Vintage 10K Gold Bismark Chain Necklace

The Bismark chain dates back to 19th century Germany and consists of flat, woven, interlocking links braided together to form a fluid and versatile chain. This older design has a timeless elegance while still speaking to modernity, making it a great staple piece. It is created with a complex weaving technique of tiny metal rings that allow the seamless chain to lie flat while worn. With the rising cost of gold, we love that this 5 mm thick chain has a bit of airiness to it, keeping its weight down while also having presence on the neck. Rendered in 10k gold, it is a great alternative to a heavier 14k gold piece.

The chain measures 18” and 5 mm wide. It weighs 9 grams. It is marked 10k and Mexico.

Circa 1980’s or 1990’s.
