14k gold chain - what style is this?

[twosanguinehearts]

Hello! Does anyone know what the style of this chain is called? It's a 14k gold chain and it doesn't seem to match anything I'm finding online. Thank you!

It is called Riccio

Thank you so much! Might I assume that the origin of this is Italy? Do you know anything about this style? Not sure how popular it is since I can't find any comparisons!! Really appreciate your help!

Also wondering if anyone can read what it says above the 14?

Yes, these chains are made in Italy.
They were very popular in the 1990s. The home shopping networks were selling a lot of them.

I don't see a 14.
I see 585, which is the European mark for 14k.

I thought it was interesting but 90s and HSN makes me wonder if it’s not so stylish anymore...and maybe not the best quality.

Agree with both points; however, it is pretty!

I think this chain is gorgeous and unusual.
So what if it is from the 90s? You didn't know what it was, and I bet most people who see it on your neck won't know either.
Gold never goes out of style!

You’re right - I have another more common chain, and this one caught my eye because it’s unique!

I think it's stylish. I like the chevron pattern and the bead detailing on the sides.

What a gorgeous set. They look so good on you! Thanks for sharing.

the bracelet and necklace are so very pretty on you! the color of gold looks and your skin tone create such a pleasing look. really nice to have both the necklace and the bracelet. quite polished and put together to have a set. and to make things even better, the necklace and bracelet appear to be the absolute perfect length on you,too!!

My Mother had a set in the 1960'6 of 9ct gold & at the time they were called the fishbone style of chain.

I'm glad you got it! It looks beautiful on you. Riccio chains have great visual texture. I have one in sterling I like a lot.
