this is a top contender for the most significant, chunky, heavy artisan chain that's cycled through this curation.
made in Mexico, and it has all of the characteristics of a hefty handmade Mexican sterling silver chain and the clasp is a bold, stylish part of the chain, rather than a functional addition. would you wear the clasp on the side? in the front? use the clasp as a charm/pendant holder?
if you have a larger wrist this can also wrap around several times as a chunky bracelet
solid sterling silver

18.25" long, but will fit shorter because it's so thick and wide
links are ~20.55mm wide
weighs a whopping 132.3g(!!) — if you don't like the feeling of significant weight on your neck then this chain is truly not for you

in very good vintage condition
at least one of the links has a minor surface imperfection that seems to be an original quirk, not damage
this is a favorite alloy of Mexican sterling silver because it has a bright, white hue and is tarnishes more slowly than other alloys. nevertheless, there is some minimal patina where the links overlap one another and polishing decisions are left to the buyer
the safety latch on the clasp is VERY tight, which is good, but makes it difficult to open without injuring a finger nail. an easy hack is to use a coin or key to push the latch up to unhook it
this is a vintage item and will show surface scratches, dents, dings, dulling, wear, patina, and signs of having been worn and loved
