There’s something hypnotic about this one. Each link alternates between a sculpted twist and a polished bead, creating a rhythmic shimmer as it moves. The twists catch the light with a smooth, almost liquid gleam, while the rounded beads break up the pattern with perfect little flashes of polish. It has that lush high-colour gold tone that looks more like 15 or 18ct than the 9ct stamp suggests, rich, saturated and undeniably luxe.
 
The construction feels vintage rather than antique. The 9ct barrel clasp nods to older methods but the fluidity of the twist links points to later 20th century craftsmanship, likely Italian. Substantial enough to wear solo, yet the mix of shapes makes it a dream for layering.
 
This is the type of chain I adore sourcing because it’s so different and you’re certainly not likely to find another quite like it.
