1977 Swedish 18k Gold necklace - Graduated double link chain - 17 inch length

Gold link jewelry is gold textile - 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.

1977 Swedish 18k Gold necklace - Graduated double link chain necklace - 17 inch length

I love this Scandinavian link style!

Swedish made in 1977, this piece is handmade in solid 18K gold, measures 17 inches in lenth length, and weighs a very nice 13.2 grams. , This graduated double link necklace is a classic you'll love to wear. 

This link type is called a double-link (also bismarck link). Pairs of links run side by side - like two curb chains delicately soldered, link by link, to form a double length of links. Links in this style are smooth and supple and do not snag on clothing.

Links are gradually smaller and larger to elegantly transition around your neck. Imagine making these individual links to perfectly create that gradation - I find this level of goldsmithing astonishing in it's handmade precision.
