The Catenina Chain is a fine solid gold Italian-made cable chain. A 0.9mm thick Catenina (fine cable link) chain at 45cm length, polished to a high-lustre finish. Available in 9ct yellow, white or rose gold, and 18ct yellow or white gold.

Crafted in Italy and hand-finished to Lucano's standards. Our founder is a member of the Università degli Orefici (est. 1508, Rome), bringing five centuries of Italian goldsmithing tradition to each piece. The slim profile makes it perfect for layering with the Letterina Initial Necklace, the Capezzina Chain, or the Venetian Chain.

Why the Catenina Chain

  • Fine cable-link silhouette: Catenina (Italian for "little chain") is a fine cable-link chain, the most delicate Italian chain style. Built for layering and everyday wear.
  • 0.9mm thickness, 45cm length: the most slender chain in the Lucano line. Reads as a subtle gold accent rather than a feature piece.
  • Five metal options: 9ct yellow, 9ct white, 9ct rose, 18ct yellow, 18ct white gold. The widest metal range in our chain collection.
  • Made in Italy: crafted by Italian goldsmiths, finished and verified by Lucano in Australia.
  • Italian goldsmithing heritage: Lucano's founder is a member of the Università degli Orefici (est. 1508, Rome). Lifetime craftsmanship warranty. Free shipping Australia-wide.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Catenina chain?
Catenina is Italian for "little chain" — a fine cable-link chain made of small oval links joined to form a delicate continuous line. It is the slimmest Italian chain style, built for layering and as a base chain for pendants.

Is 0.9mm strong enough to wear daily?
Yes, with care. The Catenina is the finest chain in the Lucano line. It is built for layering and pendant wear. We recommend removing for heavy exercise, swimming, and sleeping. Each chain is backed by Lucano's lifetime craftsmanship warranty.

Does the Catenina pair with the Letterina Initial Necklace?
Yes — the Letterina uses an even finer 0.7mm chain, but the Catenina layers cleanly above it at 0.9mm.

Is the chain solid gold?
Yes. Solid gold throughout, hallmarked 375 (9ct) or 750 (18ct). Not plated or filled.

What is the warranty?
Every Lucano piece is backed by a lifetime craftsmanship warranty. Free shipping Australia-wide.

Where is Lucano jewellery made?
Every Lucano piece is hand-made in our Byron Bay Hinterland studio by Australian goldsmiths. Our founder is a member of St Eligio, Università e Nobil Collegio degli Orefici jewellery association established in Rome in 1508, and that lineage informs every angle and finish.
What's the difference between 9ct and 18ct gold?
9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold; 18ct contains 75%. 18ct has a richer warm colour and higher gold value, while 9ct is harder and more durable for everyday wear. Both are solid gold, not plated, and both are RJC-certified at Lucano.
Where do you source your gold?
We source exclusively from ABC Refinery, Australia's only independent refiner with simultaneous LBMA, SGE, and CME Group COMEX accreditation. Our entire supply chain meets Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) standards for human rights, labour, and environmental practice.
How long does a Lucano piece take to make?
Each piece is hand-made to order. Typical production is 6 to 8 weeks, and you can see your specific timeline directly on each product page.
How do I care for my gold piece?
Store in the original pouch to prevent scratches. Avoid contact with chlorine, perfume, and harsh detergents. Clean gently with warm water and a soft cloth. We offer complimentary polishing as part of our lifetime warranty.
