I love antique colored gold for the unique and wonderful contrast. This piece is crafted in yellow gold but each of the double braided links has an applied figural leaf in alternating rose and green gold. In addition they added a sort of rivet detail to the north and south edges of each chain section. It's gorgeous to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI believe the leaves are ivy leaves so the piece has a romantic element as well. The ivy motif was popular in olden times in jewelry as it represents life and eternity (essentially immortality), along with clinging attachment. It also was used to express fidelity and friendship. In addition, the piece has a little puffy heart charm added to the safety chain. So many fun elements!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFound in France, the piece bears multiple of their 18k hallmarks including one on the heart charm, along with a goldsmith stamp on the clasp insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny props 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS:\u003cbr\u003eIt weighs 8.6g. It is about 7 1\/4 inches long but it would also be quite easy to shorten by nipping off some links and reattaching the clasp if desired. The links are 7.9mm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:\u003cbr\u003eNo major damage, the piece is solid 18k gold but the links are fabricated with vacant space in the links. A small ripple here or there but typical age related wear, the detail helps mask it. Clasp functions well. A lovely patina and surface wear as expected for age of over 125 years. A few shallow impressions to the puffy heart but still holding its recognizable shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a larger gold loop connecting the clasp at the back that I think is a repair but it is also 18k gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease 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. : )\u003cbr\u003eBut - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOCIAL:\u003cbr\u003ePlease feel free watch @mouseshouseantiques on Instagram for inventory drops, sneak peaks and previews!
