1930s Italian Puffed Anchor Mariner Chain Necklace
This is a 14k gold chain necklace from Italy dating back to the 1930s.
Such a chain, composed of interlinked double-looped links, is known as a "Puffed Anchor Mariner Chain Necklace." This type of necklace comes in various designs, either flat or three-dimensional, but the basic structure involves each link having two holes, evolving from the sturdy chains connecting anchors and often worn by sailors (Mariners) as a necklace carrying lucky charms, hence the name.
Each oval-shaped link in the chain is thick and proportionally sized, giving the overall appearance a plump and modern look. It's a highly versatile piece, perfect for adding a casual yet elegant touch to formal attire.
The necklace is in good pre-used condition, showing only slight oxidation and signs of wear. As assessing the condition of an item can be subjective, please click and zoom in on our photos to examine more details for your judgment.
