A bold box-link chain in solid 14k gold with three embedded lab-grown diamonds. Not decorative — declarative. The Link Statement is the men's core necklace. A substantial 6mm box-link chain in solid 14k gold with three 0.25ct lab-grown diamonds embedded directly into three of the center links — flush-set so they read as part of the chain itself rather than as separate pendants. **About box-link chains:** Box links are heavier and more angular than Cuban links, with each link a perfect cube connecting to the next. The look is more architectural, less traditional. Box link drapes closer to the chest than rope or ball chain and holds its shape. **The stones:** Three 0.25ct lab-grown diamonds (0.75ct total), each Excellent-cut round brilliant, E color, VVS2 clarity. Flush-set means the top of the diamond is level with the gold surface — no prongs, no raised bezel — so the stone sits flush with the chain for a "gem-in-gold" look rather than a "diamond on top of gold" look. IGI-certified per stone. **Why flush-set:** For a men's chain worn daily, flush-setting is structurally the most durable option. The stone has no raised edges to catch or chip. It's also visually modern — less "jewelry," more "detail." **Solid 14k gold, not vermeil:** At this tier, the piece is solid 14k throughout — not plated or filled. Solid gold is heavier, doesn't tarnish, retains value, and holds up to decades of daily wear. The chain alone weighs approximately 22 grams in 20" length. **Length guide:** 18" wears at collarbone. 20" is the standard men's length and sits at the top of the sternum — under a T-shirt, it peeks above a crew neckline. 22" and 24" wear over collared shirts or at the opening of an unbuttoned button-down. **Clasp:** Lobster claw with double safety catch. Significantly more secure than a standard spring ring. **Styling:** Works with T-shirts, button-downs unbuttoned, or over a crewneck. Avoid layering with another heavy chain — the Link Statement is designed to be the point. Pair with a solid-band ring or simple bracelet rather than additional necklaces. **At this price:** A solid 14k gold box-link chain with 0.75ct of E/VVS2 flush-set diamonds typically retails at $1,500+ in traditional channels. Lamond's lab-grown direct model keeps it at $750. Ships with IGI certifications for all three stones in a fitted presentation case.
Frequently asked
Is the diamond in the Link Statement real?

What metal is the Link Statement made from?
The Link Statement is made from Solid 14k Gold. All Lamond pieces use solid 14k or 18k gold — never plated or filled — so they won't tarnish, fade, or turn your skin green.
Can I return the Link Statement if it doesn't fit?
Yes. Lamond offers a 30-day return policy on unworn pieces. Free returns on all US orders. We also offer free resizing on rings and bracelets within the first year.
How is this different from a mined diamond?
Lab-grown diamonds have the exact same chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds — even IGI gemologists use the same grading scale for both. The difference is ours are grown in a controlled lab environment in weeks instead of being mined, which means zero environmental displacement and ~70% lower cost.
