This very bold vintage 18K yellow gold and natural lapis-lazuli Greek necklace is amazing in its detailed design and quality of construction. The entire length is a torsade of 1/4 inch diameter, intricately woven gold wire, all terminating with two long tassels of the same design, each capped with an 18mm long lapis pendelope. Granulation, scroll and rope motifs complete this item's luxurious classic revival appeal. The wearable length is 16 inches around the neck plus an additional 6 1/4 inches from the top of the Herculean knot to the end of the longer lapis end cap. A plate near the clasp bears Greek workshop identifying numbers as well as 750, indicating 18K gold. The very secure inline plunger clasp virtually disappears into the very articulated design at the rear. Gross weight 141.28grams.
