Name: Superb Unusual vintage 14k gold Ruffle link necklace - Denmark 34g
SKU: 497023

Welcome to my jewelry box. In addition to leather, I have a fondness for fine yet wearable solid gold and silver jewelry. In particular I love fine mid-century pieces from Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Italy. I import the best vintage pieces from Europe, to wear and to share.

Gold link jewelry is gold textile as jewelry - well that's how I think about my particular fascination with gold link. Obviously I'm a textile lover as I've devoted my design business to bending, sewing and musing over leather textiles. Solid gold forged into slinky chains is another chapter in my oohing and aahing over beautiful pliable yet strong constructions.

Superb Unusual vintage 14k gold Ruffle link necklace

This necklace resonates HARD with me. The angles, the wide links, that they are somehow huge and angled and graduated. And perfect and polished? It feels like it’s made of liquid time. That concept doesn’t make sense and it’s exactly right.

This chain is made of solid 14k oval gold links and measures 17.5 inches long with a graduated link 7-13mm wide. He weighs a whopping 34.6g and feels amazing to wear. A very comfortable piece.

The craftsmanship is stunning and the chain lays gorgeously on the neck. This piece is in excellent vintage condition with a well working hidden box clasp.

This link style feels impossible to me. It makes my brain hurt like an MC Escher image. How can the stairs go up and down simultaneously? How can the links undulate the way they do? I don’t know but I’m looking at it, there’s no doubt it’s happening, and I’m giving in to the pleasure of that chaotic beauty.

Did I mention the beautiful movement? This one is perfect and unusual and rare and wearable. Wow.
