Gold Byzantine Chain

A gold Byzantine chain at Seattle Gold Grills is 14K gold woven from interlocking links into a rounded, dense chain that looks like a rope from a distance and a puzzle up close. The shop is family run in Renton, Washington, has worked in gold since 1976, serves Seattle and the Puget Sound area, and ships nationwide, fully insured with signature required.

How the Weave Comes Together

Each Byzantine link is formed, closed, then threaded through the links around it before the next one goes in. That sequence is why the pattern takes far longer to assemble than a curb or cable of the same length. The payoff is texture: the surface has folds in every direction, so 14K yellow gold shows a different depth at every angle and the chain never looks flat.

How Gold Chains Are Priced

Gold chains are priced by weight at the current gold market, so the price on each listing updates with the gold price. Byzantine construction packs a lot of metal into a short run, so a Byzantine chain weighs more than a simpler pattern in the same width, and the labor in the weave is part of what you are buying. Heavier widths and longer lengths cost more.

Care and Wear

The weave gives a cloth plenty to reach, so wipe the chain after wearing and rinse it in warm water with mild soap when it looks dull. Dry it fully, since moisture sits in the joints. Store it flat, and keep it apart from chains with sharper links that could work into the weave.

The gold Byzantine bracelet matches this chain, and the silver Byzantine bracelet shows the same weave in white metal. Browse all chains, price a custom design in the Chain and Pendant Builder, or book a consultation in Renton to see the weave in hand.
