Indian Chain

No stones, no pendant, nothing to hide behind. Only the weave.

This chain comes from India and is 21 karat woven gold. Indian families have long had high-karat gold chains made to wear at weddings and festivals and to keep as household wealth, and the deep, warm color shows here along the whole length. Tiny links interlock into a slim, supple rope that catches light unevenly along its curve. The ends are capped with small ridged collars, joined by a simple wire hook. There is nothing else to report, which is rather the point. Twenty inches long.

Simple is the hardest thing to do in gold.
