Vintage Brass or Bronze Multistrand Industrial Linked Necklace

This item is a statement necklace featuring four distinct strands of mechanical-style links, likely crafted from brass, bronze, or a similar copper-based alloy. The construction is characterized by repeating rectangular, slightly curved plates joined by ball-tipped pins or rivets, creating a flexible, articulated structure reminiscent of watch bands or industrial machinery. The metal exhibits an even, aged patina with a dull golden-brown luster, suggesting substantial age, potentially dating from the mid-20th century (1950s-1970s) or being a contemporary revival of brutalist or industrial design. The visible clasp appears to be a large box or fold-over style, integrated into the design for a seamless look. No clear maker's marks are visible, though the precise repetition and uniform quality of the links suggest professional manufacturing. The condition appears fair to good; the metal shows surface oxidation and minor scratches consistent with vintage jewelry, but there is no evidence of broken links or significant structural failure. This piece is a notable example of bold, sculptural costume jewelry designed to be worn as a heavy collar or bib.
