This gorgeous necklace is an absolute classic. I formed and wove each sterling silver link by hand. It's a bit like knitting in metal. The weave is called Byzantine. The look is aristocratic, luxurious, and totally timeless. It is also very comfortable. I wear mine almost every day and usually I forget to even take it off to sleep.

It is 16 inches long and weighs 1.5 ounces. Each link has an outside diameter of 6mm and is made of 18 gauge (1mm) silver. Of course, the clasp is your choice of a handmade hook or a lobster clasp. I can make this necklace to your length. Extra length is $20 an inch. I mean to convey by these measurements that I am in no way skimping on material and that this is a substantial and well constructed piece that will easily last a lifetime and be coveted by your granddaughter.

I can also make this necklace in 14k yellow gold fill here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/450818996/gold-filled-byzantine-link-chainmaille?ref=shop_home_active_1
Gold fill is much more durable than gold plating but not much more expensive than sterling silver.

Mixed metals are also possible.
