ABOUT:
I usually lean towards older gold but I like this vintage chain as a pendant holder or for a geometric sparkle in a neckstack. It also makes a lovely minimalist statement worn alone. Fun texture to layer, it looks beautiful with yellow gold chains as a contrasting sparkle.
The chain holds 73 brilliant cut diamonds in bezel settings, graduating slightly in size with a section in the center just slightly larger. The little bezel set diamonds have a bar / post connected to each that extends to the adjacent one serving as individual links for movement.
Found in Paris with French goldsmith stamp and 18k stamp.
It is 16 inches in length, it weighs 9.5 grams.
The 15 larger diamonds at the center section area about 2.6-2.7mm each for a total of 1 carat all together.
The others are about 2.1-2.2mm give or take.
It was sold to me as having about 3.6 carats total weight in diamonds, exact carat weight is unknown as I did not measure each individual stone.
Any props or additional items not included. Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Sturdy and ready to wear with a strong clasp and safety catch. Some frosty inclusions but nothing glaring as the stones are small, all bright and sparkly.
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 so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
