Gold Box Chain Appraisal

17-inch 14k Yellow Gold Box Chain Necklace

This is a delicate, slender 17-inch necklace crafted from 14k yellow gold, featuring a classic box chain or Venetian chain style. The links are tightly interconnected, forming a smooth, somewhat square-profiled chain that reflects light consistently along its length, creating an attractive shimmer. The gold exhibits a bright, polished yellow hue, consistent with 14k gold, and appears to be in excellent condition with no visible signs of tarnish, significant scratches, or damage. The construction suggests good craftsmanship, with no apparent kinks or irregularities in the chain's weave. One end of the necklace features a small, securely attached open jump ring for connection, while the other end terminates in a well-proportioned spring ring clasp, also made of yellow gold. The clasp appears functional and robust for its size. There are no discernible maker's marks or stamps visible in the provided image, but a '14k' purity stamp would typically be found near the clasp or on a small tag. The uniform appearance and clean lines indicate a timeless design, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. Its simplicity makes it versatile for everyday wear or for holding small pendants.
