Vintage Italian Square Wheat Link Necklace in 18k Gold - 19.5 inch length

Beautiful Italian vintage, 18K gold wheat link (aka foxtail link) necklace. 

This link style is made using individual oblong loops of gold woven one by one into the stack, thus creating a chain of intricate woven v-links or chevrons. This chain making technique has been around for hundreds of years, originating in Italy. 

19.5 inch length, 1.5mm width, and weighing 9.11 grams of solid 18k gold, this wheat link necklace is a rich yellow gold hue. Made by the classic Italian maker, Balestra, in Bassano del Grappa, Italy. 

The way she reflects in the light, you need to make sure to see the video clip below. 

A forever piece that can be worn and layered every day.

I happen to love citrine partly because it’s my dad’s birthstone and partly because I just love the color of a high quality stone. This is a special piece also because of its shape and cut. And of course it’s a perfect size for all sorts of chain lengths. I’m very happy to own it!
