14K Italian Gold Herringbone Flat Link Necklace

This item is a contemporary 14-karat yellow gold herringbone flat link necklace, measuring approximately 18 inches in length. The piece is constructed from multiple flat, slanted gold scales that are woven together to create a fluid, ribbon-like appearance typical of the herringbone style. It features a bright, high-polish finish that reflects light intensely across its flat surface. The necklace is secured with a heavy-duty lobster claw clasp, which is attached via a sturdy jump ring to the end-cap of the chain. This end-cap is stamped with clearly visible hallmarks: '14KT' indicating gold purity and 'ITALY' indicating its country of origin, a region renowned for high-quality jewelry manufacturing and precision machine-made chains. The craftsmanship is refined, with tight linkages that suggest modern industrial production, likely dating from the 1990s to the present. The condition appears well-maintained with no visible kinks or sharp bends, which are common issues for this type of delicate, non-flexible chain construction. Minor surface scratches and a light patina are consistent with careful previous wear.
