Textured Oval Link Necklace

For the woman who has stopped layering because each chain has earned its solo.

Effortless elegance for every occasion. This 18k yellow gold Textured Oval Link necklace features a sophisticated station design, where delicate chain segments are interspersed with large, textured oval links. Each oval boasts a rich, hand-finished texture reminiscent of Florentine graffiato techniques, that captures and diffuses the light with a warm, shimmering glow. Its generous 60 cm length makes it incredibly versatile: wear it long as a refined sautoir, or layer it with shorter chains for a contemporary, curated look. The metal is solid 18k Italian gold, struck with the 750 millesimal mark and the registered Italian provincial hallmark that identifies authentic goldsmithing.

The graffiato is the oldest surface technique in the Florentine repertoire: a controlled scratching of the polished gold that scatters light at a thousand different angles instead of reflecting it as a single mirror. The bench masters of the Ponte Vecchio, the heirs of the goldsmithing tradition the bridge has hosted since 1593, kept the technique alive for centuries because it produces a finish no machine can fake. Each oval link in this 18k Italian gold chain is graffiato by hand at the Florentine bench, one link at a time, before being set into the station design.

This is the kind of chain that does not need a pendant to anchor it. Each oval is the pendant.

It works as a long sautoir over a tee. It doubles up as a shorter layered piece. It is the chain that finishes a look without trying.

Sourced from the boutiques of Ponte Vecchio, Florence. Solid 18k yellow gold, 750 millesimal fineness, with the registered Italian provincial hallmark. DDP worldwide delivery, fully insured, duties paid before the necklace leaves Florence. Perfect Fit Guarantee resizing included.
