18k gold pea link necklace by Balestra - Vintage Italian - 23.75 inch length

18k gold pea link necklace by Balestra - Vintage Italian - 23.75 inch length

I'm excited about this longer length pea link chain I have for you today!

Beautifully made in solid 18K gold by the classic Italian maker, Balestra. The word Balestra translates to crossbow, like their logo. I just noticed that balestra is also a term used in fencing which describes a jump toward the opponent followed immediately by a lunge. I imagine that move is springy and precise, similar to a crossbow release.

This chain is made with precision but it is long and languid and femme. 

Luxurious vintage necklace measures an excellent 23.75 inch length (60 cm), 3mm width, and 16.2 grams weight. She is made from solid 18k yellow gold.

The link type is called a pea link, made of rounded circular links that interlock at 90 degree angles creating a chain with a round profile that rolls nicely in hand and across your garments. 

Necklace has a well working and spring clasp. Excellent vintage condition with normal age related wear.

This chain is refined yet not ostentatious, comfortable on your skin and easy to wear.
