Gold Bead Chain “Evanne”

Description

Lovely necklace from the early twentieth century in 18-carat gold featuring alternating gold beads and flat links. The latter are made of champagne gold, a paler gold colour, between white and yellow gold due to a lower concentration of copper in their alloy, for a subtle contrasting effect.

The story: Gold ball chains are also known as “Bead by the yard”. This English name is not an official name, but a descriptive term commonly used in the jewelry industry to describe a style of necklace or chain. This style typically features beads evenly spaced along a chain, creating a simple yet elegant design. Pearls can be made from a variety of materials, such as gold, gemstones, or other decorative elements. The key feature is the uniform spacing of the beads along the chain, which gives it a distinctive look and a lot of sparkle.
