Rendered in 10k gold, the chain consists of square links, each with a star punched into all four sides. The links lock into each other, creating a flexible snakelike chain with fluid movement. The chain has a spring ring large enough to clip charms into, or it can be worn in the back. The star links are intricate and unique, while the spring ring allows for versatility. This is a special piece and an interesting part of history and highlights the versatility in chain variations.

The chain measures 16.5”. Each box-shaped link measures 2.10 mm on all sides. The spring ring measures 1/4”. The chain weighs 6.75 grams. The chain acid tests as 10k gold and the spring ring (which is a new addition) is marked as 14k.
