Oval 9ct Gold Handmade Cable Chain. Each 3.5mm oval link crafted from 0.6mm 9ct Gold round wire. A close look at the above chain shows that is obviously handmade, not machine-made, for the linkage is not quite perfect; sturdy, with it being crafted from 9ct Gold round wire of 0.6mm thickness, and the soldering neatly worked.
Handmaking chain properly is tedious and  time-consuming. Bench jewellers in Australia capable of the task really do not want to do this sort of work, and that is the case throughout the so-called developed world. This has been the case, actually, for decades; interesting that nowadays this has also become the case in a country such as India.
The above handmade 9ct Gold chain is priced as would be a machine-made 9ct Gold chain of the same weight imported from Italy.
