Retro Gold Twist Necklace

Although resting on the ocean floor for centuries, gold coins recovered from shipwrecks are as shiny as the day they were minted. Gold, the most coveted of elements and one whose extraordinary properties are highly favored by metalsmiths, was first used in jewelry thousands of years ago and shows no signs of losing its enthralling appeal. This sumptuous serpentine Retro choker (circa 1940s-50s) gleams with two strands of 14K gold snake chain, twisted together to create a wonderfully weighty (78.3 grams) jewel that so perfectly complements just about any ensemble -- it very well might become your signature piece. Oh, gold is also an excellent conductor of electricity--yours. Hand fabricated, it measures 15 inches.
