This 18K yellow gold marine link necklace is classically designed and measures 19" in length. It is capped at the ends and secures with a lobster claw clasp. The end caps are stamped 'Italy'. A mariner chain is sometimes referred to as an anchor chain and is considered the strongest type of chain. Each oval link is the same size and has a middle bar that provides additional strength to the link. They are arranged in a typical horizontal fashion. The mariner link chain necklace made its debut in the early 1800s. At first, they were worn primarily by sailors and fishermen to keep their lucky charms close to their hearts (literally). The mariner link, also known as the anchour link, was popular among sailors because it was said to bring good luck on their voyages. Gucci introduced a similar link in the 80's and it quickly became a status symbol.
