Explanation

'a chain of gold' is a noun phrase - a group of words centered around a noun ('chain') that functions together as a unit. It functions as the direct object but structurally it's a phrase because it lacks a subject-verb pair. A clause would need both a subject and a verb (like 'which is made of gold').
