Elegant gold tone herringbone chain necklace. The clasp is stamped with "14 k gold Italy." the metal was tested and it is absolutely not gold but it's still a beautiful necklace. There is one link that is a tiny bit shorter than all of the other others. I believe it must have been that way when it was made. I do not believe it is very noticeable. The necklace is 24"long and 5" wide.
