Delicate 8g Swedish gold necklace - Graduated Bismarck link solid 18k gold - 1964

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.

Delicate 8g Swedish 18k gold - Graduated double link necklace

Swedish vintage, 18K gold, 17.5 inch length, graduated bismarck link necklace. A sweet delicate version of this chain style!

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. This link style was popular in the 1960s.

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.

A heavier version of this necklace style is available in my shop here
