Latest Vintage Piece
10 karat, 3.5mm wide herring bone necklace, 16″, 8.8 grams, $700.00 CAD. 431-00735
Some jewellery styles just age better than others. The 80s had more than their fair share of fashion flops when it came to jewellery design, but the herringbone necklace wasn’t one of them. These flattened link classics are still popular with our customers looking for vintage estate jewellery. In fact they sell so well we can’t understand why they are no longer being produced. This one is a survivor and remains in excellent condition showing no areas of stress or kinks. It measures a significant 3.5mm wide and is quite thick at 0.7mm.
When these are made too thin they can easily kink and invisibly repairing them is next to impossible for even a very skilled goldsmith. The shorter length of 16 inches, heavier gauge, and slightly harder 10 karat construction should help protect this example from damage caused by creasing. These herringbone necklaces look almost like a seamless ribbon of gold that contours to the neckline. The flat surface with beveled edges catch the light better than almost any other chain style.
It is secured by an easy to operate good sized lobster clasp. This necklace is in excellent condition showing no wear. It is estate priced at $700.00 CAD. Stock #431-00735.
