for the grams at yours.
Yes. The desk lengthens or shortens a wheat chain and can swap the clasp, and a shorter chain holds less gold. Ask in the live chat before you order. Once it is cut or extended for you, the chain is final sale.
Yes, and well, since the braid stays round and does not fold under the bail. Take 1 to 1.2 mm for a small cross, 1.5 to 2.1 mm for one with more weight, and the solid 3.5 mm for a big piece.
Yes, two square wheat chains in 21K, at 1.5 and 2 mm, from 16 to 20 inches. 21K is 87.5 percent gold, a deeper yellow than 14K and softer, so hang a light cross or charm on it and take it off at the gym.
Both. All but three are listed for women and men alike. The three listed for men alone are the solid 3.5 mm chains, wide enough to wear with no pendant at all. A fine wheat under a small charm suits anyone.
Rarely, because the braid holds its shape better than a loose link does. Fasten the clasp, then hang it or lay it flat when it comes off. To clean it, use warm water with a drop of mild soap, rinse, and pat it dry.
Yes, if the desk clears it within fourteen days of delivery and it is unworn and unaltered. It travels on the return label we send. Five percent restocking and that label come off the refund. A chain cut or extended for you is final.
The grams, the karat and the day's gold set it, plus the work of braiding the link, and each listing prints its own price. For a length or clasp not listed, open the live chat, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET.
