14K Tri-Color Gold Braided Necklace

This item is a braided necklace crafted from 14-karat gold, exhibiting a tri-color design with alternating sections of what appears to be yellow gold and white gold. The construction features a herringbone-style weave where flat, polished strands are interlocked to create a fluid, shimmering surface. The braiding technique creates a flexible chain with a distinctive 'snake-like' or 'wheat' effect when viewed closely, though it’s more consistent with a braided herringbone. The necklace is presented on a black velvet display stand, suggesting it is a wearable piece of jewelry. Given the context, it weighs 8.5 grams and has an 'Italy' hallmark, indicating its country of origin and likely a high standard of craftsmanship typical of Italian fine jewelry. The surface shows some signs of wear consistent with age and use, possibly including minor tarnishing or surface scratches that dull some of the inherent luster. There are no observable major damages like breaks or significant kinks, but a thorough inspection not possible from the image would be needed to confirm. The 'starlike ingraves' description from the context might refer to a specific finish or pattern on the individual strands, adding to its unique aesthetic. This piece likely dates from the mid-to-late 20th century, a popular period for multi-tone gold jewelry. The quality of the braid and the known origin (Italy) point to a well-made, durable piece of jewelry.
