This listing is for an impressive and hard to find (HTF) , in very good condition, rare matched necklace and bracelet set. Hard to date, this centuries old classic necklace/bracelet design of simple round bead balls strung on wheat weave chain is made of 14kt gold. The O-ring closure/fasteners do help, somewhat, in dating the 2 pieces that make up this set. Both the 15″ inch wheat chain necklace and matching 8″ inch wheat chain bracelet are strung with 7mm hollow 14kt gold round ball beads. On the necklace – ” 14KT ” is marked on the O-ring spring fastener as well as being lightly marked on a much smaller O-ring tag at the opposite end of its’ chain(requires use of jeweler’s loupe to see smaller). Markings on the 8 bracelet are not as distinct. There are faint markings on the bracelet’s o-ring fastener but they are not clear enough to say with certainty that it is “14KT”. (See pix# 11) Both pieces acid test as 14kt. Can be worn as a set on certain occasions or singly on others and with any outfit. As a novelty the bracelet could serve as an “extender” for the necklace creating a single strand of 23 inches (see pix# 4 and 7). Or the bracelet could be fastened to the center of the necklace to create a drop/pendant effect. See all pictures and “item specifics ” above for additional details.
