One of a Kind ~ Purchaser receives the same necklace shown. This Classic Collection necklace was hand fabricated by Designer Kimberly Arpaia in collaboration with Goldsmith Robert Lang. Each piece in the small one-off artisan collection took the Arpaia-Lang team days to weeks to make. The chain link is composed of handmade 1mm thick twisted wire rings woven in the Byzantine pattern. Each ring is fusion-welded closed for security. Part of the allure of an Arpaia® Classic Collection piece is its sumptuous feel. Fluid drizzle-like drape and smooth metal work ensure comfortable wear. This necklace exudes a rich gold color. The core metal is solid 925 sterling silver. After fabrication, the necklace was heavily plated with 24K yellow gold to exceed federal vermeil plating standards and guarantee the highest plating quality and metal finishing by using advanced technologies for optimal results. The twisted rings have luxurious dual shiny-polished & matte-satin finishes that pair beautifully with the handmade 24K yellow gold vermeil twisted wire wreath-motif toggle clasp. The round end of the toggle clasp is slightly more than 1/2-inch diameter and the bar end is approximately 15/16-inch length. Length: This necklace measures approximately 18.5 in overall length (with clasp closed). Sizing Comments: The necklace's 6mm diameter (thickness) and toggle clasp take up room around the neckline. This necklace should be at least slightly slack around the neck (not snug). For sizing comparison, the model's measurement around the base of her neck is 13.75 inches.
