A gold necklace features a thick, cord-like chain of interlocking woven strands that form a repeating V-shaped pattern. Arched into a large vertical oval, the ends of the chain terminate in smooth, bulbous caps. A curved mechanical clasp joins these caps together at the top. The polished yellow gold has a uniform finish across the intricate texture of the weave and the smooth surfaces of the closure hardware.
