18k Yellow Gold Hollow Rope Chain with Santo Niño Pendant

This item is a complete jewelry set consisting of an 18k yellow gold hollow rope chain and an accompanying 18k yellow gold Santo Niño pendant. The chain is a substantial 24 inches in length and features a classic rope design, which creates a textured and visually appealing twisted effect. Being a 'hollow rope' chain, it offers the significant aesthetic of a solid gold chain but with a lighter weight, making it more comfortable for daily wear and potentially more affordable, while still maintaining the luxurious appearance of 18k gold. The chain weighs 17 grams. The pendant is crafted from 18k yellow gold and weighs 13 grams. It depicts a '2-tome Santo Niño' religious figure, suggesting a two-tone design, though the image primarily shows yellow gold. The figure is prominently encircled by what appears to be a halo or border set with diamond chips, which provide a sparkling contrast and enhance the religious motif. The diamonds, described as 'chips,' are likely small, faceted stones intended to add glitter rather than significant carat weight. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage or repair from the visible image. The craftsmanship of both the chain and pendant seems consistent with fine jewelry, featuring intricate details on the Santo Niño figure and a well-formed rope chain. The combination of yellow gold and small diamond accents suggests a timeless, elegant, and spiritually meaningful piece of jewelry. The estimated age is not provided, but the style is classic and enduring.
