Superb Rare 18k gold Geneva link necklace - Denmark

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.

Rare 18k gold Geneva link - Superb Mid Century necklace

This chain is made of solid 18k gold links and measures 16.5 inches. Typically these Danish gold links were made in 14k gold but this one was made in 18k, it is quite a rare find! It’s thought the 18k pieces were made for the Swedish market (who preferred a higher carat I presume).

Geneva link pieces were popular in the 1960s. A solid 18k gold necklace, the v-links are graduated in width, a whopping 37.6g. It feels amazing to wear!

The craftsmanship is beautiful and the chain lays gorgeously on the neck. This piece is in perfect vintage condition. 

Her movement is incredible - this is why I love chains. They are gold textiles!!
