V-shaped Herringbone Flat Link Gold Necklace

This item is a flat Herringbone-style necklace featuring a distinct V-shaped or 'chevron' center point, designed to sit flush against the collarbone. It is crafted from a yellow metal, likely 10k or 14k yellow gold or high-quality gold plating, exhibiting a bright, polished finish. The chain is constructed of woven flat links that create a flexible, fluid, ribbon-like texture characteristic of the herringbone weave. It appears to be approximately 3mm to 5mm in width. The clasp mechanism is a traditional box tab insert with a safety latch, common in mid-to-late 20th-century jewelry design. In terms of condition, the piece shows visible kinking and structural deformation on the left side near the 'V' join; herringbone chains are notorious for being delicate and difficult to repair once crimped or bent. There are also visible scuff marks and surface scratches consistent with use. The piece reflects a late 1970s to 1980s aesthetic, often associated with Italian gold manufacturing. The presence of a box clasp suggests better craftsmanship than standard spring-ring models. Due to the visible kinks, the liquidity and aesthetic value are somewhat compromised, as these defects permanently disrupt the smooth hang of the chain.
