Wonderful retro 9 carat yellow gold fringe necklace. Textured bars of gold create a wave which dances across the neck creating an elegant undulating shape. Connecting these textured bars is a flat polished link which provides a lovely contrast. The wave shape is continuous, all the way around the neck, which is unique and makes this a firm favourite of mine! The back side of the links is plain and polished, adorned only with a small dip at the top edge. The design of the clasp means the textured side is the top but we've found it easy to wear polished side up too for a bit of a different look. This chain closes with an 0 shape end slotting into a curved terminating end. A hinged section pushes down on top. Circa 1970s
