in 18k Gold
$ 5,800.00
* * SOLD * *
A striking Victorian era book chain necklace, fabricated in 18k yellow gold, whose flat, rectangular links are each decorated with an applied, stemmed, forget-me-not flower. These book-shaped links are joined together with large, circular links— the result is a collar-style chain that lays perfectly flat in wear. This necklace features an extra-large bolt ring clasp, from which you can hang your largest lockets and pendants. We love this versatile chain for it's meaningful and understated decorative touches— the simple, graphic, and perfectly-repeated forget-me-not motif. This makes a bold visual statement, but it is not too ornate for regular wear.
