Details
This glamorous vintage chain is composed of 20 inches of voluminous, rounded Mariner links, or “Gucci” links, designed to drape like liquid sunshine around the neck. Cased in high-quality 18ct yellow gold, it has retained a beautifully smooth, vibrant gleam for decades and is finished with a secure rectangular fold-over clasp.
Inspired by the heavy anchor chains of seafaring vessels, mariner links have long symbolised strength, stability and a steadfast connection to home. This “puffed” variation rose to fame in the mid-20th century, popularised by iconic fashion houses like Gucci, and is now affectionately known to collectors as the “Puffed Mariner” or “Coffee Bean” link.
This chic vintage chains tactile and smooth texture make it a joy to wear and is the perfect find for someone seeking the "heavy gold" aesthetic without the solid gold price tag. Style it solo to let the gold really pop, or layer it with delicate pendants or other chains for a curated, modern "neck mess" look.
