I have been absolutely dreading listing this necklace - I want to keep it, I want to wear it every day, i want to baby it, I want to craft a beautiful velvet bed for the rare times it's not on my neck, I want to rewrite my will so that everything is left to this necklace. I do not want to sell this necklace, but alas, here we are. I know someone out there will love it as much if not more than I do.

Beautifully and simply crafted as a row of slim, solid bars of gold, this chain would be understated if it didn't also look like staring directly into the sun. I've often waxed poetic about the quiet luxury of high karat gold, but I'll admit... this piece is a little less quiet. Not a full blown shout, mind you, but it will absolutely draw the eye of those who know a killer piece when they see it.

While it's crafted with a swooping tension clasp common of high karat Chinese necklaces, it's important to keep in mind that even with the softness of near pure gold, these can (and often do) suffer from metal fatigue and break if opened and closed too much - conveniently at a generous 23.5", you may be able to get away with simply sliding this necklace on and off without fussing over the clasp at all.

Very good estate condition with moderate wear.
