ABOUT:
HEAVY solid gold chain - Awesome shimmer and shine to this French vintage omega chain. Collar length at 17 inches and heavy at 26 grams of solid 18k gold. Fun to layer but glimmers and glows worn alone. A really nice quality piece in excellent condition.
This one is fabricated as a series of curved links so that while wearing, it domes out slightly from the decollete. With a very sturdy hand feel. It tapers slightly to be thickest at the center.
I actually have a pair of somewhat similar chains that layer well together as seen in the pics but completely different fabrication, much different weights and two different lengths.
Found in France, with their 18k hallmark on the loop.
Props, bannisters, mice, ; ) other items not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos, especially with the zoomed images that I am required to present for detail.
MEASUREMENTS:
HEAVY! A very sturdy 26 grams. I can't stretch it end to end because of the way it curves but running a tape measure around it, it's about 17 inches in length.
The chain is about 5.6mm wide by 2mm deep at the widest part of the center, rounding nicely off the decollette. It has a push button clasp that nests into the back and a very secure safety latch.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Note that it holds its shape somewhat so it doesn't really drape like a liquid chain, which is how it was fabricated.
No notable damage aside from surface wear and what is expected for a pre-owned vintage piece.
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report : )
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!
