18-Inch Solid Gold Rope Chain Necklace

This item is an 18-inch princess-length rope chain necklace, crafted from solid yellow gold weighing approximately 0.21 ounces (6 grams). The piece features a classic rope link design, characterized by closely intertwined gold wire links that create a spiraling effect, mimicking the appearance of a natural hemp rope. The construction appears to be machine-made but well-finished, providing a consistent texture and reflective surface across the entire length. The color is a rich, warm yellow, typical of 10k or 14k gold alloys common in late 20th-century to contemporary jewelry. The chain is fine in gauge, making it suitable for lightweight pendants or as a delicate standalone piece. Upon inspection, the chain appears to be in good pre-owned condition with no visible kinks or broken links. Some minor surface patina and microscopic scratches consistent with age and occasional wear are present, but the structural integrity remains sound. While the clasp is not fully visible in the orientation provided, these chains typically utilize a spring ring or lobster claw closure. The craftsmanship reflects standard retail quality, focusing on durability and high luster.
