About the Item
A magnificent example of Russian Empire style, this solid gold necklace is opulence embodied. At 108 cm, this chain can be worn around the neck once for a luxe look, or two-three times for a layered look. Or, wrap it around your wrist for the ultimate stacked chain bracelet.
Each link is made up of 4 links, crafted with elegance and perfection. Weighty and supple, this necklace is smooth when worn and feels incredible on. Weighing 56.7 grams this chain is simply wonderful. The rich gold tone is exceptional and has a warmth that is only found in antique gold pieces.
Likely created at the turn of the 1900’s this necklace is continuous and has no clasp opening. Missing any original hallmarks it has tested and accordingly hallmarked with Dutch 14 karat hallmarks. The style is typical of chains created in the Russian Empire in the first quarter of the 1900’s.
