14K Gold Bombata Bib Necklace — Diamond-Cut Popcorn Chain, 17", 7.8g
This 14-karat yellow gold bib necklace is a striking example of the Italian-influenced bombata style that is timeless. The design pairs multi-strand popcorn chain neck straps — each composed of diamond-cut ball beads in a woven, serpentine configuration — with a graduated open-lattice bib that fans into a shallow V at the décolletage. The result is a piece with considerable visual presence that wears with surprising lightness.
The bib's open-lattice construction — rows of tiny faceted gold beads interlocked into a flexible mesh — catches light continuously across its surface, producing the characteristic shimmer of diamond-cut gold without heaviness. The neck straps flow naturally and sit close to the neckline, making this a collar-style statement piece suited to open necklines, décolletage, and formal wear.
Hallmarks stamped on the clasp tags include "14KT" and maker's mark "ID" on one tag, and "AU" (the elemental symbol for gold, aurum) on the opposing tag — a double-stamped system used by certain Italian and American manufacturers as supplemental purity verification.
A rare find in excellent condition — no kinks, no link stretching, no thinning. Ready to wear.
CONDITION
Excellent. The lattice bib is fully intact with no broken links visible under examination. The neck chain strands show no kinking, stretching, or thinning. The lobster claw clasp is secure and functions correctly. The gold retains its original color and finish throughout. Polishing is left to the buyer's preference.
