ABOUT:
Fun French vintage rope or twist chain that has a wonderful shimmering glow. It is thinner towards the back and graduates larger in size towards the front.
This piece is crafted 18k solid gold, which has a rich warm patina with rosy highlights and a buttery glow. I am not positive how old it is, but there is wonderful patina to the piece where the raised areas have a rosier color from organic age which we love to see. And it is in really nice condition with no dings or bends or ripples, just surface wear and beautiful patina!
I purchased this in France. French hallmarks for 18k on the loop. Antique boxes / items in displays in photos are not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
MEASUREMENTS:
It weighs a sturdy 13.2g. Stretched end to end it's 17 inches. The chain gauge is 5.5mm at the largest front and 3.3mm at the back.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. Beautiful rich patina that has warmed the 18k gold - it has a beautiful glow. Some signs of it being worn from age, where there is a very slight / gradual curve, or a ripple here or there but still very stable. Some surface wear but this is only seen if you study it up close due to the mirrored finish. To the eye and while wearing it as an amazing color and shine, like I said it truly glows and the 18 plus grams of solid 18k gold make it a special piece indeed. Sturdy, wearable and interesting piece in the solid gold version. There are no dark or colored spots to the gold, it was just difficult to photograph because it is so shiny and mirrored that it reflects its surroundings. Impactful worn alone but also layers well with other pieces.
My disclaimer with all my pieces - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition.
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
