1970’s Solid 14k Yellow Gold OG Classic Style Mariner Link Necklace (18.5”)

Have you ever looked at two different necklaces, both are stamped 14k gold, yet one is a lighter yellow while the other is a dark yellow? Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you, they really do have the same content percentage of gold in them. The difference is the amount of other mixed metal content within the grouping whether it be silver, copper, nickel, iron, etc. To get a lighter look of the yellow more silver alloy is mixed, to get a rosier appearance more copper is mixed in, and so on. It all boils down to a personal preference of matching golds tones and this chain has a lighter yellow tone to it which many people prefer over a deeper gold appearance as it looks more “real”. As far as the different styles of mariner link this is the original style. Based on the mariner link chains used in shipyards to dock large boats. It measures 18.5” in length by 5MM wide and weighs a heavy 21g.
