I am thrilled to present a range of Vintage jewellery
from an old stock inventory that had been locked away for many years and
presents like new today.
This Fabulous Vintage Necklace is crafted from All Precious Metals and comprised of fourteen thick and solid, nautical
reef knot feature links, sometimes referred to as Lover’s Knots. The knots
feature a ribbed, yellow gold hued loop and a smooth, shiny rose or
pink gold hued one. They alternate with a thick ribbed joiner. The contrast
of two hues of gold is fabulous! It could also be worn wrapped twice about the
wrist, if you'd prefer a different look.
The clasp is a clip-in, ribbed
style so it is disguised. I tried this on and it look so great, I was inclined
to keep it! It is a great length sitting just below the collarbone and even
lower on a more slender person - I am including a chain extension that
will add a further 3" or 7cm.
It has the silky smooth feel usually only associated
with solid carat gold and expected of quality antique jewellery. It has warm
pink/rose & yellow hues and is so much nicer than the pictures suggest.
