A type of jewelry composed of interlinked metal strands crafted from an alloy containing 58.3% pure gold, rendering it durable and lending it a rich color. The links are twisted together in a pattern that mimics the texture of a nautical rope. A version of this jewelry design is created with no hollow spaces within the interwoven segments, resulting in a greater weight and perceived value.
This particular configuration offers enhanced resistance to deformation and breakage compared to its hollow counterpart, contributing to longevity. Its substantial construction lends a sense of luxury and prestige, often chosen for its aesthetic appeal and enduring quality. The style’s origins can be traced to earlier forms of metalwork, but its modern popularity reflects a desire for both visual impact and lasting worth.
