14K White Gold Diamond Link Necklace, Circa 1970s

Each link takes the shape of an X, densely pavé-set with round brilliant diamonds so the metal nearly disappears under an unbroken run of small, bright facet; the eye reads a continuous sparkle rather than individual stones. The X-links hinge into one another along the full length, giving the necklace fluid movement against the neck rather than the stiffness of a rigid collar. This piece is part of a matching suite, with a coordinating bracelet and earrings available separately. Stamped 14K, the front pavé shows no visible wear or missing stones; light tarnish is present in the box clasp mechanism, consistent with age. Measuring 16 inches long by 9mm wide, weighing 55.75 grams total, set with 360 round brilliant diamonds totaling 5.40 carats, H-I color, SI1-SI2 clarity.
