Gold Foxtail Chain Appraisal

Gold Snake/Foxtail Chain Necklace

This item is a gold-colored chain, described as being 31.25 inches in length. It features a snake chain or foxtail link pattern, characterized by tightly woven, small, interlocking metal plates or rings that create a smooth, flexible, and continuous surface. The individual links appear to be rectangular or square-shaped, giving the chain a somewhat segmented, yet fluid, appearance. The color is a vibrant, uniform golden hue, suggesting it is made of gold or a gold-plated material. The chain exhibits a consistent thickness throughout its length. A clasp, likely a spring ring or lobster clasp, is visible at one end, indicating it is designed to be worn as a necklace. The overall condition appears good from the provided image, with no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs, maintaining its reflective sheen. There are no visible maker's marks or distinguishing hallmarks in the image; however, such marks would typically be located near the clasp or on an accompanying tag. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with consistently formed links and a clean finish. The style is classic and versatile, suggesting it could be from various contemporary periods, rather than being specific to a distinct historical era.
