We love the handmade quality of this vintage 18k gold belcher link chain—its oval links are all nearly identical but have slight irregularities that feel more organic than a machine-made chain. The chain was created with careful attention to detail, and the links interlock into small indentations that enhance the flow of the chain. The chain’s width gives it presence on the neck, and the visual weight of the piece allows it to pair with bigger charms or pendants.
The chain is marked with a tiny maker’s mark on one of the links (indiscernible because of its size) and tests as 18k gold. It is 17” long and the links are 2.5 mm thick. It weighs 7.7 grams. It has a spring ring clasp.
Circa 1950’s.
