Victorian 14KY gold 'Book Chain' necklace

Description : A book chain is exactly that, a chain with flat links that looks like a shelf of books. This style of chain was known during the Victorian era and often used to showcase heavy pendants. In this solid 14KY gold piece, weighing 23.29 grams, the style of the chain is also called Etruscan revival. The clasp and jump ring are gold filled. The Etruscans lived in Italy in the 5th-7th century BCE and were known for their elaborate gold works, and in the 1800's became a popular style. Each link is handmade with unique textural details on every top flat surface. The point of this revival was to preserve and commemorate the incredible skills of the master goldsmiths that lived over 2,000 years prior to the time.
