Beautiful, Bold, Modern, and Stylish, Signed Vintage Italian Solid 14K White Gold and Black Rubber Repousse Tangent Circle Pendant Necklace.
The necklace, without the pendant and stretched flat, measures about 19 and 1/2 inches long, from end to end. With the pendant secured on it, should fit at roughly 17 and 1/2 to 18 inches in length, closed. It is approximately 2 millimeters, or just over about 1/16 of an inch, wide. Stamped on the lobster claw clasp, "585", and signed on the opposite side with a partial maker's mark.
The pendant measures approximately 1 and 7/16 inches, or about 36.5 millimeters high, by just over about 1 and 7/16 inches, or approximately 37 millimeters, wide, and just under roughly 5/16 of an inch, or 7.9 millimeters, deep at the thickest point. The center opening measures approximately 15/16 of an inch, or about 23.8125 millimeters, wide. (Included please find a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) The clasp has a swivel on one side for ease of wear. Stamped on the back of the pendant, "14Kt", "Italy", and signed with an unknown pictorial maker's mark. Also discreetly acid tested as solid 14K gold.
The pendant alone weighs approximately 3.85 grams. Combined weight of both pieces is approximately 6.73 grams, which includes the rubber cord weight, of course.
This necklace is in excellent vintage condition, but will exhibit the expected light surface scratches and possibly a few tiny dings to the gold from normal wear. There is a shallow vertical indentation on the lower edge of the pendant, visible in the upward angled photos. The rubber cord remains supple and without damage, and the lobster claw clasp works well and holds securely. Lightly cleaned by hand, but it has not been professionally polished.
A very lovely signed vintage Italian I4K gold pendant necklace. Bold profile, sleekly modernist design, outstanding contrast. A great piece of versatile and stylish jewelry.
