Latest Vintage Piece
24 1/2″, 18kt., hollow curb link necklace, 50.9gr., 8mm wide, Italian made. $4,950.00 CAD. 431-00674
Not all hollow jewellery in made the same. There are manufactures out there producing ultra light weight hollow jewellery for the sole purpose of making the item as cheap as possible, without any consideration of quality or longevity. We have recently encountered earring posts on studs that were actually hollow. While our latest estate chain is indeed hollow, it still was built to last for many decades. The heavy gauge construction still weighs in at a substantial 50.9 grams. No doubt money was saved producing it with a hollow core but that certainly wasn’t the main consideration. The links were formed from premium 18 karat gold of rich colour with a beautiful finish that the Italians are famous for. It comes with a large lobster that looks like new; the chain ends and each of the 8.1mm wide links display no signs wear either.
24 to 26 inches is the most popular length for men’s chains. This one is 24 1/2 inches in long giving it the perfect look for most gent’s tastes. The necklace could also be appropriate for the woman who likes the longer look to wear overtop a blouse. We could remove a section and easily turn it into a matching bracelet for you. We always like to point out the fact the price of gold is still on the rise. At the current price of gold ($3,200.00 per ounce CAD May 9, 2024) this chain contains over $3,900.00 is just the recyclable gold content it contains. If you tried to purchase something like this new, expect to see prices of $7,000.00 or higher. If you can find 18 karat Italian chains for under $100.00 per gram (like this one), please let us know. This like new chain is estate priced at $4,950.00 CAD. Stock #431-00674.
