{"product_id":"vintage-braided-18k-gold-chain-necklace-26460","title":"Vintage Braided 18k Gold Chain Necklace with Fixed Gold Ball Pearl Beads 17.5\" Minimalist Geometric Layering Pendant Holder Shimmer Gift","description":"\u003cp\u003eABOUT:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI usually lean towards older gold but I like this vintage chain as a pendant holder or geometric link in a neckstack. Fun texture to layer. The little beads are fixed intermittently along the chain providing a lovely glow while the braided chain lends a wonderful shimmer and sparkle of light when it catches the light. These vintage gold chains are timeless and just have a little extra interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFound in Paris with French goldsmith stamp and 750 stamps, the numerical hallmark used in Europe for 18k gold.\u003cbr\u003eThe beads are 5mm gauge \/ diameter. It is 17.5 inches in length, it weighs 3.4 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:\u003cbr\u003eOne bead towards the back has a shallower linear impression that appears like a small ripple, not really super evident while wearing unless you are seeking it out. One bead to the side has an uneven opening where the chain and fixed bead were welded together with some wear to the openings and a smooth area to the chain, compared to the other welded beads that are a bit tidier, but again this is seen when studying the piece under magnification and seeking out each end, I tried to emphasize this in the zoomed photos so if it is not evident there, you can image it is not really seen with normal wear. It has a beautiful glow and shimmer.\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!
