Gold Herringbone V-Necklace with Diamond Accent

This item is a 14k or 18k yellow gold necklace featuring a classic herringbone link construction. The chain is approximately 4mm to 5mm in width, characterized by flat, short, parallel links slanted in an alternating pattern that creates a fluid, fabric-like texture. The necklace is designed with a fixed 'V' or chevron shape at the center, where a single round brilliant-cut diamond or clear gemstone is bezel-set. The metal exhibits a high-polish finish, which is typical for this style, reflecting light across the flat surface of the weave. The piece is secured with a traditional lobster claw clasp and flat end caps. Regarding condition, herringbone chains are notoriously delicate; this example shows a slight kink or 'winging' near the right upper curve, a common issue where the interlocking links have been slightly bent out of alignment. There are no visible hallmark stamps legible in the image, but such pieces are commonly associated with Italian manufacturing from the 1980s or 1990s. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced but high-quality fine jewelry piece intended for formal or semi-formal wear.
