VERY FINE! 1970s era Balestra 18k gold special tight curb chain necklace - 20 inch length

At a glance this may look like a typical (beautiful) curb chain necklace, but if you look closely it is a special one. The rate of the links per inch (or cm) is quite high and the space (the air) between links is tight, making the movement of this chain very fine. 

Necklace was made in Italy by the classic maker Balestra, 1970s era. Color is beautifully warm with patina. Necklace measures 20 inches long by 2.8 mm wide and is made entirely of 18k gold. Full Italian hallmarks.

This is a subtly exquisite curb chain! My favorite kind of showing off :)

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!
