Made in a unique rope design of dozens of tightly interconnected loops, our Byzantine link necklace is 60 cm (24 inches) long and 12mm (4.7 inches) wide, weighing 114g (4 oz). The matching 12mm bracelet is 8.6 inches long, and weighs 41g (1.45 oz). The base metal is bronze, clad with 18k polished gold.
Such a substantial set as this in solid 18k gold would be cost prohibitive to the everyday person with the price of pure gold being $1937.75 ( /- $5.06) per ounce. A major, well known mall denizen is asking over $5500 on sale for their 20 inch byzantine 14 karat gold necklace.

*Our gold-filled jewelry has 100x more gold alloy than gold plated and because that layer is so much thicker, it means gold-filled jewelry lasts longer and stands up to wear and tear better than gold plated. All it would take is one small scratch on a gold-plated piece to expose the jeweler's metal underneath.
